- The most colourful book on your shelves
A festival of colour celebrating the end of the winter and the colourful season ahead.
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
There are so many to choose from, but I really love this cover, so I would go with this one as the most colourful!
- A book including or about a big family gathering
The Persian New Year involves several days of celebrations and family gatherings
Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
At the top of my head, this book comes to mind. I am yet to read it, but I know it is about family.
- A book that you consider a modern classic
A popular modern tradition to stand atop the pyramid on the Spring Equinox and soak up the sun’s first rays of the morning
Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
Definitely Everything I Never Told You or Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng to me feel like modern classics. Her writing and storytelling are simply amazing, at least to me!
- A book set on or around winter
A ceremony of cleansing and renewal. The biggest draw for tourists is the giant water fight.
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
I have not read the book yet, but have seen the 2019 movie adaptation, and it was winter.
- A book with flowers on the cover
A yearly tradition around enjoying the transient beauty of cherry blossoms
The Forgetting by Hannah Beckerman
This book comes to mind; it is on my TBR!
- A book with a good mystery
Druids and pagans gather in their hundreds to celebrate the Spring Equinox. Though most historians are fairly confident that it was likely a religious site, no one is quite certain of what Stonehenge actually is.
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
With a risk of being repetitive I just love this book and need to finish the series!
