I've honestly never really thought about it. I don't think I read by season or weather, just my own mood.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't either, but I thought it would make a fun list. And if I worked in a public library, I'd love to make a display with these!
ReplyDeleteIt makes a great list. And it would be a totally AWESOME display!
ReplyDeleteI love this week's theme. I didn't do a books by theme posting today (first time I ever missed a Monday), but I'm pretty busy with student teaching...I really want to read Ice! Great list here.
ReplyDeleteGreat list idea! It's been so wet and rainy here it just makes you want to curl up with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I've been thinking that I need to find some snow themed books to cuddle up with lately -- thanks for giving me some ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh, great idea! I live in Canada, and a lot of the year is cold and snowy - I should know a lot more snowy books than I do! I would suggest Peak, by Roland Smith (another Mount Everest book). I love the listless Mondays!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Hopefully I can keep coming up with interesting list ideas :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely have rainy-day-on the-sofa-books. For deep midwinter I would add:
ReplyDeleteMark Helprin's "Winter's Tale"
Connie Willis' "The Doomsday Book"
Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina"
Andie, thanks for the suggestions. For where I live, I guess these are snowy-day-on-the-sofa reads :)
