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

Anything by Dostoevsky is so “wintery”, probably Russian lit in general.

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.

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.

PG Wodehouse… just feel good and have the occasional laughing fit.
