Baby, It's Cold Outside Display
January 6, 2024 Reading Room Library Staff
Winter is coming! Well, actually--it's already here. And with our first snowstorm of the season approaching, this is a great time to come in and check out a pile of books. Why not embrace the season and take a look at our "Baby, It's Cold Outside" display. You'll find lots of books that feature a cold climate or are set in winter.
If you like mysteries and thrillers, there are plenty to choose. Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" is a classic with a snowy setting. "Crossed Skis" by Carol Carnac is a British mystery with an alpine setting. "Smilla's Sense of Snow" by Peter Hoeg, "Snowblind" by Ragnar Jonasson, and "The Ice Princess" by Camilla Lackberg will scratch that Nordic noir itch.
If you're a sci fi fan, check out "The City in the Middle of the Night" by Charlie Jane Anders. Naomi Novik's "Spinning Silver" is another possibility. You can also try "The Snow Queen" by Joan Vinge.
If you're looking for something in general fiction, "Snow Falling on Cedars" by David Guterson and "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazier are popular titles. "The Bellweather Rhapsody" by Kate Racculia is excellent. If you're looking for historic fiction, Jennifer Laam's "The Lost Season of Love and Snow" or Greer Macallister's "The Arctic Fury" are great choices.
