Winter Reading List

December 2, 2024

How is it almost 2025? This feels absolutely crazy. Just last week I wrote 2023 on something, how am I supposed to start writing 2025?!

There is a lot of reading that I want to get done this season. I am not a huge fan of winter, but I am trying to be. All my life I have struggled a lot with seasonal depression, but college, and the years after, it feels like it has gotten much worse. This year, I am trying to take back winter by making my list so full of fun things to do, there is nothing I can do but be excited for the books I am going to read, and the adventures I am going to go on (which I will make a list of in another blog post, this one is just for the reading side of the winter).

Without further ado, here is the starter list of books I would like to read this winter. It is going to be long, but again, I want to jam pack my winter with fun reads so there are plenty of things to look forward to. I know I will not complete all of these, I never do, but this is a start!

• Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan

• The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss

• Let it Snow by John Green, Lauren Myracle and Maureen Johnson

• Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

• A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft

• Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft (this is to be published in February of 2025, so we’ll see if I am able to get my hands on it)

• We are the Song by Catherine Bakewell

• The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

• A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross

• The Sunbeam Trials by Aiden Thomas

• Love You Always by Lauren Lacey

• To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang

• The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore

• Just Like Magic by Sarah Hogle

Honestly, I am so excited about these books, and I really have a feeling I have my new favorite book in this list. Here is to a winter filled with hot tea, great books, buckets of popcorn and lots and lots of snow.
