Winter Reads: Books to Curl Up with this Season

Fireplace

William Wordsworth was right when he said,

“Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.”

Nevertheless, the cold, dark days of winter can still get the best of even Nature’s most tenderhearted admirer. What’s one to do?

We here at Chelsea Green have concocted the perfect cabin fever remedy with our suggested winter reading list. With ranging topics, these books are sure to lighten up your days and keep your mind active long after the first signs of spring.

So throw another log on the fire, grab a blanket, and tuck in for the long haul with these new and classic favorites from Chelsea Green.

Happy reading from the employee-owners at Chelsea Green Publishing.
