Winter. Even typing the word makes one grimace a bit: the snow, the bitter cold, the comically long amount of time it takes to get yourself out of the house in the morning, what with socks, boots, gloves, scarves, hats…and did we mention the snow?!
But there is something that we’ve found helps on a cold night, even just a little: cozying up with a hot chocolate, fleece blanket, and a new book, and January 2019 has several new books bound to make it onto your reading list. Below is a look at some of the sure-to-be bestsellers; click on each title to login to your library account and place a hold. Happy Reading!
