I'm dying to read No Exit by Taylor Adams, soon to be released as an original movie on Hulu. The main character is Darby, a college student on her way home when a blizzard strands her at a rest stop in Colorado. Inside the rest stop are 4 strangers, one of whom she soon learns has a little girl in a cage in the back of their van. With no cell service or help on the way, what will she do and how will she save the little girl? Which stranger is the kidnapper and how far will they go to stop Darby?
You can buy a copy for yourself and read along with me in just a few clicks. Here's the link to the wintery book list I made. Lots of great reads here, perfect for snuggling up!

Happy reading!

Brrrrr! It's that time of year when all you want to do is get snuggly next to the fire, grab something hot to drink, and warm up under a blanket to enjoy a good book. These books are all set in cold, snowy locations, so bundle up!

A person who had never listened to nor read a tale or myth or parable or story, would remain ignorant of his own emotional and spiritual heights and depths, would not know quite fully what it is to be human.

Books hold most of the secrets of the world, most of the thoughts that men and women have had. And when you are reading a book, you and the author are alone together -- just the two of you.
