Cozy mystery new releases for November! We’re heading fast into the holiday period so there are lots of reasons to buy books – to cozy up during the holidays, to give as gifts (for yourself and for others), or… just because? I hope you find something fun to add to your TBR (check out all the upcoming holiday cozies)!
I only include new release titles I find on NetGalley, in author/publisher newsletters or Instagram accounts, or from emails/DMs from the authors. This method means I probably leave out many great books (sorry!) but it saves me a lot of time doing it this way, so I hope you’ll understand.
If you have a book coming out and want to be included, reach me on social media (@bookfrolic on Instagram or Bluesky) or via email at stephanie@bookfrolic.com. If you spot any cozy mysteries that were left out of my list, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll update the post!
Leave a comment and let me know which books you’ll be reaching for this month!
