I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

2 days off but one day late ~ all 3 books were borrowed from Michigan libraries. My boys loved the other books by Kate & Jim McMullan and this one about the Zamboni is just as fun. Hopefully the grandkids appreciate my extroverted reading style. 🤪

Another solid thriller by Coates. However, it wasn't my favorite. It seemed a little slow compared to her other books. If you like isolated locations with lots a snow and the characters being picked off one by one, this one will entertain. I did guess the killer early on, though.
3.5 stars.

What a beautiful edition of The Snow Queen I read today! I completely forgot all the details of this famous Danish fairytale, and surprisingly it felt very comforting after stressful day at work.

Leftcoastzen Wow , it‘s so beautiful! Especially if you don‘t have to drive in it. 1mo
Read4life Just gorgeous ❄️❄️ 1mo
ncsufoxes So beautiful. We moved to Boston last year & we haven‘t had as much snow as we expected. We haven‘t lived in an area with snow for a long time & realized how much we missed seeing snow. 1mo

Winter: A Novel | Ali Smith

Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
The second installment of the Seasonal Quartet did not disappoint. While I felt Autumn was more poetic, I preferred the characters in this book. It's another thoughtful exploration of art, politics, and memory. It's interesting how Smith captures the mood of each season in each book. Looking forward to Spring (in more ways than one!)
(Picture is of a past winter hike, since this winter is not winter. We had thunderstorms last night)

BkClubCare Are these stand alone books even tho “in a series”? 1mo
lil1inblue @BkClubCare Yes, they definitely work as stand alone books. There's some characters that carry over, but you don't need that knowledge for the book. It's more of an easter egg. (So far, anyways. I haven't gotten to Spring or Summer yet.) 1mo
BkClubCare Thanks! Good. I enjoyed Autumn and a friend suggested Winter as a buddy read. 😎 1mo

Mehso-so

I expected this to be as delightful as the cover, sadly it was not.

Honestly, it was me and not the quality of the collection. My impression is winter in the UK is generally more akin to early spring in the upper Midwest of the US, so it was difficult for me to relate to as a seasonal nature read.

Caveat, 23/24 “winter” will go down as the winter that wasn‘t.

quietlycuriouskate I'm not sure we actually get Winter here anymore. I'm on the northern edge of the West Country and what passes for Winter is more like several months of November: rain, some wind, lots of leaden-grey nothing-doing. 2mo
Tamra @quietlycuriouskate 😕 It definitely appears weather patterns are changing for all of us. 2mo
