Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books to Read During a Storm (these can be cozy/comfy reads, books with storms in them, atmospheric reads for dark and stormy nights, light reads to combat the heavy weather, etc.) (Submitted by Astilbe.)
For my first three choices I thought I would share some books that have components of storms in the title. If there is a storm happening around you, there may be wind, there may be thunder and there may be rain. There could be other things, but let's start with those:
He Shall Thunder in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters - As a bonus this cover also has some lightning on it!
Ill Wind by Rachel Caine - Rachel Caine has a whole series of books called Weather Wardens where all the titles are weather related.
The Right Attitude to Rain by Alexander McCall Smith - This is one of the Isabel Dalhousie which is set in Edinburgh, so I imagine you would need to be used to rain!
And now lets move onto books with stormy titles.
Flowers from the Storm by Laura Kinsale - A romance classic from the early 1990s!
Firestorm by Rachel Caine - This is another book in the Weather Wardens series.
Storm Front by Jim Butcher - Apparently I read this in 2008 and again in 2011 - who knew! I certainly didn't remember that!
The Night They Stormed Eureka by Jackie French - I recently started reading another Jackie French book but didn't get very far before I had to return the book to the library!
Season of Storms by Susanna Kearsley - Never miss an opportunity to get a Susanne Kearsley book into the a TTT post!
A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin - this is the third book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, more commonly known as the Game of Thrones books.
The Storm Sister by Lucinda Riley - The second book in the Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. I am currently listening to the seventh book in the series.
A great collection of titles! I'm not familiar with any of these, but the titles fit your needs perfectly.

DeleteI like how you first broke up the storm into its component parts! Clever!
ReplyDeleteIt made sense to me to do it that way!
DeleteThis was a fun twist! Some storm winds can be really strong!
ReplyDeleteThey definitely can!
DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!
DeleteI tried to do winter storms as my first sort and then figured out I haven't read any. Ha! Fun list.
ReplyDeleteMy books which include snowy scenes
I would probably be looking for summer storms!
DeleteA clever way of building a stormy book list!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
