    The bear and the nightingale is the most perfect book for the winter time

    Currently reading little women and I’m loving every second of it! I’m roughly 100 pages in and it’s perfect for a cozy, winter read so far!

    Little Women is my absolute all time favorite book. I think I was 12 when I first read it. I read it every 2 yrs. Not necessarily at Christmas. Lisa May Alcott lived in the town (Concord) which is next to the town I grew up in; Lexington, Mass. I have been in her house soooo many times I could be the tour guide. I read A Christmas Carol every other Christmas. I read A great book last Christmas that I will always keeps Red bird Christmas by Fannie Flagg. First time I have watched your channel. Thanks!

    I love your videos so much! I feel like a could curl up with fuzzy socks and a warm blanket by the fireplace just to watch your videos.
    I really enjoy your book recommendations and how you describe them with so much warmth and love.
    I’ve noted some of these down so I can check them out this Christmas season. 💖

  • @margolindner3952
    @margolindner3952 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Serendipity is a staple every holiday season for me. And I really enjoyed In A Holidaze last year. I’m currently reading The Holiday Swap and having such a good time with it!

  • @tinahawley09
    @tinahawley09 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Omg yes girl! Holidaze was a 5 star for me too! I read it last month and had all the feels!

    @rockyj885 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you for yet another awesome recommendations video! Before the end of the video, I bought Murder for Christmas on my kindle and borrowed Greenglass House from my library (and yes, my December TBR is crying right now...) I just read a Christmas Carol last week, listened to the audiobook which was read by Hugh Grant and I might make it a Christmas tradition to listen to it, honestly. As for Christmas book recommendations, if you like Christmas with the Kranks, I highly recommend the book it was based on, Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. It's quick, fun and full of haha moments 🔥🔥🔥

  • @sammibowden3164
    @sammibowden3164 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I’ve been wanting to recommend this book to you for the longest time. You may have already read it because I picked up after Darling Desi recommended it. It’s called “Winter Solstice.” It’s about five people who’s lives all kind of kind of intertwine somehow and they all end up in a cabin/cottage somewhere during the Holiday season. I really enjoyed it and thought it was very homey, warm and a perfect read for “by the fire.”

  • @monicamoskovics8686
    @monicamoskovics8686 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have read several of those and wholeheartedly agree (Little Women, A Winter's Promise and Murder on the Orient Express are all excellent recommendations!) I am going to read a Curse so Dark and Lonely and Essex Serpent this winter - they seem like they are good cold weather books and at least Essex Serpent opens around Jan 1... so maybe it is a good one to pick up after the New Year. :)

    LOVED Greenglass House and the sequel Ghosts of Greenglass House!!! Would highly recommend. I would also recommend the Winterhouse series. It is a middle grade trilogy set in a hotel in a very wintry place. I enjoyed all three of them. Also, I just finished Even the Darkest Stars, and ordered the sequel. Very wintry mountain climbing setting.

    So I’m an avid reader, but I’m also not someone who *binges* books very often (I’ll read a little bit each day) anyway.. I got Greenglass House right after your last recommendation and in 2 days I was almost done and SAD about it. I recommended it to so many people because it’s SOO GOOD. And it made me watch this video because I NEED MORE.

    I would add Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" - delightful short story.
    Also, have you read any Miss Read books? They are quintessentially English, set in cosy, quaint villages. "A Country Christmas", " The White Robin", "The Christmas Mouse" and many more are an absolute delight. 🎄🎄🎄
