"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at "The Broke and the Bookish".
It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to
share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of
other bloggers who share their lists here.
This week, our topic is Books with Weather Events in the Title/on the Cover
Ghosh, Amitav "Flood of Fire" (Ibis Trilogy #3) - 2015
Guterson, David "Snow Falling on Cedars" - 1994
Hamill, Pete "Snow in August" - 1998
Handke, Peter "Storm Still" (GE: Immer noch Sturm) - 2010
Høeg, Peter "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow" (DK: Frøken Smillas fornemmelse for sne) - 1992
1913
Ivey, Eowyn "The Snow Child" - 2012
Lennox, Judith "Before the Storm" - 2008
Pamuk, Orhan "Snow" (TR: Kar) - 2002

I'm not a huge fan of storms, floods or snow but I think they can help create great stories.
📚 Happy Reading! 📚
'Cool' idea... [grin]
ReplyDeleteI've read '1913' (as you know) and have a copy of 'Snow Falling on Cedars' waiting to be read. Maybe next year?
Thanks, Kitten. It wasn't my idea but I loved the challenge.
DeleteI would definitely recommend reading "Snow Falling on Cedars". Have you read anything else by Guterson? I love all his books.
'Cedars' is the only one I have of his - and the only one I'd heard of previously. I actually picked my copy up in a free giveaway box thing because the title was familiar. I'll do my best to get to it next year.
DeleteThat was a good pick, Kitten. It was his first and very successful. But I can recommend all of them.
DeleteLove that you went with a snowy theme! :D
ReplyDeleteWell, Lark, snow and storm and flood, but it all goes together. I would have loved to do all one theme but I didn't have enough.
DeleteLots of snow here. I have one as well: https://wordsandpeace.com/2023/10/17/top-ten-books-with-weather-events-in-the-title/
ReplyDeleteNice, Emma. Thanks for the link, I'll go and have a look.
DeleteSnow is a good one today as we're getting close to winter. All of those covers make me cold.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deanna. I think there are a lot of books with snow in the title, somehow it makes for a good story.
DeleteI've not read any of these, but Snow Child seems to be pretty popular today! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteTrue, Poinsettia. I'm not surprised, though, it's a fantastic book.
DeleteThe Snow Child is on so many lists that I am going to have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
That's a good idea, Rebecca. So many people can't be wrong, right?
DeleteOooh! All of these books look interesting! Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my TTT

Thanks, Ronyell. I hope there is at least one for everybody on my list. Thanks for the link.
DeleteSo much snow! Nice list! 🙌 ~Carol @ ReadingLadies
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol. I really loved most of those books.
DeleteI am with you, not normally a huge fan of storms but they do make for great stories!
ReplyDeleteAlways so much more interesting, I think, Cindy.
DeleteGreat titles. All have snow in them except one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisbeth. Well, seven have snow, couldn't find more. Maybe one day.
DeleteThis is a fun theme! I have been meaning to read The Snow Child for years (perhaps because intrigued by the author's name) but I guess the only one of these I have actually read is Snow Falling on Cedars a long time ago. I used to read a lot of Judith Lennox but have not seen any of her books in the library recently.
ReplyDeleteWhat languages do you read in?
That could be a reason for choosing a book, Constance. And it is indeed her real name.
DeleteI have also read To the Bright Edge of the World by her which I liked even more.
Weird, I saw only the first part of your answer first. Sometimes, Blogger has its moments.
DeleteThe Judith Lennox book is probably my least favourite on the list, so I have only read this one.
Snow Falling on Cedars ... I have read everything by David Guterson in the meantime, he is one of my favourite authors.
I read books in German, English, French, and Dutch, and Esperanto. I am learning a few other languages but don't feel too confident to read books in those languages.
