“Smila’s sense of snow” by Peter Hoeg is an amazing winter book if u haven’t read it yet. Also the “Migrations” by Charlotte McConaghy. What i am currently reading is “fifteen million years in Antarctica” by Rebecca Priestley. It’s promising!
Hi Eric! I read the Winter Soldier by Daniel Mason and absolutely loved it. His writing is so resonant. I also read his book The Piano tuner (loved this one even more). I am gifting Small things like these (Claire Keegan) which I believe is also a good winter read.
When you were telling about The Snow Geese, my first thought was 'that sounds like The Wonderful Adventures of Nils for a grown-up audience' (Nils is a book by Selma Lagerlöf written for Swedish children) - and then your last book was by Selma Lagerlöf herself! I loved Nils when I read it as a kid! His journey with the snow geese is more direct, as he gets shrunk to tiny size and gets to ride on their backs as they migrate north.
I have been thinking about reading The Winter Soldier ever since I finished North Woods, and your description only made me more eager to do so. Also quite keen to read the new Andrew Miller novel. It sounds wonderful. And so does vanilla chai tea!
I’ve just bought The Land in Winter, looking forward to that. Winter books I would recommend are: Woman in the Polar Night by Christiane Ritter The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy
Hello Eric 🙋♀️ I have also visited the Bronte Parsonage. I rode on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway🚂 It was a dream of mine to visit the Home of the Bronte Sisters, and it was fascinating. I spent 3 hours there... The Novels of the Bronte Sisters are ideal winter ❄️ reading 📚 HAPPY READING CHRISTMAS 🎄📚
Stillicide is a brilliant, bite-sized book. I still think about it often and have mentioned it to you a couple of times. You really should read it. Incredibly impactful.
Read Stillicide based off Simon Savage ( I feel I misspelled that ) review & mannn it was disturbingly believable. Climate ( future non ) fiction is my most read genre . I’m like that’s good and bad it’s its own genre …. Blahdiggityblah 📖 🪱 💚
