10 Classic Books To Read During Winter
Timeless tales to enjoy, curled up with a hot chocolate
Wherever you are in the world, no doubt you are facing the prospect of a winter lockdown.
Or perhaps, you’re already in one.
Back in March, at least we had the promise of summer weather to keep us going. We tended our gardens, did DIY in our homes and enjoyed the odd G&T in the safe outdoors with friends and family.
But now, the nights are getting darker. Each day that passes gets steadily colder and our ability to try and achieve any level of normality outside is disappearing. This time, we must look inside our homes.
So, how can we sustain ourselves during these winter months?
There is no activity better at providing escapism than reading. Whatever your tastes, books can distract and entertain, they can unite families and promote conversations. They inspire and challenge us.
Books will be our savior during this second wave.
Below is a list of classic stories that I have read and always go back to. If you’re stuck for ideas of what to read first, then please try one of these to get you started.
