Book Recs: Winter Reads our Bookish Community Loves

Last week I asked the community to share some of their favorite winter reads they seem to reach for each year. For a long time I would re-read all of Harry Potter, LOTR, and The Chronicles of Narnia each winter. But with so many new books coming out that I want to read, and keeping up with the latest Booktok recommendations, I haven’t done a ton of rereads in the past few years. So I was curious, what are the cozy reads you reach for during the winter months? Some of the answers I got back weren’t exactly “cozy”, but hey, I’m being true to the community and sharing your faves. Here’s what you all had to say:
