I’m listening to The Frozen River right now! I recommend the coming of age graphic novel Blankets by Craig Thompson. I recently read Weyward by Emilia Hart and loved it and the big climax is during a blizzard. The Girl Who Speaks Bear by Sophie Anderson has a wonderful wintry setting. It would be perfect to read for Middle Grade March. For winter films I love Beautiful Girls. Yes, it has some problematic storylines, but when snow plow driver Michael Rapaport cries his eyes out while plowing the snow from his ex-girlfriend’s driveway, I lose it. I’ll also recommend Kenneth Branaugh’s A Midwinter’s Tale. Putting on a Shakespeare play in an old Church during Christmas? Yes, please.
You know I'm going to love this seasonal chat, and I hope you do one for every season! I'm in. I dropped the Frozen River like a bad habit, also DNF. Have you read "The Snow Child?" All the feels. A truly beautiful story. And in the thriller category--No Exit. Insanely good.
I got Frozen River as my Book of the Month. I was so excited to see it there - The Midwife's Tale, the history book that Laurel Ulrich Thatcher wrote about Martha Ballard, is one of the books that changed how I read and thought about history.
Though her books happen through all the seasons, have your read Louise Penny's Garmache series? I feel like they are the perfect reading for February and March because no matter the season in Three Pines, you would like to be there!
