✿ an angels guide: january media recommendations ✿
hey angels, here are my favourite media pieces for what can feel like the rainiest, dreariest month (sorry january…). in order to cheer myself up and beat the end of winter blues here are some of my most beloved pieces of media!
books
my year of rest and relaxation, ottessa moshfegh - for those days when you also feel the desire to sleep for as long as you can.
murder on the orient express, agatha christie - i love a cozy wintery murder mystery!! especially by agatha.
before the coffee gets cold, toshikazu kawaguchi - i read this when im craving connection (and also a good cup of coffee).
small things like these, claire keegan- beautiful religious imagery, gorgeous setting full of intriguing characters. historically relevant.
poems
sonnet 97: how like a winter hath my absence been, shakespeare - i love the sonnet form and this poem encapsulates that winter feeling for me, the fertility and feminine images are so so interesting.
the snow fairy, claude mckay - may be my favourite poem that ive found this year! definitely going to check out some more of her work.
white eyes, mary oliver - nature and mary oliver go together like a cute mug and hot chocolate, total perfection!
dust of snow, robert frost - short and sweet, gives me winter chills!!
films
the holdovers - christmas film maybe, but still relevant and lovely for miserable januaries!
the lion, the witch and the wardrobe - one of my childhood favourites, this film is so cozy and comforting, just what is tvneeded.
notting hill - unrealistic and silly? 100% but it’s still so funny and cute, helps me stay optimistic and hopeful in the winter.
the shining - some days i go a little stir crazy and need some old horror to snap me out of it!
albums
diamonds & rust, joan baez - this album is so beautiful and a fairly new discovery for me, im still letting it sink in. my favourites probably blue sky!
blue, joni mitchell - my perfect winter album. listen to river. always makes me cry.
bury me at make out creek, mitski - some days you just have to sink into those winter blues. i love the last words of a shooting star.
evermore, taylor swift - an underrated taylor album! my go to from november till at least march. marjorie is hitting so hard right now and im not fully sure why!
we’ve made it this far through winter angels! we can make it a little further. stay cozy, safe and most importantly keep romanticising your days in even the little ways.
love, m.
January - Edith Holden
