Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Books Set in Snowy Places (If snow isn’t your thing, pick another kind of place and share books set there!)
Normally when there is a seasonal theme I swap it to represent the season here in Australia. However, this time I decided to go with the theme even though it is summer here.

The Secret Christmas Library by Jenny Colgan - I just finished listening to this. There is a lot of snow in this book to the point that the characters get snowed in for some of the book!
Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson - This isn't a common Australian setting as it is set in the Alps in winter, and there is a lot of snow. (my review)
Meet Me Under the Northern Lights by Mandy Baggot - This one sees our main character heading off on a last minute trip to Iceland (my review)
Last Stop on the Winter Wonderland Express by Rebecca Raisin - This luxury festive train travels across Northern Europe and ending up in Lapland
Small Things Like These by Claire Foster - Now, I didn't read this book all that long ago, and I am relatively sure that there was snow in the book, but I am prepared to be wrong about that!

Escape to the Northern Lights by Carrie Walker - our main character thinks she is going to a luxury spa weekend but really it is a winter back to nature, vegan wellness retreat (my review)
A Winter Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack - This is the second book in the Adventure Wedding series, set in the Italian Alps, and Mother Nature plays a bit part in the story! (my review)
One Snowy Day by Shari Low - I mean it even tells you about the weather in the title! (my review)
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - This one is set in winter in Norway! (my review)
Beartown by Fredrik Backman - It's ice hockey season in Sweden. Of course there's snow! (my review)
I only read Emily Wilde from your list, snowy books aren't usually for me. Especially not the popular stranded in trope.

Great selections, I very nearly added The Secret Christmas Library to my reading list this week but I’m trying to finish up some challenges
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to see the Northern Lights. Alas, every time it's supposed to be visible in Colorado it's cloudy or I'm working. Didn't see it when I went to Alaska either. Someday!
ReplyDeleteMy niece loves Iceland. I was there this summer for 30 minutes, LOL. It looks like they're on a cruise ship in that book.
I'm looking forward to reading Colgan's book. Looking at the hold time at my library, it may be spring before I get to read it.

What a great list! Off to read some of your reviews.
ReplyDeleteI think I would especially like Escape to the Northern Lights. I like the idea of a person unexpectedly going back to nature.
ReplyDeleteBear Town has been on so many lists this week!
ReplyDeleteEscape to the Northern Lights looks so cute!!
