Cozy by Isabel Gillies

4.0

This book took me a while to get into. I went to the signing & launch for it, and I was curious but found that it wasn't the right book for that time so I put it aside for a while and passed on the copy to a friend. I'd actually forgotten that I joined the library queue for the Kindle edition and when it landed on my Kindle earlier this week I gave it another go. Surprisingly, I got right into it and finished it quickly. While I still don't find things like the 1 train cozy, I understood Gillies' point that it's how you look at things -- and that cozy is a concept rather than a definite. I also loved her "seven minute Louvre" as sometimes I want to see every nook and cranny of a museum and others (looking at you, Rijksmuseum & Night Watch), I just have a quick hit list. I also enjoyed her seeking out hygge in Denmark and other elements of travel coziness.

An interesting book, and I'm glad I read it.
