8 Favourite Books I Read This Winter

Hello, everyone! Here I am with our seasonal book favourites. :) I didn't say last time, but this list only includes books I reviewed this season--not rereads that I didn't review. ;) As before mentioned, I borrowed some of these categories & this post idea from Kate Willis.


Romance ~
By “romance,” I mean a book that cannot stand if you take out the romance. Aaaaand for that, I say What Katy Did Next by Susan Coolidge. Such a sweet, gradual romance. <33 And the whole rest of the book is amazing. This is my favourite of the Katy books.
Fantasy ~ 

By “fantasy,” I mean books set in this world but in made-up countries or places. This month it was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This book is pure genius and pure humour. I have reread it many times, but each time I enjoy it as much as ever.

Historical Fiction ~
Ahhhh, there were so many good ones!!!! But the winner was The Dark House on the Moss by Constance Savery. Sooo good, guys. Sooo good. I'm so sad at how unknown it is!! It deserves better. Redemption, betrayal, forgiveness, true love, children, sibling relationships, a British captain, amazing names... such a good book, as always. :)


Nonfiction ~
Great Canadian Speeches by Dennis Gruending. This was such a good book! Highly recommended for any Canadian or anyone wanting to understand Canada better. I really appreciated seeing that unique, bird's-eye view of Canada.

Finish That Series ~

The Questions of War Series by Jesseca Wheaton. I've been wanting to reread books 1-2 since 2017. and when book 3 came out I desperately wanted to read it... and just as desperately didn't want to read it. I finally did... so good. Wow. Totally recommended for history buffs, WWII geeks, & fans of deep themes. History ~
Never Give In by Stephen Marshall. This one perhaps the best biography I ever read, next to Daniel Boone, Wilderness Scout. It is so good. I copied down so many quotes. Definitely a book to reread often and ponder on.
Comedy ~
Not Write Now by Kyle Robert Shultz. Oh my word. I got this book simply because it was free and had amazing reviews and was about writing. Then I read it all that evening. Brilliant. Helpful. And hilarious. xD

Classic ~
And we have a new category. ;) This category is for books that everyone knows about (or at least that I've heard about a lot) that were written before the 2000s... In this season's category we have A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. So, so good. <3
MG/Juvenile Fiction ~
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. I've lost count of how many times I've read this book. It's timeless. So beautiful. So funny. So sweet. If you haven't read it yet... you're missing out so much.
Reread ~ 

Adventures & Adversities by Sarah Holman. I love this series so much, and this is the best book in it (next to it's prequel Admirable xP). So many good messages... and William. Such a wonderful character.

Mystery ~
The Lamplighter by Maria S. Cummins. This isn't a full-blown mystery, but it was my favourite book that had touches of mystery/suspense (besides Dark House). I really enjoyed it--it was very good and deep.

Contemporary ~
Tattered Wings by Kassie Angle. This was hands-down my favourite read of the season, next to my reread of Enemy Brothers. So good, you guys. Soldiers + police + dogs + humour + tears + brothers + friendships + heroes... <33 I have no words. Just go read it.
