American Cozy: Hygge-Inspired Ways to Create Comfort Happiness

 American Cozy by Stephanie Pedersen 224 pages 

American Cozy is similar to "The Little Book of Hygge," with a slightly American spin on it. It is broken into sections such as clearing clutter, making your home more cozy, hosting, specials occasions, ect. She sprinkles in some interesting statistics that compliment her topics. The feel and design of the book is really what appeals to me most, it is just a lovely book to hold and look at. I think its a great easy light read going into the colder months.

American Cozy: Hygge Inspired Ways to Create Comfort and Happiness

American Cozy by Stephanie Pedersen 224 pages

This book brings the Danish concept of Hygge- which is loosely translated to "cozy," into the American over scheduled, overstuffed lifestyle. It is a way to make the bleak winter a little more tolerable by paying attention to little details that make us happy, like reading a book under a fuzzy blanket by a fire.

Some things I really enjoyed about this book such as certain ideas to add more coziness to your life. However, although I liked the authors ideas, I did not like the way she wrote them. She seemed pretentious to me, but it still overall was an enjoyable read.
