You've read some lovely winter books again, Claudia! I can't keep up 😁 I've seen the Winter Dictionary you mention quite often, it looks like a lovely book too. Last year I read A Woman in a Polar Night by Christiane Ritter, which I really enjoyed!

And, like you, I love this snowy period so much! So much beauty outside. Enjoy as long as you can ❄️ and when it’s over there will always be books…. 😊📚

It's beautiful, isn't it? ❄️😍 We even got more snow yesterday along with the storm. It's so amazing to finally experience more than a week of "real" winter here, it has become so rare. I enjoy every moment of it. 😊

Ah, yes, A Woman in a Polar Night. It has been on my reading list for quite a while now. I really must get round to reading it. 😃

Have a lovely, cosy, snowy weekend, Hilda! 💫

Yes, same here! And so rare indeed. Although in the rest of the Netherlands the snow seems to be gone. And I guess also in the North it will be gone after the weekend… Enjoy your weekend Claudia ❄️📚🕯️

It will be the same here after the weekend. But like you said, afterwards we still have books (and memories). 🥰📚❄️😊☃️

How lovely to see so much ❄️. It's just wet, cold and windy here now. Always interested in your book recommendation too Claudia and I love reading books that reflect the season we're in. Have a lovely weekend and stay cosy 💫

Thank you, Karen! It's so nice to have more than a week of "real" winter here now, we got even more snow yesterday. I'm enjoying it as long as it lasts. 😊 Have a lovely, relaxing weekend! ✨

What a beautiful picture of your garden. That's a lot of snow! Enjoy reading cozy books under a blanket with a cup of tea - it's the best winter activity 😊

I can't remember reading any wintery books in recent years, but it does seem like a nice thing to do, I once had a dream of moving to Alaska... Thank you for the recommendations!

You are welcome, Cheryl, thanks for reading. Alaska has fascinated me for a long time, too.

Thank you for your nature book reviews Claudia. I keep a list of books I want to read and I have added some of those. I too am really enjoying the back to nature genre at the moment.
