Winter Books That Are Not Cheesy (29 books)

Books for the winter, to immerse yourself in snowy landscapes and embrace the season. When I was looking for these types of books, I could only find lists with "Pumpkin spice restaurant" kind of titles - which is not what I was looking for. So no cheese in this list.
