Escape the hustle and bustle of the holiday season with these cozy reads.
While the summertime is all about those beach reads, the winter is truly the best season to make time for books. Or make good use of all those extra dark hours by spending a bit of time with a book, and your blanket and escaping to another world. And nothing is better than reading the perfect novel while the snow is falling gently outside. Allowing the world outside to inspire your reading choices this season can help you feel more enlightened and connected to the season, instead of hibernating through it.
Here are 10 books that harness the power of winter, from romance to thrillers and even self-help, to get you through the season.
OK, here are a few more: Peter Hoeg's Smilla's Sense of Snow; Guterson Snow Falling on Cedars; Thursten Snow Drift; and HC Anderson, The Snow Queen.
