QOTD: Hot chocolate, mulled apple cider, or eggnog—what’s your holiday drink of choice?

[Krystyna]

Hot chocolate – it's like a warm hug in a mug and it's very nostalgic for me.

Hot chocolate!

QOTD: What’s the first thing you do when December starts?

[Krystyna]

As with every month, I try to look at it as a fresh start and determine what I would like my month to look like. Also, for December specifically, I really dive into Christmas mode.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: What’s your favorite winter activity that pairs well with reading?

[Krystyna]

I really enjoy making a cup of hot cocoa, putting on a cozy ambience video, and annotating in my book as I read. If it's at night I love to get cozy in bed and burrow under the blankets with a good book.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: What’s a book that feels like a warm blanket on a cold day?

[Debra Diggs]

.
.
Either Bookshops & Bonedust or Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. There are a whole lot of heartwarming and charming moments in them.

[Krystyna]

A book that feels like a warm blanket on a cold day:
I have a couple that I could list here – The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, Greenglass House, and Legends & Lattes.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: If you could gift one book to everyone this season, what would it be?

[Krystyna]

If I could gift one book to everyone this season, it would be 84, Charing Cross Road. Regardless of what genre of books you enjoy, this one is such an impactful read among all book lovers. It is such a short read but it is such a gem for anyone who loves books.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: Do you have any winter reading traditions? (This could be a certain reading routine, a certain book you read every winter, a certain drink you only enjoy during the winter while you read, etc.)

[Krystyna]

Some of my winter reading traditions:
I typically enjoy a cup of hot cocoa in the winter when I read.
I always like to re-read Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.
I also love reading wintry fantasy books.

I enjoy drinking hot cocoa on cold nights while I read. Also I enjoy reading a few Christmas books around this time every year to help get in the Christmas spirit.

usually i read more. december is typically my best reading month, but i feel like i've been in a weird reading mood all year lol

[Krystyna]

During the winter I feel like I read more, but during the actual holiday season I feel like I read less. I watch Christmas movies and spend more time with family during the holiday season.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: If your current read were a Christmas song, which one would it be?

[silas☆]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: If your current read were a Christmas song, which one would it be?"

My current read, which I'm almost finished with, is Home for Christmas. I think mine is pretty easy. The Christmas song that would fit best with my current read is I'll Be Home for Christmas.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: What’s the most festive book cover you’ve seen?

[Jennifer]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you read more or less during the holiday season?"

I read less during the holiday season. I have several traditions that we do with our friends and family every year, so it keeps me pretty busy on the weekends!

The Christmas Spirit by Debbie Macomber

[Laurel County]

QOTD: What's a goal you've set for this year?

[Krystyna]

I've set a few goals for this year. I didn't hit my goal of 100 books last year, so I'm going to try again this year.

[Debra Diggs]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's a goal you've set for this year?"

Bookwise: try urban fiction. (But I think this might be too gritty for me.)

Otherwise: take more walks.

[Elizabeth]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's a goal you've set for this year?"

Nothing so far
