This week I'm combining two weekly Tuesday memes:
Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. For info on TMST click HERE.
This week's topic: What is your least favorite thing about winter?
I don't mind the cold, but honestly in Northern California we don't get the bitter cold with temps below zero hardly ever or at all (average high & low 53/34 for winter), so there is that.
My least favorite thing about winter is that lack of blooming flowers. The garden is sparse and a lot of trees are bare, but I know this is a time of replenishing, building snow pack, water stores, and a rest for all things growing.
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Artsy Reader where each week they post a new top ten list and ask fellow bookish folk to share their lists on that topic.
This week the theme is for Top Ten Tuesday is: 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To:

What is your least favorite thing about winter?
I love Winter time. But we don't get much snow here. lol
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your thought about it being the blooming and for me also fresh vegetables that I dislike about winter.
ReplyDeleteI have read the Shalvis, Slaughter, Gardner an Pekkanan books. I highly recommend especially the Slaughter and Gardner books but I enjoyed them all.
Anne - Books of My Heart
In January, we got snow and bitter cold here in Virginia, more of each than we have seen in several years. And today, it's 66, which is pleasant but unseasonably high. I should go out for a walk!
ReplyDeleteI did want to read the The Summer Escape this year, but I didn't get around to it either. Some of your thrillers look good, too, though I'm always cautious with thrillers; some can be too dark or anxiety-inducing for me. Anyway, I hope you're able to read some of these in 2025!
For me it's the cold. I'm the Bay Area, but still winter can get cool. I also guess it's the rainy season too for winter. I just don't care for overcast weather. This year has been a bit colder then usually with frost warnings.
ReplyDeleteSome great books on your list. For me I still haven't read Bloodguard, The Games Gods Play, Gilded Wings, The Lovely Dark, and many more from 2024 releases. All on the list. ^_^
Happy Reading!
I hope you like all of them!
ReplyDeleteI’m not a big fan of winter, but having a break from seasonal allergies is really nice.
I liked both The Gathering and Daughter of Mine. I thought they were fun suspenseful reads. And my least favorite things about winter are the gloomy gray skies where the sun never comes out...and shoveling snow! But I haven't had to do any of that this winter, so that's good. :D
ReplyDeleteYessssss! It's the lack of flowers for me too. Blooms make me happy and I struggle with winter.
ReplyDeleteThe bitter cold is my least favorite.

I’m curious about House of Glass.
ReplyDeleteThe dry air bothers me about winter!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
