Okay, real talk…winter is rough. The 4pm darkness, the cold, the constant urge to just stay in bed? Yeah, I get it. But I've found some things that actually help, and I'm not about to gatekeep them. We're talking light therapy lamps that genuinely work, cozy essentials that feel like a hug, and little mood-boosters that make these months way more bearable. You don't have to just white-knuckle it until spring. Let's make winter something you can actually enjoy (or at least not dread). Here's what's helped me/those I'm close with and maybe it'll help you too.

I'll be honest - I'm completely obsessed with hockey romance. Like, it's basically all I read now and I have zero regrets. 😅 These are the hockey romance books that kept me up way past my bedtime, made me giggle out loud in public, and had me immediately searching for "what to read next" the second I finished. I've probably read 20+ hockey romances at this point, and these are the ones that hit different. Every book on this list delivers the hockey romance holy trinity: grumpy athletes who are secretly soft, banter that makes you smile, and chemistry that practically burns through the pages. Some are spicy (🌶️🌶️🌶️), some are emotional, some made me laugh until I cried - but all of them are completely addictive. Which one are you reading first? Let me know! 📚

These are the contemporary romances that kept me up past midnight, made me laugh out loud, and left me with the biggest book hangover. From baseball diamonds to college campuses, these stories deliver swoon-worthy heroes, unforgettable chemistry, and all the feels.
