Read a book set in winter

[Stina]

I needed one of these for #Winterween last week, and it was surprisingly difficult to find one on my shelves! But I did locate and get started on Open Season, so that's my pick for this year, even if I didn't finish it in time to count it for Winterween and will have to add it to my personal challenge next year as a fail. Well, at least I can keep my eyes open all year for other books that will count for it next year.

I completed my first book in this challenge with Gingerdead Man, a Christmas-time cozy mystery. When in doubt, Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere is in the winter, so that is a good way to go.

Yeah, I figured I'd have a lot of cozies to choose from, but apparently all of my next-in-series reads at the moment are in spring or autumn. So if I read in those series, I will be careful to stop before I get to Christmas. :-)

Are you into Anne Perry? I have a 2fer of hers which are Christmas crimes that I got from eponine38. Not sure where they would fit in her series, but I haven't read her in order anyway, only jumped around based on the ones I found.

LMK if you are interested, though, and I will move it up on TBR and send it to you.

I don't think I've read any of hers yet, though I know I do have at least one on my shelves somewhere. I probably haven't read it because I'm kinda finicky about reading series in order. I will definitely get to read one this year, though, as The Face of a Stranger is a book club pick soon.

I haven't read that one -- only a few in that series at all, but she is a very strong writer.

I'm going to count Crossroads by Jonathan Franzen towards this. It isn't strictly just set in winter, but a lot of it is, even if that is in different years. A lot of it is around Christmas 1971.
