At the beginning of summer, I came up with a summer reading list for friends and blog readers. These are books I'd recommend -- some just plain fun, some more weighty, but all riveting reading. (I don't recommend reading that's a chore - trust me.)

But now the cool weather is here (thank god; better for writing) and there are two books that come to mind that are great to snuggle up in front of the fireplace with. One was also on my summer reading list. The other is not my favorite book ever but it's very readable, entirely appropriate for winter, and like other books I recommend, it's extremely compelling.

So click here for two books that are great autumn/winter reading. (And no, they're not mine.)
