January BYOB(ook) List: Wintery Books

Our BYOB(ook) gatherings are always a highlight of my month and January’s get together was no exception. Interestingly, most of my fellow readers did their homework far better than I did :) After announcing the prompt myself, I then went on to have a hard time choosing books to answer my own question. I ultimately did find a few titles to share while also deciding that like any body on the beach is a beach body, any book read in the winter is a wintery book!

In addition to talking about favorite reads, we also spent time discussing great ways to listen to audio books which is one of my favorite ways to read these days. Our go to audio book providers include the Libby app through your local library, Libro.fm which allows readers to access audio books while supporting independent book stores and the subscription service Scribd.

Read on for the list we created together. The month’s list is full of wintery books and books that are just plain fun to read.
