The 2025 Winter Reading Challenge is here!!!!

I am not a fan of winter, but one thing I do enjoy during this time of year, is the opportunity to slow down, get cozy and read a good book.

Which is why I started these winter reading challenges a few years ago.  I started it as a way to motivate myself to read more for pleasure and break up the long winter months and it has become something you all have loved and enjoyed as well.

Below I’m sharing how to join in on the 2025 Winter Reading Challenge and giving you some of my book recommendations.

What is the Winter Reading Challenge?

The 2025 Winter Reading Challenge is a seasonal event running from January through mid March.  This challenge has various prompts to encourage you to read a variety of different genres.

The Crash by Freida McFadden – If you love a good Freida book, this one comes out January 28th 2025.

Tegan is eight months pregnant and wanting to put her life behind her and start new with her new baby. She sets off to stay with her brother only to be heading into a blizzard. She becomes stranded when her car dies and is rescued by a seemingly nice couple who offer for her to stay at their cabin.  However as time goes on, she realizes she is in danger.

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros – coming January 21st, 2025. This is the third book in the Empyeran Series after Fourth Wing and Iron Flame.

Book set during winter

The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey – this one sounds like a winter fairytale. It’s 1920’s in Alaska. Jack and Mabel are childless and struggling homesteading in brutal Alaska and slowly drifting apart. One day during a snowstorm they build a child out of snow. The next day, the snow child is gone but in it’s place is a blonde-haired girl of the woods who Jack and Mabel come to love as their own daughter.

The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley –This one takes place during Christmas break when a group of friends get together in the Scottish Highlands to celebrate New Year’s together. On New Year’s Day, one of them winds up dead, and someone in their group is responsible.

Non-fiction read

Be Ready When The Luck Happens by Ina Garten – I can’t think of a cozier non-fiction read than Ina’s memoir.  I have heard that audible is the way to go with this one, as it is narrated by Ina herself. (Click here to get your free Audible Plus trial.)

Alive by Piers Paul Read – this one is the true story about a Rugby Team who survives the Andes Mountains after their plane crashes. Of the 45 passengers, only 16 are found alive.

 

Happy Reading!!!
