"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. 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's topic is Snowy Places
I'm more of an autumn fan but snowy places often look cozy, so I quite liked this challenge. And I have read a lot of books about winter, ice and cold etc. And I found some lovely books that I can recommend. Most of them absolute favourites of mine.
Calvino, Italo "If on a Winter's Night a Traveller" (I: Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore) - 1979
Frazier, Charles "Cold Mountain" - 1997Guterson, David "Snow Falling on Cedars" - 1994
Hamill, Pete "Snow in August" - 1998
Høeg, Peter "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow" (DK: Frøken Smillas fornemmelse for sne) - 1992
Ingalls Wilder, Laura "The Long Winter" - 1940 from "Little House Books" - 1932-71

I have a few winter/snow/Christmas related reads coming up, but none of those you list. I do have a copy of 'Snow Falling...' and 'Winter Palace' to read though...... Maybe *next* winter [grin]
