Big snow is a-coming this weekend! Well, maybe. The meteorologists cannot decide whether we are in for 2.5″ or 23.5″…no joke! Regardless of the outcome, this wait-and-see situation has me dreaming of snuggling on the sofa with my beasties, a good book (or three), and a bottomless supply of warm beverages. With that in mind, I’ve curated a handful of cozy, bookish items for this Snowbound Edition of Shopping for the Bookworm. Enjoy!

How wonderful. I like to watch the snow…fall, while snug in warm clothes, drinking tea, with a wonderful book in my hands. If Emily would come inside, I would have her wrapped in the blanket that covered my lap. Still, I’d rather have 75 degrees and sunshine: Great post.
