One of my favorites is the novel, Alaska.
I forgot to add, we’re having our first snow storm tonight in Boston, …thus my question to you, the reader.? about your favorite books.
A good book to disappear into is Mark Twain’s ‘Roughing It’.
How about the poem “Snow-bound” by John Greenleaf Whittier?
( The sun that brief December day).
I liked Alaska but I thought Hawaii was a masterpiece.
The two Eddas and Astrid Lindgren. I am German, we read Scandinavian literature. Plus all of Jane Austen and little lord etc
I love everything Scandinavian and in some of my wilder moments, I have contemplated a move to Denmark.
Hahahaha! Snowstorm! Not very likely where I live. It doesn’t even rain! But I have been known to read a whole novel on a searing summer day when it’s too hot to go outside. Jane Eyre is a favourite. Perhaps it’s imagining those chilly Yorkshire hills!
I’ll take snow any day over rain .?
Any rain would be gratefully appreciated here atm :/
Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher.
Something new. Always.
when it’s stormy, I love reading something that I’ve already read. I don’t know if it’s because I find the familiarity comforting or if it’s because I’m easily distracted by the excitement of the storm. We don’t get snowstorms in Vancouver, but growing up I always had blizzards and 8ft of snow. A good storm can be comforting and so by rereading something, I guess I can look at it in a different way.
I pick up my Jane Austen collection. Her novels always lift me up and entertain me when the weather outside could easily bring me down.
@Rita I love how Austen’s books always feature the changing of the seasons.
Either the Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child OR the Harry Potter series.
Call of the Wild
A real goodie!
I like books with short stories. I live in Florida – we don’t get snowstorms just hurricanes. Physical books don’t need power or recharging and they’re portable in case we have to evacuate…??
It’s not the first snow of the season here in Minnesota but it is definitely coming down. I’m reading Doctor Zhivago. Which is quite apropos.

Cozy mysteries are good. Or something with a Christmas theme: A Christmas Carol or A Child’s Christmas In Wales.
I love the lights for all the Winter holidays
Winter started early here in Québec: We just got about a foot of snow. I don’t mind .. I have plenty of hot coffee and books. ? I’m currently in the middle of The Two Towers by Tolkien.
It’s so long it would outlast the snowstorm but Anna Karenina is a wintry book
What a great question! We don’t get many snowstorms here in western Oregon but do get plenty of rain/wind storms (including freezing rain). I guess any ling book with engaging characters is good for hunkering down during a storm (with my dog at my feet and a good hot drink to keep me warm).
Now we are going to have rain for two days.

I started reading a series of books by author Laraine Smelling! They start with two couples who arrived here in the U.S. fr Norway to homestead in So. Dakota. They go on from these two couples and on up to the third generations of their children
Many of their stories remind me of the way I was raised in Oklahoma in the 1930, s.so far. I’ve read 6 of them can’t put them down. They are real stories and based on faith and no dirty words or explicit sex.but real life stories.cjevk the first one out and u want to keep reading about this family.!!
Thelma:
I read your past thread on cap guns and the smell of the gun.power.
I had a cap gun, growing up in Chicago! What fun!
The last word is Snelling, not Smelling.
Game of Thrones. Winter is coming
