Snowy Days!

Since we seem to be getting so much of the white stuff this year, I decided it was time to make a list of all of my favorite books to snuggle up with. I've been asking around for every ones fav book that they can just never get tired of reading. Some surprised me, some I had on my list too and others I had never read. I'm interested to see yours!
If you love quirky mysterys like One for the Money by Janet Evanovich, then you would appreciate J. A. Konrath's, Jacqueline Daniels Mysterys. With titles like Whiskey Sour and Bloody Mary, how can you go wrong? They are laugh out loud funny with great characters and amusing situations, they are sure to pass the day along. And they include drink recipes to keep you extra warm!
Another one of my favorite books to read is Hope for Flowers by Trina Paulus. I can read this book over and over again and I always fall in love with the story each time. It's a whimsical story with wonderful illustrations about two caterpillars that discover what is truly important in life and the power of love and friendship. Along the same lines as Hope for Flowers, is the whole, awesome collection of Shel Silverstein. I just love every single collection of his and just began reading them to my two girls at bedtime. They are so into the silly poems and look forward to reading them together as a family. This is a great way to introduce poetry to your kids especially when you are snowed in! The website has some fun games and printables too!
So what's your best snowed in book? Here's what people had to say -
1. Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats  - "This has always been a favorite to read when it's snowing for my kids."
2. The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon -  While all seven books are filled with fascinating history and rich stories, the character Jamie Fraser is single-handedly responsible for jump starting the libidos of so many women. Diana is one of the greatest storytellers and will always keep you warm and cozy on those cold days!
3. Anything Rumi by Rumi - Beautiful collections of poetry that portrays love at its best and worse and everything in between. It's always a good time to flip through and read.
4. Four Past Midnight by Stephen King - "I really enjoyed this collection..Four stories that will keep you terrified and wanting more."
5. Sophie Kinsella! "I just can't get enough of this guilty pleasure!"
6. Scott Pilgrim's V#1 Precious Little Life by Brian Lee O'Malley - "Lots of pop culture and video game references especially those growing up in the 80's. It's a trip reading these."
7. Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien -  A timeless series that is a MUST read at some point in your life so if you haven't yet, when you're snowed in would be the perfect time to dig in!
