Welcome to another Booking Through Thursday, our event that allows us to share bookish thoughts.
Here’s today’s prompt:
It’s the depth of winter here where I live right now … what books do you like to read when it’s snowy and white? What books do you read to evoke a real feeling of winter (good or bad)?
***
It never gets snowy or white here, but rain and fog surround us, and it’s cold enough! Judging from last month’s choices, as well as the ones I’ve read this month, some of my favorites of the season include lush books that span decades; good mysteries, both the thriller kind and the cozies; a few memoirs; and anything that involves curling up with a cup of tea or coffee. And the book, of course.
Like these: (Click for reviews)
Windfall, by Penny Vincenzi
Midwives, by Chris Bohjalian
A Thousand Pardons, by Jonathan Dee
There Was an Old Woman, by Hallie Ephron
And here are some from last winter:
The Girl in the Green Raincoat, by Laura Lippman
Bogey Nights, by Marja McGraw

So there’s a sampling of my cold weather choices. What about yours? I’m off to find out!
Love the new look!! Your books, if not planned, do fit the season. Many of them are on my TBR list but have been in a slump and sadly have not been able to get into my reading routine. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great upcoming weekend!
Glad you could visit today, Cheryl, and that you enjoy the new look. When I get in a slump, I focus on changing something in my home or on my blogs.
My winter reading is going pretty well so far. Hope yours improves and you are once again immersed in it.

Thanks, Regina…glad you could stop by.
I still need to read ‘A Thousand Pardons’! I usually go for favourites that make me all happy and warm! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like a good plan, Juli….glad you could stop by! Enjoy your cozy reading.
I agree with the mysteries, we have been getting more snow this year.
Yes, there is just something about a good suspense to warm me up! Thanks for visiting, Tribute Books Mama.
Ooooh a good suspense sounds like a great book to read on a wet and gloomy day. I’ll have to go pick one up if the snow storm hits us.
I totally agree, Scatty….gather your books around you for the cold days ahead. Thanks for visiting.
Good thing I have about 30+ books to read in my room!
I usually enjoy reading winter books in winter. But sometimes I love the beach reads in winter to get away from it all
Yes, I can see how beach reads in winter could be a cozy kind of thing to do. Thanks for visiting, Yvonne. Enjoy your reads.
It doesn’t get that cold here either, so I don’t think my reading habits change with the season.
The past week or so has been pretty cold (after my saying how it doesn’t get very cold…lol), but it’s still way warmer than many places, so I can’t complain. Thanks for stopping by, Kathy.
