'A book that heals my heart while simultaneously destroying it' - any Fredrick Backman book but especially And every morning the way home gets longer and longer. I cry everytime because of how beautiful it is.
A fantasy winter and adventure book that feels whimsical is to me "The Enchanted Sonata", it's a Nutcracker retelling full of adventure, magic, the most beautiful dreamy atmosphere, cute romance, light but deep at the same time, and amazing enchanting settings ! It begins on Christmas eve as well ! I absolutely loved it ! It really reminded me of Half a soul in a way.
I love that so many of these are whimsical and cozy! I’d like to recommend The Dollmaker of Krakow, it has beautiful and whimsical writing especially in the beginning! It’s not really cozy though because it will break your heart
Another cozy baking book I’d recommend is Legends and Lattes. I also appreciate your review of Piranesi because I COULD NOT get into it or understand it and decided to DNF it, but will try again and stick with it.
I still havent read Six of Crows 🙈🙈. That was my plan this year but i was going to read Ruin and Rising, but then i got a very bad cold and it put me into a reading slump 😢. 2024 will be the year i read all of Leigh Bardugo's books ❤❤
I had a hard time with the lore and world and terminology in Six of Crows because I read it before the Shadow and Bone trilogy, but I definitely recommend it if you've read the trilogy (which does read much younger).
@holdenbeach4ever Back in Janaury I read Shadow and Bone, February I read Siege and Storm and then March I was going to read Ruin and Rising but then I had a cold and that was absolutely annoying. I was hoping 2023 will be the year that I would of completed the Grishaverse and I didn't do it. But 2024 will be the year that I complete the whole Grishaverse 👍👍
In a holidaze sounds so much like The christmas wish! Now I gotta get it for this year's christmas lol. So many of your recs peaked my interest, would love if you could do another video like this in the future!
You would love Winterspell by Claire Legrand because I know you love her books and it genuinely is one of the best YA fantasy and retellings I've ever read. It is a Nutcracker retelling and a dark ya romantasy so so good!!
The toy Makers gives off such Mr McGoriums Wonder Emporium. The shop is magical but there is so much of every emotion. It destroyed me and made me whole again. Definitely a winter read. I had it on my tbr from one of your videos and I was hoping for it to pop up on this one. It is a wonder of a book
🎅🏻 Love these seasonal rec. videos ! I’ve designated a bookcase/cabinet just for my seasonal TBR & have been enjoying immersing my monthly reads with such titles!
I had to take some off my list because you named them! Destroys and heals your heart - And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer by Fredrik Backman (warning: heavy on the heartbreak) Whimsical baking vibes - Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune Compelling adventures and hilarious characters - The Library of the Dead by TL Huchu (seriously this book is underrated) A one-sitting book - any of the Every Heart a Doorway books by Seanan McGuire Cozy Christmas read - The Princess Bride by William Golding Middle grade treasure: The Grave Thief by Dee Hahn A book for being snowed in: Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier Multi generational: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
A book that breaks my heart while healing it at the same time is "Go As A River" by Shelly Read. I recommend it to everyone! The story is about a singular woman's life and her resilience over the span of three decades. It's also partially based on a real-life event. I think everyone should read it.
'A book that just breaks your heart and destroys you' - any Kristin Hannah novel but I recently read and loved Night Road. Felt like a 100 punches in the gut.
Patroclus and Achilles prompt: In Memoriam by Alice Winn Amateur sleuth during winter: The Twelve Days of Murder by Andreina Cordani Book to read by the fireside: The Haunting Season (winter short stories by various authors including Bridget Collins and Laura Purcell)
Great video! I read the Toy Makers last Christmas. There were parts I enjoyed, the magic of the toys and the toy shop but there was a darkness/twist I wasn't expecting that left me feeling uneasy.
Narnia Vibes: The Misewa Saga by David Robertson. Canadian Indigenous author, the book is described as Narnia meets Indigenous folklore. It is middle grade. I have read the first 3, the 4th just recently came out. TW for foster care - the home the kids are in in the story is a good, safe home, but the children do struggle with being foster children and feeling abandoned by their families.
A Winters Promise (the whole series) has been on my shelves for years but I defo feel that whimsical description was enough to push me over the edge and prioritise it for this next year! Everyone’s talking about Emily Wilde defo need to bite the bullet and read it!!!✨
For the Polar Express prompt, The Christmas Pig, it's my favorite Christmas book still and it takes place Christmas Eve night. It's such a fun, heartwarming story and I highly recommend it.
Great Video Lexi and I’m actually reading Spinning Silver now so I’m going to pass you talking about it cause I don’t want spoilers Lol 😂 Have a Happy New Year & Did You Ever Finish Belladonna? & if you have you have to get the sequel Foxglove man it was so good 😊 and I’ve already preordered Wisteria for next year and girl the covers are gorgeous 😍😍 Happy Reading Lexi 📚📖📚🎅🏻
I really want to read Belladonna. It is on my tbr for the year 2024. But, I am hesitant to purchase it because I am unsure about it. Is it really good? Should I just buy it?
@@Iced.Coffee__ Yes I Highly Recommend You Do It’s My Favorite Book Of Last Year & The Sequel Foxglove was incredible as well and I can’t wait for Wisteria next year too And Also I highly recommend you pair Belladonna with the audiobook too and the same goes for Foxglove the narrator is phenomenal 😊
A book that I wish I could read for the first time again would be The Song of Achilles and Legends & Lattes. Oh and Padawan which is about Obi-Wan Kenobi where he goes on a mission alone to uncharted planet and learns about the people living there and uncovers a plot that causes trouble and has to save the planet. It’s really good
You would LOVE “Once Upon A Wardrobe” by Patti Callahan! If it doesn’t become one of your top 10 books ever I would be shocked. It reminds us of how much all form of art intertwines in our lives while a young boy learns from his sister how did Narnia comes about from her talking to C.S Lewis and trying to answer George’s one question. Stunning read
Okok first of all, I found your channel yesterday and am so glad I did and am now binging everything. You have such great recommendations and the way you describe things is so entertaining and engaging! Second: You give such Katie Thurston vibes, in the best way.
Another really good holiday romance that “feels like Christmas “ is, The plight before Christmas. That book was just a joy to read. I loved every minute.
OMG! LOVED WHITE OUT OBSESSED! Half a soul too loved it so much❄️☃️📚📚☃️❄️❄️🎅🏻🎅🏻📖📖📙❤️🎄💚❄️📚📚📚☃️📚📚🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻📖📙❤️🎁🎄🎄🎄💚☃️📚🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻📖📙❤️🎁🎁🎄🎄🎄💚☃️📚📚🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻📙❤️❤️🎁🎄🎄
Not super wintery but a beautifully charming book about a bookshop owner called Days at the Morisaki Bookshop. It’s a translated work from Japanese author Satoshi Yagisawa about a girl recovering from a break up, who runs away from her city life to her uncles bookshop in Jimbocho, Tokyo’s famous book district. The neighborhood is so charming and the characters are all so warm and quirky. Super healing read.
The secret society of irregular witches series is so fun and funny ..i highly recommend the series. The other book that's just really written well and will make you feel is Midnight at blackbird cafe..worth the read. Also the Cottage Tale mystery series by Susan wittag albeit is cozy mystery that is about Beatrix Potter and there is a side mystery going on with her animals..perfect.
🎅🎅🎅 antoher book with a villain MC: the graphic novel Nimona by Nicolle Stevenson, another book set in winter that feels like a warm hug: Whichwood by Tahereh Mafi ❣
🎅 been waiting for a video from you, yay! The Winter People is a great read for January, I gave it five stars. It’s sort of a creepy but fantastical story I really enjoyed reading slowly. Great video! 🎅
I just read and LOVED The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Brontë Mettlestone. Try the Secret of Lillian Velvet by the same author in the same world.
🎅 Lexie! I’m hoping to join the foxenwood society this year 😍 I watched some reading sprint videos from your previous years and I need more of that! Live would be so much fun so I think I have to for 2024 🥰
🎅All your videos are so heartwarming and cozy, Lexi. I eagerly wait for you to drop a video every day💜. Also, if you are snowed in and want to read a book with similar vibes which is also a thriller, then you should read No Exit by Taylor Adams. I haven't read it yet, but I have heard amazing things about it. It is on my January tbr. Happy Reading! 🥰
I've been wanting to reread Mrs Mike (listed as YA). Young Irish immigrant, moves from Boston to an area of Canadian wilderness in the early 1900's. She marries a Mountie and it tells about their love and hardships of those times. (real people but authors did fictionalized some of the story!)
Edit - note to self, watch the whole video before commenting haha. Another great wintery amateur detective book is 'Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone'. Not Christmassy because it's set in Australia and our winter is obviously in June, but features snow, murders and a messy family dynamic! It also has the most unique prose style and refers often to the rules of writing a detective story.
@@alexandraroselyn can't wait for you to read this one! I loved it so much, but it seemed to be polarising on Goodreads. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! ☺️

a book that you can read in one sitting THe Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese...amature sluth The Family Game by Catherine Steadman... I loved The Afterlife of Holly Chase... another book similar to assistant to the villian would be The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers.... Lovely librarian The last Bookshop in London byMadeline Martin....
I will die on this hill. ALEXANDRA ROSELYN and all lovers of anything whimsical need to read The Beacon Bakeshop Mysteries. Can read as stand alones or the whole series. Murder at the Christmas Cookie Bake Off would answer several of these prompts. All spooky and Halloween lovers would love Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant.
Something to do with two star crossed lovers who've loved each other for centuries and find each other again in different bodies and reignite their love. I don't know if there is even a book for this prompt

I cannot wait to read the Encyclopedia of Faeries. Everyone always says such good things.
So cozy!❤
The Christmas Guest is SO good. A really good mystery with a surprising twist. Loved it.
I love that so many of these are whimsical and cozy! I’d like to recommend The Dollmaker of Krakow, it has beautiful and whimsical writing especially in the beginning! It’s not really cozy though because it will break your heart

'A book to read after a reading slump' - Iona Iverson's rules for commuting. It's a multi pov wholesome book, very fast paced and hilarious.

A book for being snowed in: Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

I would read the appeal first before the christmas appeal. The christmas appeal refers back to stuff that happened in the appeal
You are one of the FIRST booktubers I’ve seen talk about A Winters Promise and I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THE WHOLE SERIES.
Except the last book though because that ending….😭😭😭

4:52 a book with adventure and comedy, I'd recommend That time I got drunk and saved a demon 😈
YES!!!!
Patroclus and Achilles prompt: In Memoriam by Alice Winn
Amateur sleuth during winter: The Twelve Days of Murder by Andreina Cordani

Paper Palace gave me similar vibes
The great alone by Kristin Hannah and Beach music by Pat Conroy.

So many books I want to read! 😍🎅📚
Apart from Piranesi... I didn't like it! 😱 I know! 😂
Happy holidays! 🎅
I read Spinning Silver last week, really enjoyed it, I now get why its on pretty much every Winter book recommendations 😅

3:03 I would recommend I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
The Drift by CJ Tudor for snowy cold thriller - I read it last year during a snow storm (I’m in Vermont) and it was perfect for those few days.
Destroys and heals your heart at the same time - Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross!
I'm going to read Six of Crows. Thanks for doing what do. 🎅
Ooo! Cynthia Hand! I loved My Lady Jane!!

I've been wanting to reread Mrs Mike (listed as YA). Young Irish immigrant, moves from Boston to an area of Canadian wilderness in the early 1900's. She marries a Mountie and it tells about their love and hardships of those times. (real people but authors did fictionalized some of the story!)
Edit - note to self, watch the whole video before commenting haha.
Another great wintery amateur detective book is 'Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone'. Not Christmassy because it's set in Australia and our winter is obviously in June, but features snow, murders and a messy family dynamic! It also has the most unique prose style and refers often to the rules of writing a detective story.
