  • Mood Reading & Our Winter Reading Vibes - DNF Energy & Cozy Season Picks

    Mood Reading & Our Winter Reading Vibes - DNF Energy & Cozy Season Picks
    Jan 22 2026
    Winter is a vibe—and so is the way we read during it. In this episode, Joe is joined by Cece and Meara to talk all things winter reading vibes, from how mood reading works for us to whether TBRs ever stand a chance. We get honest about DNFing books (when we quit, why we quit, and how we make peace with it) and then wrap things up with book recommendations that feel just right for the colder months—think cozy, atmospheric, emotional, and immersive reads. If your winter reading life looks nothing like your reading goals… you’re in good company. Looking for the video version of our show? Check out the Libby App YouTube channel!
