Right now, we are smack dab in the middle of winter. The days are shorter, the sun sets earlier, the wind is colder and for many, that brings on a case of the so-called winter blues. We can feel less motivated, our overall mood can decrease and we might feel stuck waiting for the longer, sunnier days in the season ahead.
Enter books to the rescue.
Today, I’m sharing three books perfect to help you beat the winter blues. One book celebrates the magic inside of a cold winter season. Another will whisk you away to another, likely colder, location and make you forget about your own winter blues as you get lost inside the pages. And finally, the third book will give you the swift kick-in-the-pants reminder that you can control much of how you feel…so you should.
Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
