Only 30 days until Spring, which I am yearning for and at the same time, winter’s comforts— cozy nights in, warming soups and chilis and stews, extra time on the couch with a book— have yet to lose their charm.

It is still Billy Crystal sweater season.

These 15 books are not set in winter, but they feel like winter’s best qualities! Best read beneath a blanket with a cup of tea in hand: these are some of the books on my shelf that conjure up feelings of coziness, slight shivers down the spine, visions of a soft snowfall, and deep rest or hibernation.
