Connect Five Friday - Snowed In

The Friday Five Link Up is a List Link Up hosted by The Book Date. It can be five connections of any kind. Books can have been read last year or any year. Books can be used more than once. They may not have been read yet. . . It can be as simple or as complicated as you like. Maybe it's not a list of actual books, but things connected to books - e.g. favourite book shops, recipes etc. It might even be five movies related to books or five poems or five poets or five bookish moments, five thoughts about reading - be creative! The link-up will be open each Friday and will close on Thursday. Use the hashtag #connect5books

This has been a rather unusual February, with very mild weather. Usually we have snow and the coldest temperatures of the winter during this month, and if we're going to get a big snowstorm, my money is on February. Even though I haven't got snow on the ground at present, I've found five books in my stacks in which the plot involves a snowstorm and characters snowed in or forced together by the winter weather.

The Blizzard Bride by Susanne Dietze - Abby is a schoolteacher in Nebraska, and Dash is a government agent. They are working together to identify a dangerous counterfeiter when the sudden snowstorm known as the Children's Blizzard strikes. (Read my full review HERE)

Silent in the Sanctuary: A Lady Julia Grey Mystery by Deanna Raybourn - During a house party at Lady Julia's family home, a guest is murdered in the chapel. Julia and Brisbane begin investigating immediately, and a heavy snowfall that same night confines all of them to the building for a few days. (Read my full review HERE)

A Christmas Homecoming by Anne Perry - In this novella, Caroline Fielding is spending the holidays with her husband and his theater troupe, who are preparing a stage adaptation of a play when they are snowed in. A stranger seeks shelter during the storm and is later found murdered. (Read my full review HERE.)

When Love Comes My Way by Lori Copeland - A businesswoman on her way to see the logging operation she has just inherited is the only survivor of a wagon accident and has lost her memory. The manager of the logging camp thinks at first that she is the teacher they were expecting. Before communications can be sent out, severe winter weather cuts off travel in and out of the camp for quite awhile - and romance blooms. (Read my full review HERE)

Snow Angel by Jamie Carey is on my To Read Someday List. Here's the blurb:

When Noah Wesley heard the faint sound outside the door of his remote Alaskan mountain cabin during a violent nighttime blizzard, it was no less than the voice of God that urged him to take a closer look, soon to discover his snow angel.Unconscious and more than half frozen to death . . . Elizabeth [was] intent on discovering gold like so many others in that region during the late 1800s.
