Reading to Oblivion
Last week a blog I subscribe to listed: 15 Crime Books Perfect for a Winter Day. Instead of bewailing the weather, checking the latest dire report, seeing my car disappear under a white down of snow, I recognized nirvana.
I borrowed the first book on the list—Snowman by Jo Nesbo. Instead of worrying about additional snow, I found myself swept up in a fast paced story. And a snowman plays a role. Rather than escape to a tropical climate where snow is only found in a crossword puzzle, I remained in the cold. Snowman's setting— Norway.
Following each clue, trying to untangle the web of the story, I hunker down for long reads.
As soon as I heard about more snow coming this weekend, I sought out a library copy of the second book on the list.
Total immersion in books. Bibliotherapy for the winter.

Oh Linda,
I am on my third mystery since the last storm. Knitting the prayer shawl I owe Marcia is on my to do list for this blizzard!
