17 Bookish Mugs For Readers For Winter Sipping

by Sadie Trombetta

Winter is almost upon us, which means it's the season of chilly nights spent curled up reading with a comfy blanket and a hot cup of tea — or coffee, or hot chocolate, whichever you prefer. Whatever your warm beverage of choice may be, make sure this season, you're sipping it out of one of these many bookish mugs for readers perfect for sipping all winter long.

Although every season has its reading perks, winter is an especially wonderful time of year for book-lovers. The cold weather makes it especially appealing to forego any plans that don't involve sweat pants, fuzzy blankets, new books, and a big warm mug of your favorite heated beverage. Who needs holiday parties, date nights, or even trips to the grocery store when you have a good read and a delicious drink calling your name from the couch?

So cheers to long nights of great books, comfy pajamas, cozy blankets, and an entire season devoted to reading and warm drinks. Whether you're fixing yourself a steaming cup of freshly steeped tea of a warm mug of hot cocoa brimming with marshmallows, here are 17 bookish mugs for readers you'll want to sip out of all winter long.
