Listopia > Best Winter Fiction

This list is only for the BEST books set in winter time. So don't add just any book set in snowy scenery or during Christmas time. So absolutely NO DUMB Chick-flick-insta-love-half-baked-story-garbage. Please only add books that you have rated at least 3-stars and want to share with everyone.

Winter books in IMHO are books that at least include a nice cosy winter/Christmas part. It doesn't necessarily have to take place all in winter (though the more winter scenes the better:)

Thank you for voting and contributing :)
