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 Books With Weather Events in the Title or on the Cover:
This prompt was harder than I thought it would be, only because I wanted to list some variety. I can't tell you how many books in my "Read" list that contained the word "storm"! I exercised some restraint and listed only one. I've read all the books pictured below:

Sandra Brown is the queen of romantic suspense/mysteries. Remember loving Chill Factor, although I listened to it years ago. She kept me guessing at every turn!
Of course, I had to list Storm Cursed because Mercy Thompson! One of my all-time favorite series!
I love survival in the face of bleak weather conditions and Whiteout was so good!
I read Tempest in 2011 after winning it in a Goodreads giveaway! Do you ever read your older reviews? Sometimes I cringe. This one wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Wolf Rain by Nalini Singh is one of my favs in her Psy-Changling Trinity series.
Trapped by a dangerous storm in the Teton Mountains, our heroine in Black Ice is forced to serve as guide down the mountain by a couple of villains. So good! I read this back in 2014 but I guess I didn't review it. I did attend the author event for it back then and wrote about it and the inspiration behind the book on The Readers Den, where I used to blog.
I loved Jo Goodman's Cowboys of Colorado series. A western historical romance, A Touch of Frost is the first book in the series.
These next ones are weather events on the cover:

The Christmas Escape displays a winter wonderland. One of my favorites from Sarah Morgan!
Lightening on Out of Nowhere.
The Dry represents the dangerous drought conditions described in the story. A great series!
I read about Tempest back when it was a newer release! Even though it wasn't one I read, it's funny how familiar a book can be even if we haven't read it. All due to social media hype I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was big back when it came out. I loved it, but never finished the series.
DeleteThat Storm Cursed cover is intriguing! Here's my TTT: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2023/10/17/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-weather-events-in-the-title-toptentuesday/
ReplyDeleteIt was sooo good! Part of one of my all-time favorite series!
DeleteFun seeing your picks, Rachel! I've had Whiteout sitting on my shelf for a while now but have not got to it yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tanya! I hope you enjoy it if you ever pick it up. :)
DeleteStorm Cursed has such a cool cover .
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Lydia
I agree!
DeleteHi, Rachel! I put Whiteout on my list this week, too. :D And I love the cover of The Christmas Escape. My library has that one so I might be checking it out this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike! :) The Christmas Escape is one of my favorite from Morgan! I highly recommend it.
DeleteYou win for the ones I've seen today as I've read 6 of these. Many of the others I haven't read any.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
I'm not surprised since we seem to love the same books! :)
DeleteAll of these are perfect for today, but I especially like the Tempest cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a good story too! I never finished the series.
DeleteAn interesting list. I struggled with this prompt. I didn't think I would 🤣
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I know, it seems like it would be an easy one and it would've been if I wanted to use "storm" in all my choices, lol! You too!
DeleteYou did a good job finding books to fit the theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary! It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
DeleteWhiteout has been on my list for a while, and love the cover of Tempest! Chill Factor makes me cold just looking at it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to pick up Whiteout someday. I actually think Tempest would be a really fun read for you! Same! :)
DeleteThe tempest is a good one. Such a unique weather event.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam!
DeleteI am not sure if I have read Chill Factor or not. I wish that I had kept track of my reading before Goodreads.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Carole. There are a bunch of books I've read that are not on GRs. All the Agatha Christie books that I read as well as ones like Preston Child, Patricia Cornwell, Baldacci and others. I'd add them, but I don't know how to rate each one because I can't remember the plots from so long ago.
DeleteI need to get caught up on Mercy Thompson one of these days.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great series to binge!
DeleteOooh! I need to read Patricia Briggs' books again! Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my TTT
Rabbit Ears Book Blog: WORLD’S WEIRDEST BOOK BLOG!
Yes! They're wonderful!
DeleteThis is a fun one! Add Mindy Mejia's latest To Catch a Storm into the fray. It is also a great thriller!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check it out!
DeleteGreat choices. I loved Storm Cursed and Wolf Rain.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice variety of weather-themed books you found!
ReplyDeleteGood job with the theme
