Top 5 Wednesday

Top 5 Wednesday was originally created by Lainey from Gingerreadslainey and is now hosted by Sam from Thoughts on Tomes. There is a Goodreads group which lists the topics.  I will only be participating in this meme once a month.

This week’s topic is favorite Urban Fantasy books:

Goodreads defines urban fantasy as: “Urban fantasy is a subset of contemporary fantasy, consisting of magical novels and stories set in contemporary, real-world, urban settings.”

A Million Junes by Emily Henry
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

By that definition, the above books qualify as urban fantasy.

#SnowyDayReads

Today is day 1 of the Biannual Bibliothon and it also means day 1 of the blog challenges, reading challenges, video challenges, and Bookstagram challenges. Today’s challenge is hosted by Victoria from Latte Night Reviews and the challenge is to list snowy day reads.

Here is my list of snowy day reads:

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
The Mitten by Jan Brett
The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Whichwood by Tahereh Mafi
The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

In my honest opinion, no snowy day reading list is complete without classics like The Snowy DayA Christmas Carol, The Polar Express, and The Mitten!
