My Favorite Cozy Winter Reads

This post may contain affiliate links. I only recommend products that I’ve tried and love!

I can’t tell if it’s because Thanksgiving was late this year, or I’m just behind, but I can’t wrap my mind around Christmas being two weeks away. I think I should have at least three weeks until then.

But alas, here we are, barely two weeks from Christmas, and about a week until the start of winter. And it is COLD this morning.

I’m starting to love winter a bit more each year, as it kicks off with Christmas, and then gives us all a season of cozy blankets, warm soups, curling up with a cup of cocoa or hot tea, and time to rest.

One of my favorite ways to unwind is with a good book, and I’ve been missing reading lately, as my free time this semester was eaten up by homework - yuck.

However, I’m back into another excellent novel by Kate Quinn (she’s one of my favorites), and today, I’m sharing with you a handful of my favorite cozy winter books (or ones I’m planning to read this winter). Most are not Christmas-themed, so they can be enjoyed after the holiday. Happy reading!
