As we approach the win­ter equinox, we’re mak­ing use of longer evenings for more read­ing! And though we may have few­er day­light hours, the fan­tas­tic books com­ing out in the next few months are sure to bring you rays of lit­er­ary sun­shine. With a biog­ra­phy of acclaimed artist Stephen Sond­heim, mes­mer­iz­ing fic­tion on Holo­caust mem­o­ry, immer­sive mem­oirs, and more, these ten books will keep you occupied.
