Great Books To Curl Up With This Winter
This winter, now that the holidays are over, the out of town guests have left, and the weather is cold, it’s the perfect time to fit that new book into your life, mind, and soul.
We have found a stellar list of books that are must reads, NOW, before they are adapted into a screenplay and shown in theaters for all to view. Being able to go into the story of your choosing, in a silent, personal, and fresh way (before Hollywood gets a hold of it), is a wonderful experience and something to take advantage of! Whether you’re one of those people who love a good book but say, “No thanks” to the movie, or you love to take them both in and compare and contrast the two, this list of books has something for everyone to enjoy! From trillers to romances, books based on true stories and science fiction novels, this list has it all and they all look truly amazing!
Be sure to take advantage of this cold weather, a cozy blanket and warm cup of tea, and find your happy place, even if it’s only 20 minutes a day. You’ll likely find these all in an audiobook, form, as well, so you can enjoy them on your way to work or anytime in you're in traffic. We hope you like the list as much as we do and enjoy your selection(s)!
