Countdown to Winter Solstice

Now that NaNoWriMo is over, I am excited to start transitioning into the cozy reading phase of my year, and I want to try something I’ve always wanted to do but have always been too intimidated to attempt. Blogmas!

In case you are unfamiliar with this concept, it’s basically some format of a post a day during the month of December. Some people do an abbreviated “12 days of Blogmas” version. Others go one a day for the whole month. And I think some only do a countdown to Christmas.

I’ve decided to do a countdown to the Winter Solstice. As someone who lives in the upper northwest corner of the US, it gets pretty dark in the winter months and the days get really short. Counting down to the shortest day of the year has become something of a thing for me. And celebrating that we’ve made it and turned the corner to the other (brighter) side and longer days ahead is something I enjoy.

My plan is to celebrate and share my cozy winter reading with a post a day through the 21st. I may keep going after that, depending on how much I’m enjoying this. Or I may slip back into a less frequent posting schedule. We’ll see.

Currently reading

Yesterday, I finished the book I’d been reading on Kindle. The day before that I finished the audiobook I’ve been listening to. And I left the hardcover I just started reading (This Golden Flame) at home (because I’m away for the weekend at a writing retreat). So, I’m between books at the moment.

I have several options from my end of year TBR that I could start as my next Kindle read, but I haven’t decided which one to pick. Here are the books I’m considering:

What do you think? Which one should I read next? Let me know in the comments or vote below.

Now, I’m off to do some writing and then go for a run. More fun tomorrow, including which of these options I picked to read next!
