Basically the title. I always feel like winter is a nice season for cosy reading, curious to see your suggestions
The Shining
Edit: Beartown is also very chilly, I might relisten to that while the weather is bad
The vampire Academy series is my guilty pleasure, usually with lots of hot choccy milk.
Otherwise, not a big re-reader but winter’s more about cozy mysteries and cute romances. I keep the gripping memoirs, gruesome crimes, high fantasy or sci-fi and very smart nonfiction for other times.
Anything by Dostoevsky is so “wintery”, probably Russian lit in general.
Not necessarily literal winter, but when i need something cozy and comforting, maybe somewhat meditative, I always turn towards The Lord of the Rings. All the characters are so pure, and simple, the story is pretty, beautiful and calming, the evil so obviously evil. And the language, while maybe dry, is soothing and takes a lot from oral tales. It all makes for a comfort read.
Good one, it definitely fits that role
At any time, really…
The Fuzzy novels by H. Beam Piper
The Cemetery of Forgotten Books by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Into the Heart of Borneo and In Trouble Again by Redmond O’HanlonPG Wodehouse… just feel good and have the occasional laughing fit.
