Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Books Set in Snowy Places. I don't live in a place that gets much snow and I have no interest in being around snow but I really enjoy reading books that are set in snowy places. Here are 10 of those books on my TBR.
1. The Good Girl by Mary Kubica - This takes place in Chicago and the woods in Minnesota which are both pretty cold and snowy places.
2. Snowblind by Ragnar Jonasson - This series takes place in Iceland and it's hard to find a setting that's colder and snowier!
3. Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey - This book is set in Alaska
4. The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware - The previous book took place on a ship in miserably cold weather and this one takes place in a hotel in Switzerland
5. An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena - Winter in the Catskills sounds pretty snowy
6. Murder on the Christmas Express by Alexandra Benedict - This takes place on a train from London to Scotland that gets stuck in the snow.
7. The Broken Girls by Simone St. James - There's snow on the cover and the book takes place in Vermont.
8. This Fallen Prey by Kelley Armstrong - Rockton is a fictional town that is in the wilds of Canada
9. The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson - This one has been on my TBR for ages and is set in Sweden.
10. Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys - I'm not sure there's any place snowier than Siberia.
What books Set in Snowy Places are on your TBR?
Great choices! The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared Is such a fun read
ReplyDeleteMurder on the Christmas Express looks like a lot of fun - presumably a 'locked room' murder mystery... And trains have got stuck in the snow here in the UK:)).
ReplyDeleteYou have some good ones here. I've told you I think that The Broken Girls is one of my favorite books. Also loved This Fallen Prey. I have a couple of the others, but haven't read them yet. Kind of tend to read the 'cold' books in the summer. Ha!
ReplyDeleteNice list. We don't get snow here, but I do like books in a snowy setting. I don't know why since I hated it when I lived in New York and had to drive to work in it.
ReplyDeleteI've only read The Good Girl from the titles you listed. I like an atmospheric book with snow or cold. Don't want to live with it but I like reading about it.
