I love reading any time of time of the year, but there’s something about holiday lights, a warm drink, and a comfy chair that turns reading into a little refuge in the middle of the whirlwind of end-of-year parties, errands, and planning.

As someone who builds and updates our site every week, I see how reading habits shift with the seasons. Fall brings moody thrillers and introspective fiction. But winter? Winter brings a craving for warmth, nostalgia, and stories that match fuzzy socks and soft blankets.

Why the Holidays Are a Perfect Time to Read

1.Time to slow down...

The holidays often come with a few extra days off, quieter evenings, and long drives to visit family. That little pocket of downtime is perfect for finally picking up a book that’s been lingering on your TBR since …

This is hands-down my favorite time of year. The air gets that crisp edge, sweaters come out of hiding, and suddenly my perfect evening looks like a blanket, a cup of something warm, and a really good book. 🍂📖

If you don’t already know, one of my favorite parts of my job is curating and programming the pages on BingeBooks. I spend my days surrounded by stories — digging through new releases, spotlighting hidden gems, and pulling together collections I hope you’ll love as much as I do.

Our Seasonal & Holiday Reads page just got a fresh update, packed with cozy romances, twisty mysteries, and heartwarming stories that feel like the season itself. And because there’s always something new to discover, I’ll be adding , new carousels, fresh books and trending deals every week.

We all love a good book series… but let’s be honest, sometimes the thought of starting a 20+ book saga feels like homework.

Here are some great series—from fantasy and thrillers to romance and cozies—where you can pick up whichever book calls your name and still have a great time. Bonus: many of our BingeBooks founding authors are pros at this style!
