A blizzard book would be good when you want to feel of Montana. I have never lived anywhere where it snows--only visited. So, my experience with that type of weather is mostly through books.

Isn't it funny though how we sometimes associate certain genres with certain seasons? Sometimes it's obvious--like Halloween and the spooky or scary reads, but other times it is less obvious. And it's so personal at that. It's not always the same for every individual.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-43760283945880161762018-02-10T16:36:19.469-08:002018-02-10T16:36:19.469-08:00Carole - Thank you!
