Hello, everyone, and welcome to another week of book picks.
It’s so cold where I am that I am going to match my reading to the temperature. I always enjoy watching movies set in snowy locations during this time of the year, so why not do the same with books? I’m thinking of books like Beartown by Fredrik Backman and Dead of Winter by Darcy Coates. Stories where the cold is not the background, but a danger and a threat all its own.
Some people like to dream of warmer days when it’s cold out. Others want to immerse themselves in it. As long as I have my space heater, I’m in the latter group.
That’s all I have for this week. Let’s get to the picks.
