The session attracted reading and literature enthusiasts to exchange ideas about books suitable for winter weather and the impact of seasons on readers’ choices.

During the session, participants discussed a wide range of books suitable for winter weather, with discussions focusing on novels with a warm human character, such as stories that reflect family relationships and deep friendships. Some participants indicated that classical literature, thanks to its rich language and cohesive plots, is an ideal choice for winter.
