It’s almost Christmas and I’m more stressed than I thought I’d be, friends 🥲 Work has been insane at times and the wedding planning (and managing of people!!) has been less than stellar. All this to say it’s manifested into physiological anxiety symptoms this last few weeks with my heart that I fervently hope will go away (and stay away) soon.

This week’s TTT is about gift giving. I always found the kindness of absolute strangers but bonded through the love of reading is the most wonderful thing. I was fortunate enough to have experienced it once and it made my week.

I’m not feeling the best at the moment so I’ll post my Amazon wishlist here in case you wanted to take a look. Otherwise, here are the highlights of my list.

There are so many books I want to read this winter. I always think winter is a great time for reading because I’m not particularly fond of outdoor activities so it’s perfect for holing up inside all warm and cozy with a book.

Also, there are so many great reads coming out this winter that I don’t know what to prioritize: new releases or books I’ve been meaning to catch up on reading. I guess we shall see.

Here is the list of books I’m hoping to read this winter.

It’s been such a hectic month in my personal and work life. I even missed last week’s TTT which is a first in two years. But I’m back and ready to share this week’s prompt: those cozy reads!

When I think of cozy reads, I think of warm blankets, a cup of hot something (used to be tea but I can’t drink caffeine anymore so I guess it’s apple cider in my imagination now) and most importantly, a sense of peace.

However, this list was crafted in mind of my recent illness last month and being stuck in my room trying to get better but also wanting something to keep my mind off of being so sick. In such a mood, I tend to gravitate towards books that feature epic romances that make me feel instead of think too much. So a lot of these books are contemporary romances although there are some that are fantasies or historical books.

If you chase such feelings when reading a book, I hope you’ll enjoy this list!
