We haven't had our #FirstSnowOnBrooklyn yet, but the tagged book gives you an idea of where I'm going to plan to be when we do! 🏠🏃🌨️

#WinterWonderland #FirstSnowOnBrooklyn

If a tree grows there, why not a first snow fall? 😉

Melissa_J Your post is funny because I was just thinking about using this for the post, except editing the title 😂 6y
CrowCAH @Melissa_J hehe great minds think alike! 😁 6y
Cinfhen Lots of #Litsylove for this book 6y

One Cold Night | Katia Lief

This seems quite appropriate #FirstSnowOnBrooklyn

This is written by Kate Pepper, which is a pen name for Katie Lief. Having found it I am quite interested in reading it!
#WinterWonderland

Cinfhen Sounds creepy!! 6y
TrishB Think I‘ve read a couple of Lief. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 Sounds like one we need to read! 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Totally agree! 6y

Can't exactly remember whether there was #FirstSnowOnBrooklyn in this novel, but I think there was snow at some point and Brooklyn.

Gah! I'm reading too many books.

Chrissyreadit By any chance is there a Golem in it? 6y
Cinfhen I can‘t keep half my books straight either 6y

TrishB Not read this one either! 6y
julesG @Chrissyreadit No. But there's a golem in this series 6y
julesG @Cinfhen That's good. 6y
julesG @TrishB You need to catch up, the sequel came out in October. 6y
Chrissyreadit @julesG does it take place in NYC? 6y
julesG @Chrissyreadit The Last Magician? yes. The Bartimaeus Trilogy? No. It's London and Prague. I think they meet the Golem in Prague. 6y

Snow in August | Pete Hamill

I think this would count for the #firstsnowonbrooklyn most years. 😀 #winterwonderland @Cinfhen @TrishB

Cinfhen I was just thinking how much I enjoyed this book!!! I read it with my son a few years ago 6y
TrishB Not familiar with this one! 6y
Chrissyreadit @Lcsmcat @Cinfhen @TrishB I wonder if “Golem in NYC” can become a sub category for good reads. 🤔 6y

Whenever I hear the word Brooklyn I think of this book that has been on my shelf for years but I haven‘t read yet! 🙄 #firstsnowonbrooklyn Im determined to rectify that in the new year! 👍🏻 #winterwonderland

Amiable It's a wonderful book. 6y
laur89 One of those books I would‘ve never picked up if it weren‘t for a challenge, but I really liked it! I would re-read it for sure. 6y

― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

City on Fire | Garth Risk Hallberg

On a snowy New Years eve on Manhattan, a girl is shot in Central Park. I can‘t remember if it is the #FirstSnowOnBrooklyn this night, but I do remember the descriptions of the snow, the cold and the quiet city 🏙❄️🌨

#WinterWonderland

Cinfhen Oh, good memory!!! This was such a long read 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto How was this book? I‘ve always been curious about it, but the reviews are so mixed. 6y
TrishB This sounds good 👍🏻 6y

BarbaraBB Echoing @Ashley_Nicoletto , i am curious too! 6y
andrew61 Great choice, i read it last year and mainly remember the description of firework making. I enjoyed it. 6y
Kalalalatja @Ashley_Nicoletto @TrishB @BarbaraBB It was just okay for me. Like @Cinfhen says, it was too long, and had a lot going on. Some of the POVs were great, but others I didn‘t really connect to. I‘m glad I read it, so I could see what all the hype was about, but beyond that it was just okay 🤷‍♀️ @andrew61 Hallberg definitely knows how to write, he just needed a tougher editor, imo (edited) 6y
