Whiteout | Ken Follett

Whiteout is one of the #50wordsforsnow. And look, a Follett book under 500 pages! This one takes place during a blizzard on Christmas Eve so I may read it in a few weeks. ❄️ #winterwonderland ❄️

Cinfhen, TrishB

valeriegeary Next time we get a snow forecast (which might be never), I'm for sure grabbing this one to read! 😄 6y

BeADragon3 Reading my first Ken Follett book now and living it. Might have to pick this one up. Doesn't snow where I'm at, but maybe a good storm storm 😉 6y

Bklover I used to read all the Follett thrillers. Loved em! 6y

TrishB I‘ve never read his non history books! 6y

Cinfhen Sounds interesting and I bet it‘s really good #stacked 6y

Snowblind: A Thriller | Ragnar

#50wordsforsnow #winterwonderland
I was expecting dark nordic noir with this read set in an Icelandic town isolated by heavy snowfall and got quite a cosy crime read which would read well as the nights draw in. I lent it to my mum who then bought the rest if the series so i returned from last visit with all 4 - may read on soon.
I'll also tonight be hunting through my cds for my copy of this album - cosy crime and kate bush a perfect combination

Louise Thanks for this review. I‘m going to tell my mom about it. She loves Scandinavian crime novels! 6y

Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow | Peter H�eg

#50wordsforsnow This book set in Denmark and Greenland is full of snow. It starts so well with a good character, a gripping mystery and some fascinating stuff about Danish-Greenlandic relations but the plot is unbelievably silly by the end @TrishB @Cinfhen #winterwonderland

Cinfhen Lots of mixed opinions about this one ☝🏾 I might need to try it for myself 😉 6y

Moray_Reads @Cinfhen I liked it so much at the beginning and then it all became too thriller-y for me. And the solution to the mystery was utterly ludicrous add far as I was concerned. Lauded by reviewers though! 6y

Cinfhen Your cover is extra special too!!! This book seems to be a love it/hate it 6y

TrishB It‘s on my tbr and it definitely is a love/hate! Have you read @Cinfhen ? 6y

Cinfhen No, I had it on my TBR @TrishB but Stephanie ( @Reviewsbylola HATED it) so I took it off my TBR, but now I‘m curious so back on it goes!!! #ThatsHowIRoll 😘😘 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen I got a copy for giving money to charity 😁 every review is different - so I go hot and cold! 6y

Kalalalatja I‘ll be excited to see what you guys think @Cinfhen and @TrishB even though he is a Danish author, I have nevet read him, but he is very popular in Denmark, too! 6y

Leniverse I loved the first half, but the second half was like a completely different genre! I felt about as lost as when I watched From Dusk Till Dawn and it suddenly became a vampire flick. 😂 @TrishB @Cinfhen I think it‘s worth reading just for that first half, and then just get ready to do a lot of eye rolling when it goes from detective/social novel to James Bond. 6y

BarbaraBB @Leniverse @moray_reads Me too, I LOVED the first half and then it went downhill. I shouldn‘t try @trishb @Cinfhen 6y

Moray_Reads @BarbaraBB it was so interesting at the start and by the end it was hard to believe I was reading the same book! 6y

Cinfhen Looks like we might have to #BuddyRead @TrishB 😊😘 but maybe only the first half @BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja @Leniverse @Moray_Reads 6y

Cinfhen Like your photo @Leniverse 💕🙌🏻 6y

Leniverse @Cinfhen Thank you! 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen 😂😂 we‘ll get the page number and finish before it goes down hill! 6y

Melissa_J Such a pretty cover. 6y

Reviewsbylola Good luck!! 😆 @Cinfhen 6y

writerlibrarian Well... i loved this one all of it. But YMMV. 6y

Cinfhen @KarenUK posted something similar and I wonder which author came first?!? Either way both quotes are beautiful xx 6y

andrew61 One of the new yorker podcasts recently was a Margaret atwood short story in which a widow on a cruise, meets a man she had gone to prom with 40+ yrs before, in the Arctic stop amidst the snow she exacts revenge - its a great story but definitely in contradiction to the quote 😂 6y

batsy Nice 🙌🏽 6y

LeahBergen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6y

merelybookish @andrew61 Maybe Atwoods own feelings about snow have changed as she's aged. 6y
