Booking Through Thursday – Wintery Books

btt2

What I want to know today is … what are the most “wintery” books you can think of? The ones that almost embody Winter?

I didn’t get around to as many “wintery” books as I wanted to, mainly those Christmas themed, but the two that I read and enjoyed were A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and Santakid by James Patterson.

I know there are so many out there so hopefully I come across more in the future.
