I hate cold weather.
And that’s a fact. Even though it doesn’t even snow where I am. But, it’s getting colder here, and I’d figure I’d do this tag because it’s seasonal and sounds fun!

Questions:
⛄ Snow Day – What’s your “comfort” book?
To be honest, I almost never reread books. But one of the books I do reread is Geekerella by Ashley Poston! I love so many things about this book–the characters, the storyline, the romance, and everything else. I’ve read (and reread) this book a few times, and every single time I read it, it always manages to make me cry (I’m soft, okay).
😇 Snow Angels – What’s a book that you love so much you would want to be buried with it (a little morid, but…)?
I’d probably have to choose The Weight of the Stars for this one. I literally finished this one yesterday, but I loved it so much (read it!! you won’t regret it). There’s sapphics, space, and one of the best cast of characters I’ve ever read about! I laughed, I cried, and then I had my heart broken 🥺 Thank you, K. Ancrum, for doing this to me.
Read my screaming about this book here!
🧦 Warm Socks – What’s a book that makes you feel warm inside? (The fluffiest, cutest romance you’ve ever read?)
The Boy Who Steals Houses!! One of my all-time favorites! There were some dark parts, but Sam and Moxie’s romance was just so cute!! The serotonin AHHHHH.
☕ Hot Cocoa – What winter-themed novels have you previously read?
I don’t do seasonal reading, and I haven’t read a winter-themed novel in… a while 😳 (either that or I don’t remember it). So, I’d have to go with Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones. I read this about two years ago, and I loved the atmospheric writing, but it was about average for me.
🛷 Sledding – What’s a book with the best plot twists? Who’s an author that always keeps you on your toes?
This definitely has to be The Poppy War trilogy by RF Kuang. I was hooked from the very beginning, and it didn’t let me go. I’m now on The Dragon Republic, and it’s so. good!! I have no doubts that this will completely destroy me.
🧥 Ugly Sweaters – What’s a book with the ugliest cover?
Please, why. I don’t want to download this ugly cover into my media library (I didn’t have to, I copy and pasted it!).
And the winner of the Year’s Ugliest Cover goes to Midnight Sun! I haven’t read Twilight yet, but as the next book in the series comes out, the covers keep getting uglier and uglier. And someone please tell me how a (rotting?) pomegranate is supposed to be aesthetic?? And I’ve heard so many bad things about this series, so an instant no from me!!
🎥 Movie Marathon – What’s the last book you binge read?
I’m trying not to put the same books, so I’m going to go with Warcross by Marie Lu. The first book I read in a whole afternoon, but the second book took me much longer (a few days). I’m not usually a fan of virtual reality/video games in books, but I loved this one!
🎅 Letter to Santa – What’s a book that’s on your wishlist this year?
Of course it had to be These Violent Delights. Even though there are so many books being released, I’ve been waiting for this forever. 1920’s Shanghai! Gangs! A monster! And there’s a mostly Asian cast–I NEED IT.

LOL i’ve got mixed feelings about cold weather – i get cold pretty easily but i also love getting to wear sweaters and how crisp the air can be…but not so much shivering under my blankets in the morning. ooh i agree that the poppy war has great plot twists – i 10/10 couldn’t predict anything that happened.
