Booking Through Thursday – Winter
Posted on January 17, 2013 in Books
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)? BTT
I don’t really read for the season. I do think I read much more in summer and spring. This partly due to a habit I grew up with when I went to school. Winter was exams and midterms and summer was free time. Even now, winter is more fraught with responsibilities, work and less for free time. I’m disappointed that I haven’t really had much time to read this month, and I doubt I can make more time.
As for books that evoke winter, all my favourite young adult series use winter very well: Harry Potter (just reread last week), His Dark Materials (ditto), and Narnia (particularly TLWW).
I prefer cozy mysteries when snowy and cold.

Sounds good to me, TBM! Happy reading!

Thanks, Bettina! You have a good weekend too!
The snowing is fall thick and fast here and I would agree it is putting me in the mood for Narnia 🙂
Hey Jessica! I also just did some walking in the snow at night. Beautiful! Hope you have a great weekend!
