Instantly clicked on this video and omg, you, your mug, the decorations, the ambiance 😍👌🏻 Also I literally just filmed this same video yesterday 🙈 I cannot wait to hear what you recommend! Your recs are always absolutely perfect ✨ Edit: Ahhh Lexi such amazing recommendations!! And Castle In The Clouds is SO good!!
Oh I just bought 2 books from one of your recommendation videos too- it was A Winters Tale and A Snow Child!! I can’t wait to see what else you recommend!
Recently, I subscribed to your channel, and I have to say that I am finding myself looking forward to your videos. Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious. I love your book recommendations, as well!
Just recently found your channel, and truly love your combination of books and coziness. You're my new BookTube favourite channel! I live about 40 minutes away from Edinburgh, so very amused to hear you say you want to live there! We've got snow and ice here in southern Scotland at the moment so definitely enjoying some cozy book recommendations! Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you for the cozy reads. Your lighting is amazing! The lights in the bookshelf holding your older books makes it look like a window. Plus, your green book tree is the bomb. Lovely library decor!
You have to read The Vanderbeekers on 141 street! It’s a middle grade series. It takes place the week of Xmas and will make you cry many happy tears! I loved it. Definitely a quick read. I read it in one day.
I've read castle in the clouds multiple time (in German) and I absolutely adore it. I hope you will also fall in love with the settings and the characters!
I just finished The Light Between Worlds and it was great! It is very deep and deals with serious issues, but its also beautifully written! I hope you enjoy it!
Omg the background, the ambiance - this is like a zoom meeting background to absolute perfection. For a moment I was like - is that real?! The Bear and the Nightingale has been on my TBR for so long, nice to see it on a cozy reads list :)
So many brilliant recommendations! I've just finished The Bear and the Nightingale and loved it so much! Also LOVING your festive background in this video! x
Obsessed with your video intro. It's just the most magical thing! My fave winter reads are A Christmas Carol, Little Women, and The Bear and the Nightingale for sure (btw it's Vasilisa, not Vasilia, but you can just call her Vasya lol). And I've become obsessed with the Irish Cream Cold Brew, sincere thank you for that haha
I think that The Wolf Wilder is a great middle grade read for the winter. I also really enjoyed Winterspell by Claire Legrand. On my cozy list for this winter is Elatsoe.
Ahhhhh such great choices! I recommended a bunch of these in my snow day reads tag a few weeks ago❄️The Hunting Party was a fun read, can’t wait to hear your thoughts! I didn’t know you wanted to move to Scotland, but hey, me too! I just applied to grad school in Glasgow, lol 😂

I need to rewatch The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe movie! It’s such a perfect winter movie. Also, A Castle in the Clouds is on my winter reading list too!
I just finished In a Holidaze recently and it is seriously one of my all time favorite holiday reads I have ever read before! It would be THE PERFECTTTTTT Hallmark movie ever! I never really knew much about The Crown's Game before despite seeing it all over Instagram hahaha, but that sounds SO GOOD! I knew you would have the best cozy, winter recommendations!!
I tried so hard to get into A Wild Winter Swan. I got it as an arc. I didn't make it past 30 pages. I am going to try again soon. It may have just been my mood. Can't wait until I see how you feel about it. I do agree the cover is what got me. I really wanted to read it for Christmas, but I'm not sure I will get to it.
I feel you on the whole 'Winter is perfect for reading Russian fiction' thing. I have a couple of Russian historical fiction books that I read last year that I kinda want to read again this year just because it fits. I am not sure if you like historical fiction, but the books are The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great by Eva Stachniak and Witches of St. Petersburg by Imogen Edwards-Jones. But I like a lot of the books that you mentioned and hopefully, I can read them this winter season!
I’m ready for these recommendations 💜💜💜 it is a cute mug!! Starting with Lewis nice!! I looovvveeee greenglass house!! Those tabs in the bear and the nightingale 💜💜💜I still need to read spinning silver. Love a Narnia and it might circus vibe!! AYYYYY I think you’ll love little women.
If you liked Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver, just making sure you know about her other stand alone fairy tale retelling, Uprooted. And if you like these books, Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth reads in a similar style. It's a retelling of Rapunzel.
I think you can do little women in one day! That edition has quite large font but as a regular trade paperback its only about 300ish pages. It does only have book 1 in it though (some have 1 and 2 in one) and I'm not sure if the movie is based only on book 1 or not as lots of people consider 1&2 together as the first book. I actually found goodreads because of little women! I was so confused about what I had and hadn't read!!
Like you, I love to read Greenglass House every December! This year, Im going to read the second one, Ghosts of Greenglass House. So far, its just as cozy and mysterious as the first.
"Little Women" and "The Chronicle of Narnia" are my favorite books from when I was a kid. "Little Women" is also on my xmas TBR. Since watching your blogs, I have added quite a few titles to my neverending list of must-have books. Kinda blaming you...not really 😄 thank you. You inspired me to grow my small collection of my Middle-Grade books; just bought the omnibus of "The Chronicle of Narnia" this month. Thank you. Stay safe and well.
I really can recommend you « Once upon a river » by Diane Setterfield, it gives me whimsical tales and reminds me a lot of Spinning silver! It is set up in an inn in the winter time and has the Grimm tales vibes, love it! ✨
Ohh!! Lexi I’ve been racking my brain what the name of the hunting party is! I remember you mentioning it a while back but couldn’t remember her what it was called
i’m sure you’d love the ruby red trilogy by kerstin gier as well. it’s ya, involves time travel and is set in london ✨ the main protagonist is called gwendolyn in the original, but for some reasons they renamed her gwenyth in the english translation 🧐
I normally read A Christmas Carol 🎶❄️ on the 24th. Out of the books recs of books you’ve already read- which would you say to read if I only have time for one?! (I’ve read Narnia series already 🤓)
I highly recommend the book “Trouble with Trolls” by Jan Brett. It’s a picture book with gorgeous illustrations and a sweet storyline. It was my favorite winter book as a kid.
I am the biggest fan of "The Box of Delights" by John Masefield! Very Christmassy and wintry, with a little bit of fantasy and adventure as well. I read it every year in the twelve days leading up to Christmas Eve.
Oh my gosh, just got the Irish cold brew from Sbux off your last rec and it is SO SO good!! Trying to think of some winters recs: Misery (horror) One by One (suspense) Ones that I am ABOUT to read, but can’t rec yet: Christmas Dinner of Souls (MG) Link by Link: A Haunted Anthology (YA) The Bleak House (classic) I’ll try and think of more once the caffeine hits! LOVE YOU! 💜💛💚
I also love The Chronicles of Narnia and am currently reading Little Women. I wanted to suggest Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige, it is so good and I think there is a sequel coming out as well.
Hi Lexi. I wanted to give you a recommendation in case you haven't read this cute series. Its by Matt Haig. It's middle grade and Christmas themed. The first book is called A Boy Called Christmas, the second is called The Girl Who Saved Christmas, and the third is called Father Christmas And Me. So super cute! I hope your Christmas was wonderful, and I hope you are felling better! Your channel is one of my favorites!
i am not good at english, i am korean. i am watching your video many times because of the shadowing. it is a fun and very useful video! thanks! it really help me speaking practice!.
ah i love "little monsters" by kara thomas. it's the best thriller for me to read during the winter because while it's definitely not a light read, the author does such a good job with setting the cold atmosphere and cleverly using it as an advantage to make the plot more interesting. the different timelines are also a major bonus, sometimes a hit or miss depending on the person reading it, but i think without it, it wouldn't have made this novel as appealing as it was to me so just a small rec from me if you're ever interested
I absolutely love your recommendations. Growing up CS Lewis was my favorite author. Love, love, love the chronicles of Narnia. So I have a question. I am teaching 6-8th grade students . The population of my students is a low incidence classroom of diverse learners. What would you recommend as far as a Christmas feel good, humor and filled with sweetness and kindness . Needs to be able to read in a week. They are able to listen for 10-15 min. Around 100-120 pages. Simple language and plot, high interest to this age group. Any suggestions? I am struggling to find a book. Usually the ones I find are picture books at a primary level. But they are starting to figure out those are as they call it”baby books”.
As far as winter atmospheric books go I really liked Winterwood, I read in in one sitting! 🥶 And, although it starts in summer and goes into winter, a super cozy book is The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, it's adorable 🥰 Spinning Silver and Uproot are on my TBR but I'm afraid, they're quite long and I've read many negative reviews about them 😓
@@Selenite11 I actually started to read Uprooted last year, but I dnf'd it. Unfortunately I didn't connect with the characters and it's actually the first book I couldn't finish 😢 I was really disappointed because I had high hopes.. Maybe I'm too old and I've grown out of these tropes, idk 😢😢 Some I really liked were Ninth House and The Priory of the Orange Tree, so if you have any other recommendations I'm open to them!
I've seen reviews on Amazon that the Little Women copy that you have doesn't actually include both volumes? It's supposed too though. Does yours? Some say it does, some say it doesn't. I want to get it but I'm confused. Lol
Girls Made of Snow and Glass is only one and a half books down on my reading list. And I love you said of Castle in the Clouds - "There's a little bit of a murder mystery happening..." I mean, what's a little bit of a murder? Someone is almost dead? Only a little bit dead? LOL I'm looking forward to Gregory Maguire's new book too, but I'm a bit surprised to hear you say it's been described as whimsical. I love his books but his stories always seem to be a bit..... atmospherically gloomy? And speaking of winter tales set in New York, have you read Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin? It's 748 pages, so you might want to plan ahead to read it next year, but it's so oddly beautiful. There's also a movie.

Is it dark in any way.
NOT THE ACTUAL QUEEN COMMENTING
I love "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and "Little Women". Some of my all time favorites!
The lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe was definitely my favorite as a child many years ago !
I started it but could not even get through the first few chapters does it get more interesting?

Oh wow, I am obsessed with your decorated shelves! I love the garlands & candles - very cozy & elegant looking! ✨

Gregory macquire wrote wicked as well
You really got me into middle grades and I am loving them! Thank you so much will check out those videos.
Omg the background, the ambiance - this is like a zoom meeting background to absolute perfection. For a moment I was like - is that real?!
The Bear and the Nightingale has been on my TBR for so long, nice to see it on a cozy reads list :)
This books all sound amazing. I reread Spinning Silver last weekend and I loved it even more than when I read it for the first time
Love your videos , am actually reading the Harry Potter books 📚 and am enjoying it feels like Cozy Christmas 🎄 when I read it .

Just got Greenglass House in the mail, I'm so excited to start it!
sooooo worth it!! omg I finished in the other day and it’s by far my favorite winter time book
Obsessed with your video intro. It's just the most magical thing!

I am so excited to read Bear and the Nightengale very soon!
Haven't even watched the video and can already tell it'll be amazing 💕
I think that The Wolf Wilder is a great middle grade read for the winter. I also really enjoyed Winterspell by Claire Legrand. On my cozy list for this winter is Elatsoe.

I read Girls Made of Snow and Glass last year around this time & loved it! A Wild Winter Swan & The Light Between Worlds sounds so good! ❄️💕❄️
All great recommendations. I'll definitely check them out

Spinning silver just screams winter because of the cover alone

Little Women is my favorite book of all time! I hope you enjoy it!
Some of my favorite Christmas books are “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” and “Tuck Everlasting”. They are YA but my faves to relive.
