I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday: Books to Read During a Storm. I’ll read anything during a storm just like a beach read is any book I read at the beach or a Christmas book can be read during a July heatwave. Because I’ll read any book during a storm, I’ve tweaked this week’s prompt to “Books With Storms.”

โAh, how good it is to be among people who are reading.โ
~Rainer Maria Rilke
โI love the world of words, where life and literature connect.โ
~Denise J Hughes
โReading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones.โ
~Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
โI read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection! Books take us to places weโve never been, teach us about our world, and help us to understand human experience.โ

A memorable read! Thanks for commenting!
What a great list, Carol. Lots are Christmas stories, interesting. I’ve read all but 2 of these, I think and I enjoyed the ones I’ve read.
Thanks Carla! We read so many of the same books!
For me, a storm is a good reason to shut off from the rest of the world and read whatever book I grab! I love how you twisted this week’s topic.
