Cozy Science Fiction and Fantasy

January 12th is Hot Tea Day! Celebrate with a science fiction or fantasy novel with a "cozy feeling". Less (but not always no) saving the world, more sipping tea in the Shire. The vibe is light, the endings are happy, and and if violence occurs it's rarely graphic and the romance is often sweet. #IndyPLAdults
