Cozy Winter Reading: Tips & Book Recommendations

0

A woman reading cozy in her bed. From as early as I can remember, I have loved to read. My mom often reminds me that a library or bookstore were my favorite places to go when I was little. There’s just something about books that I find magical. It’s such a privilege to get to read!    

What better time to get cozy and escape into a book than during this long, cold winter? As a mom, it can be hard to find time to read, but it’s important to make time for yourself. Bonus points for reading in a space your kids can see you, and you can set an example for them.  

Here are a few tips for cozy winter reading.

  • Find a comfortable spot to read. Whether it’s your favorite armchair, the couch, or even your bed, make sure you have a cozy place to read where you can relax and enjoy your book.
  • Set aside some time each day to read. Even if it’s just for 15 minutes, make reading a part of your daily routine.
  • Choose a book that you’re interested in. There’s nothing worse than trying to read a book that you’re not enjoying. If you’re unsure what to read, ask your friends or family for recommendations or check out the bestseller lists. I often find my next read from Reese’s Book Club.  
  • Create the perfect atmosphere. Make a cup of tea or coffee and grab a cozy blanket.
  • Silence your tech. Turn off your phone and other distractions to focus on your book.
  • Enjoy the experience! Reading is a great way to relax and escape from the everyday stresses of life.

I compiled a list of book recommendations from the women in my very trusted book club, aptly named “Wines and Spines.” Here’s what we’re reading.

What’s on your list? How do you get cozy for reading?
