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)?
Well, it may be winter in Georgia, but that just means that it is wet and even occasionally cold. We’ve had a couple days where it’s been warm recently, so I’ve never really experienced a winter that’s snowy and white.
I’m also beyond awful at seasonal reading; I never read anything at the right time. However, I did just finish up Wuthering Heights, and doing that in the midst of several overcast, drizzly, cold days was a delightful way to finish that off.
:O I chose Wuthering Heights as well, but mainly because it’s my favourite book, so I will always read it, especially when if I want to be comfortable in winter! Thanks for sharing!

We’re having snowy weather but it’s not really affecting my choice of books much.

We’ve been experiencing more snow than last year here in the N.E. I like anything that might keep my mind off of it.

I started a tradition when I was 12 that whenever it snowed here in Georgia I would read Fritz Leiber’s story Stardock, which is about Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser climbing a mountain and adventuring in the ice wastes. I still do it all these years later. And I still get a big kick out of it.
What a fantastic tradition!
I love to read Arthur Ransome’s Winter Holiday when it’s winter time – all those fantastic descriptions of skating and exploring, and the houseboat being frozen in… Lovely.
Aw, how gorgeous.
