The holidays are over, but there are still wintry days ahead! Snowy and gray days are perfect for snuggling up with a blanket and a favorite book or movie. Or both!
Here are a few page-to-screen pairings that are perfect for passing the winter days:
Most notable on this list for its wintry atmosphere is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, making it a perfect choice for an adventure on a snowy day. Read the classic book by C.S. Lewis and then watch the stunning 2005 movie starring Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie.
Another Jane Austen favorite, featuring a bit of heartbreak and romance. Grab a copy of the book and the swoon-worthy 1995 film starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood.
Featuring plenty of humor and Austen’s signature wit, it’s a perfect choice for a gray winter day. Get lost in the novel for a little while, then binge-watch the 2009 miniseries featuring Romola Garai as the titular character.
Here are a few page-to-screen pairings that are perfect for passing the winter days:

Maybe you’re not looking for a Jane Austen read but still want a romantic classic to cuddle up with. Follow the clash between Margaret Hale and John Thornton through the novel, then check out the 2004 miniseries with Daniela Denby-Ashe and Richard Armitage as the lead characters.
I watched Emma and I loved Jonny Lee Miller as Mr. Knightly. He is just adorable as a person. :)
