It’s officially cozy season! For the first week of November, we’re kicking off the holidays SJM-style with a game of “What Would We Gift These Characters?” From Rhysand to Aelin (and maybe even Tamlin 👀), we’re getting creative with holiday presents for our favorite fantasy icons.
Then we shift from fictional shopping lists to real-life holiday book recommendations—for both adults and kids. Whether you’re gift shopping or just want to curl up with something festive, we’ve got you covered.
Your favorite SJM-obsessed hosts talk through:
✨ The most unhinged (and perfect) SJM character gifts
✨ Holiday book recs for cozy adult reads & magical kid picks
✨ What’s on our bookish wish lists this season
✨ A healthy dose of chaos, warmth, and holiday spirit
📚 Weekly bookish chaos, fandom spirals, and cozy seasonal vibes.
