All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot
5.0
I feel like an idiot, you guys.
1. All Things Great and Small is a (newer) classic.
2. It's set in England.
3. It's the definition of cozy.
In short, it's a totally "me" book. And yet it has sat on my shelf for years and years because I had assumed it might be kind of cheesy. I was blissfully wrong, friends. In fact, I was quite unprepared for how much I would love this book. All Things Great and Small was purely delightful and "feel good", and I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud while reading of the adventures and misadventures of an English countryside veterinarian. For anyone looking for the perfect cozy read, this is not only perfect for this time of year, but it just so happens that a new BBC adaptation premiers next month (at least here in the U.S.), so the timing is spot on.
