Hi, I'm Spencer! 🙋🏽♀️ I post book-related videos, from reviews to reading vlogs to general bookish rambling. I constantly stray from my TBR and while I'll read just about anything, I'd say my go-to genres are mystery/thriller + romance.

5 STAR COZIES 🏆 || Favorite Cozy Mystery Covers
Did you know…. They have a Stars Hollow night in Flowery Branch, just north of Atlanta?!
Yeah fall! I’m in Upstate South Carolina so it’ll be Thanksgiving before we’re in sweater weather! But I don’t care! Thanks for this list! ❤
I love H.Y. Hannah!
Thank you! I found just about everything on Hoopla. Excited to get started.
Oh my goodness, love all of the fall and cozy vibes!!!
These all look like fun reads!
Give me all the Fall Cozies 🍂
It’s never too early for cozy fall books 🍂🍁🎃
I listened to Death of a Pumpkin Carver by Lee Hollis. I loved the humor and the fall vibes. It was a perfect way to get into the Autumn spirit. 🎃
😊🍁🍂
I love the Murder, She Wrote books so much! I just ordered Trick or Treachery because I somehow missed that one. Thanks for the recommendation!
Yay! Cozy mysteries are my fav & I'm on the hunt for cozies written by black authors. They're so hard to find! A lot of white authors write as a black person & hide that fact. You have to do your research to not be fooled
Took out all my Fall mugs, throws, dec. pillows, candles,etc. 2 wks. ago. I am SO SICK of summer and sooooooo anxious for Autumn! I was disappointed in The Cider Shop Rules and DNF'd it. Repetitive and too slow moving.. Have some of the others you mentioned. Thank you for putting in the description box; too fast to follow. Love cozy mysteries, esp. in Autumn😊
Bring on fall!!
Thanks for sharing! I already bought pumpkin spice cookies, Sweet Loren’s brand.
Sounds great!
Thank you! I knew some of these but not all of them.
You’re welcome!
Love the list and super appreciate that you didn’t read the descriptions for every one.
Thanks! 😚
In my mind, school starts August 1st when our schools started back. ❤
Makes sense to me!
I’ve read a bunch of these and the best by miles is Lord of the Wings! Gourd to Death is also great fun.
LOVED lord of the wings!!
Breath of fresh air you are!!!❤️
Aw thank you 💛
so.. I basically just took your list and headed straight to the library app...LOL what a great list, thank you! I have a few to suggest that are favorites of mine: A Trip for Trouble by Diane Kelly and Gone for Gouda by Korina Moss. Thank you so much! Happy Reading <3
Smart! Thanks for the other recs!
I currently have on my list, 15 minutes of Flame by Cristin Brecher, What’s a ghoul to do by Victoria Laurie, The Love of my After Life by Kristie Greenwood, Be careful what you witch for by Dawn Eastman and Pall in the Family by Dawn Eastman, perfectly proper paranormal museum, The Diva haunts the house, Murder by the book Lauren Elliot, pros and cons by Amanda flower, and so many more hahahah
Fall needs to be longer for us to get through our tbr!
@@IntentionallyBookish absolutely! Also wanted to share with you I have two daughters and we came up with a fun fall craft you may want to do! It will look so neat in your home. We are making cemetery terrariums! You take like a fish bowl or a beautiful deep dish and fill with dirt moss add plants we are doing carnivorous plants like the Venus fly traps and a few more in that family because they have some really neat looking ones! We ordered the tiny little figurines on Amazon it’s like a kit w tombstones and black cats etc u can add lights trees omg so fun so my girls and I are doing this next month. Just an idea for you and your family to do plus a great decoration 😊
Cozy mysteries and their pun titles hahaha 🤣 I love it
They’re the best!
I love the color of your sweater! Halfway between a summer and an autumn color. :) All those book covers!!! They are gorgeous
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing! I'm so excited to read some fall cozies! I'm not quite ready to give up summer, but I'm looking forward to autumn regardless!
They’ll be ready when your are!
Lol i just bought mischief nights are murder 🤎🎃🍂🍁 great minds ...
One of my favorite series! You will be in stitches!
@@Soniawithani omg I can't wait! I am casting the characters in my mind. As it's set in Jersey lots of Real Housewives have been cast 🤣 For some reason Aunt Ginny is Cyndi lauper in my mind 🤣🤣🤣 Any suggestions? X
@@jdan5793 Aunt Ginny’s personality reminds me of The Nanny’s Grandmother though I don’t remember her name. 😂
I've already been eating and drinking pumpkin spice so I'm definitely in a Fall mood. I've read several of the books on your list and they are fantastic. Two Fall new releases I plan to read are Bell, Book, and Corpses by TC LoTempio (Halloween themed, victim found with two bites on his neck) and In the Blink of a Pie by Catherine Burns (Thanksgiving themed). I may re-read the Cider Shop series by Julie Anne Lindsay and the Family Skeleton series by Leigh Perry too. I hope you enjoy all of the books you read this Fall! 🍁🍎🎃
Ah I forgot the skeleton series! 💀
i’ve been waiting for this video from you! such good recs!
Yay! Hope you enjoyed!
This looks like a great list. I will start chasing down these books. Thanks for posting this!
Glad it was helpful!
Your little baby is so beautiful and so talented 🎉
Have you read Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe? I guess it’s more magic realism, but it’s a feel-good book for sure.
I haven’t, thanks for the rec! And thank you!
❤
I’ve read all of them and watched this video to hear any fan girl hush about them. Can’t wait till September for the next one!!! I absolutely love Eve, Roarke and the whole team!!! #awesome!
I’m so excited for new ones!!
I loved this! You have a lovely family❤
You are so kind 😊
The Laundry Lady crew from Tonya Kappes are cool
I always love your recs, Spencer. 👏
Thank you so much! 💛
What a cozy relaxing video! Thanks for sharing 💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
The clambake mystery series by Barbara Ross takes place in Maine and has 11 books.. ✌🏽
Dana Girls is my favorite!
Love Peg and Rose
Love all these recs 💛 Thanks y’all.
I’m so disappointed that there are no more in A Book Binding mystery series by Harper Kincaid . I thought both were great. Plus the second had such a cliffhanger at the ending.
I know! It’s such a bummer; a promising series
I’ll put in a suggestion for my own Hollow’s Glenn Coven Mystery series with a coven of sleuthy witches trying to maintain the energy balance of the mountain region while people keep coming to them with mysteries to solve. Other than my own, I also like the Dead and Gondola series with the two sisters solving crimes and The Vampire Diaries which has a main girl and her vampire grandmother’s group of fellow vampires to help her. These are all super fun!
The mystery bookstore Series by VM Burns has a group of senior sleuths, the main character and a couple of college students who regularly get together, to solve crimes. Very heart warming and funny ✌🏽
Thank you for this recommendation. Getting it from Hoopla tomorrow.
The Ruth Morgan mystery series has a sidekick (her grandson) but I think they investigate together.
These all sound so fun! I'm still so new to the world of cozies. I love your recommendation videos!
Glad you like them!
I love Peg and Rose so much!!!
They’re hilarious!!
Some of my favorites are The Miss Fortune series by Jana DeLeon, The Supper Club Series by JB Stanley (Ellery Adams), The Southern Sisters series by Anne George, The Gladdy Gold series by Rita Lakin, The Agnes Barton series, The LA night Market series by Jen J. Chow, and The Chatty Corgi series by Jennifer Hawkins. Thank you for your suggestions, I added a few to my TBR!
Amazing, thanks for all the recommendations!!
This sounds amazing! Wish I would have watched this video earlier. I’ll have to keep my eye out next year in case you host it again.
Loved the vlog😊
Thank you!! 😊
Such a relaxing, enjoyable vlog
Thank you 😊
What a fun idea! Thank you for featuring Cheddar Off Dead!
It’s such a fun one!! ☺️
