Sometimes in life, there is no greater pleasure than starting a new book, wrapped up in the comfort of a cosy sofa, chair or snuggler.
The excitement of a story provides escapism from the everyday, whether you’ve had a hectic day or just want to feel inspired by the words of others.
Here at Sofas & Stuff, we’ve handpicked some of our favourite books to cosy up with on the sofa this season.
