A Book & a Movie Jan. 2026

We're starting off a new series of blog posts this year, and we're kicking off 2026's book and a movie idea with a combo sure to give you chills! Check out the double feature of Jo Nesbo's horror thriller The Snowman and the film starring Michael Fassbender.

From the book's blurb -

Oslo in November. The first snow of the season has fallen. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. Around its neck is his mother's pink scarf. Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter he's received and the disappearance of Jonas's mother - and of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devised - and constantly revised - by the killer.

Do you love this book or movie, maybe even both? Let us know! We love to hear from our readers.

We'll be back with another double feature in February that's more romantic and warm!
