Top Five Wednesday - Rainy Day Reads

This week on Top Five Wednesday I wasn't sure how to interpret the topic. What are rainy day reads? I don't know. This week I decided Rainy Day Reads are books I could read in one sitting or books that I read on a rainy day. These could also be books I think would be great to read a large chunk of in one day even if you don't finish it. Top Five Wednesday was created by Lainey, but she has passed the torch to Sam from Thoughts on Tomes! Both of them are lovely. Check out the Goodreads group for topics or more details.

1) Storm by Brigid Kemmerer - This is one of my favorite paranormal romance series right now. The books are really fun, easy to read, and I love to sit down to read them in one sitting. A rainy day would be the perfect atmosphere to submerge yourself in this element-powers based series.

2) The Accident Season by Moira Fowley-Doyle - I got completely lost in this book and spent several hours listening to the end of the audiobook because I needed to know what happened. So reading this during a rainy day sounds like a good idea.

3) Wait for You by J. Lynn  - This is a great contemporary. It is Armentrout's addicting writing mixed with a compelling story. I couldn't put it down and it gave me all the emotions.

4) The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman - You could read this in one sitting. I would love to reread this on a rainy day! Such a great magical realism story!

5) Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke - Go read this graphic novel! It is super cute and easy to read. It is all fun and games.

    

Top Five Books to Read by the Fire (Top Five Wednesday)

At my house we have a wood stove. I absolutely love it too. It makes the entire house warmer, but on cold weekend afternoons it is lovely to read (or sleep) by the fire. I love to get lost in books while sitting in that room while I'm warm and relaxed. These are the books I recommend curling up by the fire with.

1) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - When I was reading Claire's adventure in Outlander, I was completely obsessed with this book. I could not put it down even though it is a large book. I definitely could see myself reading a huge chunk while sitting by my fireplace.

2) Frigid by J. Lynn - This book is really easy to get wrapped on in. It is a little cheesey and predictable, but I still love it. I read this book in one sitting and since it it set during a blizzard, it is perfect to read by the fire.

3) The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman - This is a story featuring magical realism and was easy to got lost in. Plus it is very short so you could hang out by the fire and read this in one evening.

4) Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers - This historical fiction is feisty and fun. The characters are really intriguing and the rest of the series is just as good. I want to curl up with this massive book again soon!

5) Sabriel by Garth Nix- I would recommend listening to listening to this audiobook while curled up by the fire. The audiobooks for this series are fantastic, but I can't guarantee Tim Curry's voice won't put you to sleep in that situation! It is so soothing.
