What is your nor'easter / blizzard reading selection?

Where I live we're in for a whopper. Well - it might be a whopper. Predictions have fluctuated from two inches to "historic proportions" for four days now.

I'm going to hunker down with one of Stephen King's new ones, Billy Summers, a Christmas gift.

Stay warm, safe, and keep your power on if you're affected.

14--24" expected here. I just started The Lions of Fifth Avenue. Good thing I have a lot of books waiting in the wings!

Funny I just finished Lions! I enjoyed it but I did like The Address more! Stay warm and happy reading!

i'm one of the very, very lucky ones who lives in eastern Connecticut. Our local weather forecaster is saying 18" and up! Ugh! It seems like will be snowed in for the weekend.

Two feet is predicted here.

As a New Englander, snow is always expected and we've learned to live with it. What has gotten more challenging in the last few decades is the loss of power. Running out to the car to warm up my fur daughter for a bit has worn thin.

I always worry about those who have medical conditions and who live alone. I hope neighbors will check on others to ensure everyone is safe.

Spring can't come fast enough!

Just finished Brad Taylor's End of Days. First book of his I didn't really like. It was too hard to get in to.

I'm doing a fast read - Danielle Steel's Flying Angels. It is good and can be finished in 2 days.

Just picked up 3 books yesterday at the library so next up to start today is either going to be Greenwich Park or Desolation Canyon. The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis has been shipped and will probably be ready to pick up Monday. Looking forward to that one. @bargainsgirl and @judy0330 I also read her The Lions of Fifth Avenue and enjoyed it.

@PilatesLover Good choice. I really enjoyed Billy Summers. A little slow in the beginning, but stick with it.

I am going to read A Letter From Nana Rose.

Truly enjoyed Billy Summers.

Same here. I just saw an update that my county is supposed to get the worst of it. Oh well - at least next week it will be in the 40s so it will melt faster than usual.

I just started reading Matthew McConaughey's book Greenlights. So far it's quite interesting as he is an interesting character to say the least. I'll most likely be reading quite a bit tomorrow as we do tend to lose power here in 50 MPH wind gusts.

Blizzard conditions are forecasted for the whole day saturday and we too are in the 18-24 inch range.

Six to ten inches in my section of New Jersey. But I don't think they are sure. It might be much worse.

I'm in the suburbs of Washington, DC (MD) and we got spared. 1-3 inches!

Trying to finish up 500+ pages of Barbara Delinsky's Before and Again. It's from 2018 and it's an ARC so not sure if that was the final page count after publishing. It's taking me longer than my average 3-4 days. It's fast moving though and I've always enjoyed her books.

Stay safe and warm everyone who's getting walloped with the Nor'easter!
