Cosy Christmas and Wintery Reads (for adults)

Curated by

Sam Drew

One of the greatest pleasures of the Christmas break is curling up in an armchair with a hot chocolate (or an eggnog) and a new book. The only way to get a more Christmassy feeling, is by reading a book set at Christmas or over winter. From poetry to crime, these are some of our favourites!
