Boring, annoying, and cliched, I just couldn't finish it. Also, it was a bit condescending and it seemed to me that he was making fun of cozy mysteries, just not in a light-hearted way.

An amazing feel good family film. Great to watch near Christmas and no doubt it is always on around this time. Full of joy and has you singing along to the songs feeling cozy and warm

Mystery Thriller, Cozy Rules
The House on Crow Mountain is probably the most uncozy-like cozy I have ever read. Don’t get me wrong it totally adheres to all the cozy rules; no graphic language, sex, or violence. It also follows the popular cozy tropes; a small town, a broken-hearted woman who returns home to make a new start, clever pets, etc. It is just I consider cozy to be a light afternoon read. More fluff than serious. I mean no disrespect to the books and authors I have read to date, some are among my all-time favorites.
This book from the first sentence to the last pulled me into a hard mystery thriller that just happened to follow cozy rules. It has everything; gripping suspense, a leading lady wracked with grief and guilt, and a possible love interest trying to redeem himself from a tragic mistake, or was it? There are far-reaching family secrets, menacing red herrings, and a sinister plot. There was no guessing whodunnit before the reveal. I really (I mean really) did not like the person, but there were so many other people to not like, to suspect, to think about that it barely registered. I could not put this book down as the story unfolded and the floating, maybe relevant plotlines merged bringing the story to its climax.
I seriously hope for this to be a series as there are characters that I would love to learn more about, but I tell you, I would be okay with this being a one-off. The story as it stands has mostly been told and it is that good.

Fun, cozy, casual game
This was a very simple to learn, sometimes funny, sometimes weird, casual and cozy game. I'd compare it to Katamari, but instead of rolling up a big ball, you're sucking objects into a hole, which gets larger the more it collects. There is a bit of a puzzle aspect to it, and the story is really fun. These kinds of games are super satisfying to me! I played this recently using Xbox Gamepass so it may still be available on there. I just wish it were a bit longer, but otherwise I was impressed.
