I didn’t get around to this topic. I wasn’t sure I could find 10.
I added a picture book to get to 10! lol! D
Fab choices, Carol. I’ve also got Narnia, and two Julie Caplin books on my list!
Fun! ❄️
Love your selection. Julie Caplin has been on most lists I’ve seen so far!
Scottish Castle is in your neck of the woods!
These look good. I love a snowy setting. I have The Christmas Castle in Scotland on my TBR shelves!
Have a great week!

Christmas Castle was a fun read! Hopping over to read your post…..
I have high hopes for it. Hopefully I can get it read soon! I have quite a few books coming up in January so I will be starting those soon to make sure I get them read in time!

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was on my list, too!

A classic!

Here’s my TTT post – https://justreadjessie.blog/2025/12/09/top-ten-tuesday-books-set-in-snowy-places/
It’s a great story!
I love that you and Lisa both included Snowy Day. It is a classic! I love all these covers, but now I feel cold.
lol it was 84* F here today! 🥵
Oh, I wish. It was only 19 here. (-7 C)
🥶
I love books with beautiful snowy covers, Carol, but actually hate the cold! I love he cover of the Pamela Kelley book. 💖📚
Fun to look at but not live in!
I know I love COVERS with snowy themes! “The Good House” by Ann Leary and “What Happened to the McCrays” by Tracey Lange come to mind! Yellow houses and snow! Another snowy setting book I enjoyed was “Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone” by Benjamin Stephenson. And Narnia, of course!
Good ones Susan! ❄️
I love good snow-themed kids books — great to see Snowy Day here! And I remember how intense reading The Long Winter was for the first time!
I’ve read several Julie Caplin books but not the one you have shared on your list!
It’s tbr worthy!
Some real classics–we both had some of the same titles this week. I love The Snowy Day!
I love kid lit!
Narnia is an inspired choice
I absolutely love that starter picture.
And I also had The Long Winter on my list:
