Agatha Christie:
(mostly ‘c’)
You are all about the cozy but really, you just need a book in your hand. You spend time curled up under your favorite warm blanket, a furry friend on your lap, a cup of tea at your side, reading well past your bedtime. For you, there’s no such thing as too many cozies.
Nancy Drew:
(pretty even between ‘b’ & ‘c’)
You love a mysterious read with an unexpected sleuth as the main character. You love to read, period. Books, books, books. As much as you love cozies, you’re happy to explore beyond the genre.
Hardy Boy:
(mostly ‘b’)
Following clues leads you to your happy place. Mysteries are fun. Reading is fun. Putting the two together is double the fun. When you can find time for it. When you do manage to get some quiet time with a book, it doesn’t have to be a cozy but you wouldn’t turn one down.
Amateur Sleuth:
(mostly ‘a’)
You like books as much as the next person but you’re new to this mysterious cozy scene. Reading isn’t something you eek a lot of time out for but when you do, mystery is as good a pick as any other.
Well? What did you get? Is it accurate? If not, hopefully it was fun.
