Find these reads among the swirls of snow dust between dense evergreens trees, under the bright moonlight scattering across a frozen forest, and at the hearth of a warm cottage, providing shelter through a quiet blizzard. These are magical and often folklore-inspired stories for those long winter days.

Short fantasy and sci-fi books under 200 pages. Novellas and bite-sized adventures for those looking for something fast. (Absolutely not because I'm trying to squeeze some short books in before the end of the year.)

Books under 250 pages

wintry, whimsical and cosy reads for the colder seasons ❆

Because who doesn’t love birds?? Fiction and non-fiction books all featuring birds prominently on the cover. This is what I spend my time thinking about 😭

Fiction books that outright tackle misogyny, or have feminist undertones. For every reader out there who's tired of being met with toxic/misogynist behaviour in stories that is presented as acceptable, or even romantic, and those who want to learn about the female perspective. (For more horrory books, see my list "Feminist Horror", for YA, see my list "Feminist YA".)

books i have read or want to read that give me winter vibes.
