Winter Wonderland Book Tag

Hello, Lovelies, and welcome back! It’s been cold and snowy in Ohio, which means it’s time for The Winter Wonderland Book Tag. This tag was created by I’m All Booked Up and, unfortunately, I cannot find the blog to tag the original creator. The rules are simple: answer the prompts and tag other bloggers, which I won’t be doing. If you’d like to join in, please feel free to create your own post or leave your answers in the comments as I would love to see your answers.

 

Now, on to the Winter Wonderland Book Tag

 

 

1) Look out the window, it’s snowing! Find a book with snow on the cover.

 

The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley 

A group of friends stranded in the Scottish Highlands while a murderer is on the loose makes this the perfect winter thriller.

 

2) The fire is roaring in the fireplace. Pick a cozy read to enjoy by the warmth of the fire.

The Cowboy Cookie Challenge 

by Lori Wilde (Twilight, Texas #16) This was such a cute and cozy holiday romance.

 

3) Winter is time for outdoor sports. Find a book that features a winter sport.

 

Puck and Prejudice by Lia Riley 

As soon as I heard about this one, I was intrigued. While it’s on my TBR list, I’ve not started it yet so here’s the blurb…

 

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a modern single man in possession of a hockey jersey may be exactly what a Regency woman needs to avoid the shackles of marriage...

 

Goalie for the Austin Regals, Tucker Taylor is benched due to health issues. So he decides to visit his sister in England. But an accidental plunge into an icy pond thrusts him back to 1812 where he comes face to face with a captivating blue-eyed woman who regards him as if he’s grown two heads.

 

Lizzy Wooddash dreams of a life surrounded by books, engaging conversation, the presence of literary icons like Jane Austen, and... nary a husband in sight. But in Regency England, only widows like her cousin Georgie enjoy freedom and solitary pursuits, unencumbered by expectations. The only way to quickly become a widow is by marrying a dying man or killing a perfectly healthy one, neither of which Lizzy desires.

 

A visitor from the future might just be the husband of her dreams. Once married, they can figure out how to return Tucker to his proper time, and his absence—aka death—will make Lizzy the widow she always dreamed of becoming. Yet as sparks ignite, they soon realize that matters of the heart rarely adhere to carefully laid plans. Can their love stand the test of time, or will Lizzy get exactly what she wanted...as well as a broken heart?

 

4) Winter means the start of a new year. What is one book that is on your TBR list this year?

Oh my goodness, I have so many books on my 2024 TBR that I haven’t read but if I had to pick just one I think it would be The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness. I’m itching to read this book but, at the same time, I’m wanting to wait until there’s another book from the All Souls Series on the horizon as it’s a series I’m not ready to say goodbye to.

 

5) If you’re not careful, winter weather fun can cause frostbite. Pick one book that was a major disappointment.

Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch  

Normally I love her historicals, but this one was just an odd book that didn’t find its footing.

 

6) But by going outside, you can find comfort in a warm beverage. What is your go-to comfort book that never fails to cheer you up?

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte will forever be my London Fog, my cozy sweater, and warm blanket. I absolutely love everything about the classic.

 

 

7) Winter comes to an end and spring emerges. Name a book that you want to read before springtime?

There’s so many…but I’m eager to read A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene. It’s been sitting on my TBR stand just begging me to pick it up and, as it’s an Irish Folk Fantasy, it seems fitting to read as spring emerges.
