Pull Up a Chair & Stay Awhile

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

The Cozy Reading Corner is a podcast created for readers who believe that books are more than stories—they're a place to escape, unwind, and find a little comfort in the middle of everyday life.

Each episode is an invitation to slow down, pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, settle into your favorite reading spot, and join me for conversations about books, reading, and the cozy moments that make life feel a little brighter. Whether we're talking about cozy mysteries, sharing seasonal reading recommendations, exploring why we return to our favorite comfort reads, or celebrating the traditions that make each season special, every episode is designed to leave you feeling inspired to spend a little more time with a good book.

I'm Debra Sennefelder, an author of cozy mysteries and a lifelong reader. I write the Food Blogger Mystery, Resale Boutique Mystery, and Spirits in the Library Mystery series—stories filled with charming communities, memorable characters, and puzzles waiting to be solved. My love of books began long before I became a writer, and it has only grown stronger through the years. Writing mysteries has given me the opportunity to create worlds readers can escape into, but this podcast gives me the chance to step out from behind the pages and share the conversations I wish I could have with fellow book lovers over coffee.

The Cozy Reading Corner isn't a book review show, and it's not just about the newest releases. It's about celebrating a cozy reading life. It's about discovering stories that stay with us, creating simple reading rituals, embracing the changing seasons, and finding joy in the little moments that surround the books we love.

If you've ever looked forward to a quiet afternoon with a mystery novel, found comfort in revisiting a favorite series, or believed there's no such thing as too many books on your nightstand, you've found your people.

So grab your current read, get comfortable, and stay awhile. I'm delighted you're here.

Happy reading,

Debra Sennefelder
