The Winter Reading Guide is here! ❄️
25 wintry titles to keep you cozy this season (plus a 1-page quick guide to holiday reads!).
Hello and happy December 21st!
I’m thrilled to share Winter Whimsy, my winter reading guide, with you today in honour of the winter solstice. As part of my ongoing quest to embrace all things seasonal, one of the highlights of my reading life in 2024 has been putting together these seasonal reading guides, particularly those that tend to get overlooked amidst the buzzier and more popular reading seasons.
In this guide, I’ve curated (mostly backlist) titles that are quintessentially wintry to me; many are quite literally set during the wintertime, with cold, snowy backdrops that embrace many of the season’s climactic themes. Others are less explicitly wintry, but touch on some of the season’s key themes of quietude, reflection, calm, and contemplation. Perhaps most importantly, I wanted this guide to be relevant all season long (not just for the holidays), so the five categories are organized thematically featuring titles you can enjoy well through the end of March.
I hope you enjoy the guide as much as I loved putting it together! Feel free to forward it along to a book-loving friend who you think might enjoy it—maybe even find something you’re both interested in and start a buddy read together. Winter is for long, cozy nights of reading and togetherness, after all.
Until next time,
This is fabulous!!!!!
This is such a great list with many new to me titles. I had just started to compile a post holiday winter TBR. What a gift!
