R. Nassor may spend more time with books, tea, and ceramic mugs than recommended by professionals but it hasn’t failed her so far. Nassor has a MA in English Literature from Georgetown University, where she looked at the way medieval and early modern literature reappear in fantasy books today. She’s been writing about romance, fantasy, science fiction, and pop culture for quite a while, starting at Book Riot in 2020. She’s also written for Tor.com. You can follow her on Tiktok and contact her through her website.
It’s officially cozy season. Let me tell you, these bookish blankets, quilts, and throws make an excellent addition to any snuggly reading room.
When it gets chilly and the sky goes grey, I feel a deep need to become one with a soft chair as I read a good book. Bookish blankets, quilts, and throws fully immerse me in the experience of becoming cuddly. It is only common sense that I would share that peak experience with others.
When it comes to fiber arts at large, I have a soft spot for handmade goods. I’ve done my best to find and highlight blankets that pass the Google search test to find real people making homemade goods. Something the size of bookish blankets requires a lot of time and material. As such, these are admittedly pricier goods. Nevertheless, I’ve gone through the process of highlighting the very best if you decide you would like to splurge on a bookish blanket this holiday season.
These bookish blankets, quilts, and throws are excellent presents for any reader in your life. You also have the benefit of supporting craftspeople who continue to make beautiful and useful fiber goods. I highly recommend buying your favorite for you, your friends, or your family.
