What Are You Reading?

WHAT AM I READING? 

At the moment, I'm reading The Season of Persuasion, Book Six in the Shadow of London series by K. M. Roy.

I may be a little biased, but this is by far my favorite book in the series. Revisiting it as a reader has reminded me why I fell in love with these characters and their world in the first place. There are moments that still surprise me, favorite scenes I find myself lingering over, and characters who feel like old friends every time I turn the page.

One of the joys of being an author is getting to experience a story twice, first as the writer who created it and then as the reader who gets lost in it all over again.

Here at Cozy Reads, I'll be sharing the books on my nightstand, stories that inspire me, and occasional glimpses into my own writing journey. Whether you're looking for your next great read or simply a cozy place to talk books, you've found your spot.

So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let's talk books.

🍯 Confession Corner: Show Me Your Bathroom Bodyguards

I’ve always been an open book, so I don’t have many confessions left to make.  

But I do have one oddly specific admission:

Since becoming a mom at 20, I have not gone to the bathroom alone.  

Not once.  

Not for a single uninterrupted moment.

If it wasn’t a toddler wandering in to chat, it was a kid sitting on the edge of the tub to tell me a story. And now that my kids are older?

My dogs have proudly taken over the tradition.

I’m 47, and apparently the bathroom is still the most popular room in the house.

So today, I want to see if I’m alone in this… or if this is just universal mom life.

📸 Submit Your Photo: Who Guards Your Bathroom?

Do your pets follow you into the bathroom like it’s their job?  

Do they sit. Stare. Supervise. Judge.  

Do they push the door open like they pay the mortgage?

---

Drop a picture in the comments of your dog, cat, or other furry friend who refuses to let you pee in peace.

Funny, cute, chaotic — all welcome.

I’ll feature a few of my favorites in a follow‑up post called  

“Bathroom Bodyguards: A Gallery of Uninvited Guests.”

Because if we can’t laugh about this stage of life, what are we even doing?
