11 Cozy Book-Themed Blankets, Perfect For Snuggling Up With a Good Read

by Melissa Ragsdale

Curling up in a cozy blanket as you read a good book is one of life's greatest pleasures. Now that fall is here and the weather is cooling down, we're entering the perfect season for staying in and snuggling. After all, colder weather means you have a great excuse to stay inside in read. It's time to fire up the hot chocolate, ready the fireplace, and start stocking up on comfy bookish blankets.

Everyone has a comfort routine for those days when you need to settle down and relax. For me, it's lighting a candle, making a cup of cocoa, and settling in under my favorite fleece blanket with a new read. When it comes to blankets, I can never have enough, and I'm always overjoyed when I find a new blanket to be my friend.

So, just like squirrels stockpiling nuts for winter, it's the time of year for bibliophiles to start stocking up on everything we need for cozy winter reading. Whether it's fleeces or quilts, throws or tapestries, comforters or Snuggies, a good collection of blankets is essential for the winter reading season.

Regardless if you're shopping for yourself or shopping for others, these literary blankets are exactly what you need. Wrap up, snuggle under, or burrow into these comfy literary blankets for the perfect reading experience.
