Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic. Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here. This week’s prompt is:
Books Set in Snowy Places
1. The Shining by Stephen King
2. The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis
3. The Glass Hotel by Emily St John Mandel
4. The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
5. The Bear and the Nightingale (The Winternight Trilogy) by Katherine Arden
6. The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
7. The Gathering by CJ Tudor
8. A Haunting in the Arctic by CJ Cooke
9. Shiver by Allie Reynolds
10. The Wolf in the Whale by Jordanna Max Brodsky
I have to say there are some excellent books above and I had quite a few more that I could have shared. I highly recommend all of these.
What about you? Do you have any other books that you would add to this list?

The Bear and the Nightingale is a good one for this topic. I almost included it too.
Yeah, I loved that series and it really is perfect for this prompt.

DId you read the complete series?

I had forgotten The Glass Hotel had a snow setting. Love this list, and of course The Shining is a classic.
I loved The Shining, quite different from the film too.
Lynn 😀
I’ve seen The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on a couple of lists for this week, and I can’t believe I didn’t think to include it on mine!
I loved that book and the cover choice with Mr Tumnuss.
Lynn 😀
Hello Lynn, of course we both The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on ours lists! 😁 I haven’t read any of the others, but I would really like to read The Snow Child and The Bear and the Nightingale. I also know The Shining from the classic Stanley Kubrick film 🥶
Blessings, Jessica 💌
I really think you would enjoy both of those. They’re really good.
Lynn 😀
Love snowy settings. Not a surprise I’ve ready almost all of these save one or two😀
You need to read those two or three – whichever books they happen to be!
