There’s something magical about curling up with a warm drink, a soft blanket, and a story that feels like home.
In a world that’s moving faster and louder than ever, readers in 2025 are craving comfort — and the rise of cosy e-books proves it.
At Good E-Books, we’ve seen a clear shift: people aren’t just reading to escape; they’re reading to restore. Cosy mysteries, small-town romances, and feel-good fiction are dominating downloads — offering calm, warmth, and a touch of hope when we need it most.
The Rise of Comfort Reading
Trends across BookTok, Goodreads, and Kindle charts show that the most downloaded titles aren’t the darkest thrillers — they’re the softest stories.
From heartfelt romances to gentle whodunits, these comfort reads of 2025 are all about low stakes and high heart.
Popular Cosy Genres Right Now:
- Small-town romances with community spirit and second chances.
- Cosy mysteries featuring clever amateur sleuths and lovable locals.
- Animal-centred stories where pets bring people together.
- Cottage-core fiction full of baking, books, and beginnings.
& Other Cozy Favourites
If you haven’t met Miss Demeanor yet, she’s one of this season’s most charming fictional detectives — equal parts sharp, kind, and impossible not to root for.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, this series combines classic whodunit energy with a modern cosy twist, making it one of the best cosy e-books available for download on Good E-Books right now.
Pair it with titles like The Café by the Sea, The Bookshop of Second Chances, and A Death in the English Countryside for your ultimate “rainy-day reading list.”
Why Cosy Stories Matter
In uncertain times, these books remind us that kindness still counts, people can still change, and the smallest town can hold the biggest heart.
They don’t demand — they soothe.
They don’t shock — they heal.
And that’s precisely why millions of readers keep returning to them.
