The early falling sun entrenches the day into darkness. The wind howls outside as the rain continues to knock against the window. All of these are signals of winter, the perfect season to curl up in bed and read books. Here are five books to read this winter.
1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
As a person who resides on the internet, the style of the book reminds me of home. It features stories from two planes: the book's universe itself and the online world of the book’s universe. Plus, a side protagonist has the same name as the frozen ice that decorates the ground in this cold season.
2. Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle
This book contains three heart-warming tales that go perfect with hot chocolate
3. My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories by Stephanie Perkins, Holly Black, Ally Carter, Matt de la Pena, Gayle Forman, Jenny Han, David Levithan, Kelly Link, Myra McEntire, Rainbow Rowell, Laini Taylor, and Kiersten White
This reflects twelve days of Christmas in three hundred and twenty pages.
4. Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
Unlike the earlier listed books, this book is an emotionally heavy read. I would recommend this with some milk sugar cookies on the side.
5. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Want to emotionally bond with someone and not sure how to? This book will be the perfect icebreaker for that. Literally, you will both experience emotional highs and lows and be left with wanting more.
