#Fridaynightshare Week 2 - Non-fiction- Winter

I had to choose The Library of Ice (despite choosing it last year 😅), as it had such an impact on me. It is a glorious homage to landscapes we must protect.

I really enjoyed this engrossing book on a cold climate. It's a perfect winter read, especially if you're tucked up nice and warm. ❄️ 📖❄️

A good idea to cover stories in cold climes. But I expected tighter essays or imaginatively linked observation. I did learn things though.

This was a fascinating book by the author of Fifty Words for Snow, a book that I know many Littens have loved.

In 2010 Campbell gave up her job and spent the next 7 years in artist residences, all connected with ice and snow, including in #greenland. #readingtheamericas23

There‘s a lot of information & it‘s quite a dense read but a very rewarding look that explores many different cultural perspectives on ice and snow.

Diverse look at ice from glaciers to musicians making music from ice recordings, Icelandic words, travel in the frozen North and Alaskan ice betting games. (Netgalley preview, full review on Librarything's book page)
