Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
Thank you to Wordy Witterings for submitting the original theme for this week, Book Covers Featuring Autumnal Colors. I’ve written many posts on this topic over the years, though, and so I’m picking something a little different that still have an autumnal vibe to it.
Hygge is a Danish word that refers to coziness, warmth, and well being. I don’t know about all of you, but my need for those things increases as the temperature cools down and those of us in the Northern Hemisphere prepare for winter to arrive.
Here are some hygge books I’ve deeply enjoyed and would recommend to anyone who is looking for something cozy over the next several months.
1. The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
2. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
3. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Dave Manak
4. Hygge: Discovering The Danish Art Of Happiness – How To Live Cozily And Enjoy Life’s Simple Pleasures by Olivia Telford
5. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
6. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
7. A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot, #1) by Becky Chambers
Which other hygge books could you recommend?
The Snow Child was a really good one! 😀
Agreed!
I love all things Hygge!
Yay! Glad to hear it.
Fun twist! I enjoyed the Oliphant book.
Thank you. 🙂
Some lovely choices here! The Snow Child, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and A Psalm for the Well-Built are all favorites of mine!
Thank you, and glad to hear it.
The Snow Child cover has something so serene about it!
Totally agree with you there.
I have heard of ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain,’ and though I never read the book, I did always enjoy the quirky storytelling of ‘I Capture the Castle’ in the film adaptation. May be that I should read that book someday! 🙂 Thanks for visiting my list today.
I think you’d like it, and you’re welcome.
I’ve heard good things about Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine 🙂
It’s a good read for sure!
Great choices. I want to read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I think I read it many years ago but I’d love to do a re-read. I just need to find the time.
It’s even better as a reread. Enjoy!
I love your choice to do Hygge feeling books! 😊 Although set in a fantasy world, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien definitely gives me Hygge feelings – with its cosy hobbit holes and their love for good books, food and friends.
Thank you, and totally agreed there. Good pick.
Great list, Lydia! I adored Eleanor Oliphant! Happy Tuesday!
Thank you. Happy Tuesday!

Ooh, clicking now. Thanks!
I have got to pick up that Becky Chambers book. Every time I see a blogger praise it, I regret not jumping on the bandwagon.
It was excellent, and so was the sequel. I highly recommend checking them out.
Cool twist on the prompt! I loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and I’ve been wanting to read the Elinor Oliphant book.
