Okay soo... I can go a lot of ways with this.. if you want truly cozy, i.e lighter, comedic.. maybe I am not your best recommender, haha.
Or pls define cozy and I can try my best.
Here's some I enjoyed. Darker, perhaps or maybe typical, but here ya go regardless:
The Silent Patient- Alex Michaelides .. maybe a more well known suggestion.. if you were cool with Gone Girl, etc. still good.
Night Film: A Novel - Marisha Pessl .. dark creepy thriller. Good if you are a fan of horror films/general weirdness.
Dept. Q series - Jussi Adler-Olsen ... Nordic(ish) mystery . Cold cases. Some darker than others. Also have been made into films.
7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - Stuart Turton...more Agatha Christie vibe. Like an escape room, in book form.
I've got more, haha. Lmk.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I donβt feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre β and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background β come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnβt exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and itβs even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

Like this former ice house/band practice space/storage unit/ no idea there was so much random stuff ... It has had many lives and will have many more. Grand Rapids is more interesting than it appears. Placemaking. Exhibition. Activation. Art and community and connection. Here we go.
