Friday Five - Five Books I'd Want to Read on a Snowy Weekend


I'm taking a bit of a break from my usual Friday Linkups to try something a little different.  I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much.  It is cold here though in a dreary blah kind of way.    So if I have to be cold I'm imagining a nice cozy cabin in the woods with a picturesque amount of snow that under no circumstances do I have to go out in.  These are the 5 books I'd want to have stacked up next to me to read as I cozy up in front of the fire with nice soft blanket.


1.  Angel's Rest by Emily March - I read an Emily March book for the first time in awhile and it was so cozy and enjoyable that it reminded me that I need to read more books from her.


2.  The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman - I read the first book in this series and enjoyed it and want to continue the series.  It seems like the perfect read for a cozy cold weekend.


3.  52 Loaves: One Man's Relentless Pursuit of Truth, Meaning and a Perfect Crust by William Alexander - Something about cold days makes me want to bake but there is a limit to how much bread I should probably eat so I'll get a little bit of virtual breadmaking from this book.


4.  Ghosts of Greenglass House by Kate Milford - The first book in this series involved a group of people getting snowed in at a mountain top hotel so it seems like perfect reading for a cold weekend.


5.  Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak - A family in quarantine around the holidays in an aging estate sounds like fun reading for a quiet weekend.

What books would you want if you were spending a snowy weekend in a cozy cabin?

  2. Emily March does write a nice cozy romance story. And for some reason I remember Seven Days of Us. I think I put it on a wish list quite awhile ago.

  3. I read 52 Loaves: One Man's Relentless Pursuit of Truth, Meaning and a Perfect Crust some years ago, but I'd like to read it again this year.

  6. 52 Loaves & Seven Days of Us caught my attention. So did Angel's Rest until I saw it was #1 of 18.

  7. I still need to start the Greenglass House books. 💚

    I think I have already added the bread book to Goodreads, but I'm going to check and make sure. 📙

  9. I absolutely adore the Invisible Library series so I agree that it would be the perfect book for a snowy weekend.
