“In the winter she curls up around a good book and dreams away the cold.”―Ben Aaronovitch, Broken Homes. Here are 10 reasons why winter reading is the best kind of reading.

1. Your TBR list still includes many new fall selections, which you will enjoy during long winter nights.

2. Snow is falling, books are calling.

3. Because hot chocolate and books go well together.

4. And fireplaces.

5. Warm beds too.

6. Christmas Break vacation! What better way to enjoy your free days than with a good book.

7. Had a little too much holiday cheer? Take a break from Rudolph with a good book.

8. Winter is a time of hibernation and reflection. What better time of year to enjoy reading a classic or re-reading an old favorite.

9. No plans for New Year’s Eve? No problem. Your book will help you bring in the new year.

10. A new year marks a new start, not to mention a new selection of books to read!
