Top Ten Tues: Winter Reads

Top Ten Tuesdays, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, feature lists related to all things bookish–characters, authors, titles, and favorites. They’re an excellent way to find new interesting books on a variety of topics, and to find bloggers that love the books you do.

Check out their blog for their top ten and lists by other bloggers!

December 4: Cozy/Wintry Reads (Make this prompt suit your current season if needs be.)

Here’s my Top Ten Wintry Reads (New and Re-reads)

New Reads

1. The Winter of the Witch; Katherine Arden.  I’m going to have to wait a month for this, but it’s perfect for this list.
   

2. If on A Winter’s Night a Traveler; Italo Calvino. It’s right there in the title. 😉

3. The Pushcart Prize XLII; Bill Henderson.  Short stories are perfect to fit into a busy holiday season.

4. Ice Wolves; Amie Kaufman. Ice and magic! Perfect.

5. An Elderly Lady is up to No Good; Helene Tursten. Cozy always makes me think of mysteries. And what’s more cozy that a bit of murder? 😉

Re-Reads

6. Devil in Winter; Lisa Kleypas. A cold setting is best while inside, cuddled up with a lapcat and a warm drink.

7. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened; Jenny Lawson. The holidays can be stressful, so a laugh is great.

8. The Stupidest Angel; Christopher Moore. A Christmas miracle gone wrong.

9. Hogfather; Terry Pratchett. A special sort of holiday story by one of my favorite authors.
