Winter has officially begun! With temperatures falling and nights shortening outdoors, this has always been a special time of year for readers, the season for which the phrase "curling up by the fire with a good book" was invented.

For this reward, we want your favourite winter comfort reads: the books or comics that you re-read at this time of year, or which remind you of, or you associate with, winter and Christmas. Just tell us: when the snow falls outside, the knitwear is on, and a cup of cocoa is in hand: what should we be reading to complete the scene?

And be sure to tell us why! There's a minimum word count of 30 words, but more are encouraged. Bonus points for including a third-party picture of the cover.
