Happy New Year to each and every one of you from the Lerner imprint! Call me crazy, but January may be one of my favorite times in Minnesota. Why? It’s inevitably chilly here this time of year, and giant, fluffy snowbanks often line your house on every side. It’s not unusual to find yourself snowed in—or at least reluctant to travel far—as sparkly flakes pile up. What better time to curl up with a blanket and some hot tea and read a great book?

Below are a handful of the cold-weather reads that I recommend from Lerner. May this January find you with a great book in hand…and perhaps with a cozy blanket and some hot tea too!
