A winter evening of stories, warmth, and community ❄️📚✨
There is something about January that invites us to slow down, gather close, and reach for stories that feel a little magical. For our first book club of the new year, we’re leaning into that winter spirit with The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey—and for our readers who love an “extra,” we’re adding Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan as a beautiful complimentary read.
⭐
The Snow Child
Set against the quiet beauty of 1920s Alaska, The Snow Child follows Jack and Mabel as they try to build a life—and a sense of hope—on the edge of the wilderness. One snowy evening they shape a child from snow, and by morning a mysterious young girl appears in the trees.
Part fairy tale, part emotional journey, the story explores love, longing, and the delicate line between reality and wonder. It’s atmospheric, tender, and the perfect winter read.
⭐
Once Upon a Wardrobe
For anyone who loves Narnia, stories about stories, or simply a book with heart, this novel feels like a warm cup in cold hands.
In 1950s England, Megs Devonshire sets out to uncover the real origins of Narnia for her younger brother George. Her search leads her to C. S. Lewis himself, and what follows is a moving exploration of imagination, memory, and the way stories comfort us when life feels uncertain.
It pairs beautifully with The Snow Child—a little bonus magic for those who want it.
