Welcome to the great hibernation with BookSparks.

Our annual Winter Reading Challenge is your permission slip to cozymaxx and slow down. Think quiet nights, soft schedules, and books chosen to be savored—not rushed. It’s a season built for hibernation mode and the simple joy of turning pages undisturbed.

We’ve curated a lineup of winter reads made for long nights and unhurried moments, plus cozy extras along the way—personalized playlists, thoughtful recommendations, giveaways, and winter-inspired content to keep you company all season long. Follow along on Instagram and TikTok for updates and surprises. This winter, we’re staying in, resetting, and enjoying every page.
