    Nice list! I also loved The Endless Steppe as a child and Breadcrumbs by Ursu is great too!

    I loved The Long Winter (and all the other Little House books), I can’t count how many times I’ve read it! :) Great list!

      The Little House books (especially the first one) were favorites of mine, too. :)

    That is a nice list! I remember reading a couple of them, and falling in love. I also like the book, Gideon’s Gift, by Karen Kingsbury.

    Ooh… Have you read Breadcrumbs? I’m curious about that one – I’ve seen it before. Thanks so much for hosting (permanently) the Kid Lit Blog Hop! :)

      I see you have it as the book of the week – does that mean you are currently reading it?

      • Katie January 23, 2013 at 10:18 am #

        Usually the Book of the Week is just a book that I’m recommending that week – but in this case, yes, I am currently reading it!

    Thanks for such a cosy winter reads list. I am very interested in Icefall and Because of Mr Terupt, I have read lots of rave reviews. Thanks so much for visiting and hopping over to my blog this morning. Great to hear you have joined as a permanent host on the hop. Looking forward to your reviews and recommendation. Best Wishes, Julie

    These look great! I haven’t heard of some of these, but I just recently read and reviewed “Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow.” I loved it, and I agree that it was a great winter read!

    I will have to add some of these to my wishlist. Now I want to read “Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow. Thanks! Hopping on the Kid Lit Blog Hop!

    Great list and a few I haven’t yet read (I do love winter books!) I also enjoyed Trapped by Michael Northrup – great for teens with adventure/survival.
