You'll Tear Through Them Like WRAPPING PAPER!Cold winter days and nights are a great time to curl up with a good story. Just look at countries like Iceland and Norway for the proof. In Iceland, Jólabókaflóð (yo-la-bok-a-flot) is a holiday tradition that literally translates to Book Flood. (Iceland is the 3rd most literate country in the world). The holiday season kicks off with Bokatidindi, a catalog of all the books that have been recently published in the country. People go crazy for it. Using the catalog, everyone buys books as gifts and the holiday season is spent reading. Readers stay up all night on Christmas Eve reading their picks for the new year. Everyone reads! Or maybe you are more into Hygge (Ho0-ga), a Danish word for “the cozy feeling of being indoors, feeling happiness and enjoying the simple things – like a good book”. The winter months are a great time to have a cup of hot cocoa, curl up with a warm blanket and pair of fuzzy socks and read. Maybe even with a family member or friend. Maybe over winter break you should consider taking some downtime and feel the hygge. In the spirit of both these cultural traditions, the SHJH Library has picked out some new and older titles that might make those cold winter nights a little more hygge! Feel free to tune into the book talk below and maybe put a few of these on your list for your next trip to the library or look for them in the SHJH Library catalog in eBooks. Hope you enjoy some great books over break! Can’t wait to hear what you have been reading. As always, READ ON!
