Some book recommendations for my Alps/ skiing holiday!

[PARunnerGirl]

I’m looking some good fiction for my ski trip. Perfect for snuggling up in the chalet with after a day skiing. Nothing too strenuous but nothing too mindless. Maybe along the lines of Chocolat but extra points for wintery or snowy or alpine-y vibe!

This is going to Hurt, Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor was a great read. Not so much like Chocolat but might be worth a go?
Have a great trip.

Haha @skilover ! Have you just jinxed me and wished a ski injury upon me?!

This was actually a recent suggestion at my book club so I might give it a go

@PARunnerGirl Not at all!!! Please don't hurt yourself (I am currently sitting with miniscus tear in knee after a ski accident last weekend). Book is mainly about Obs & Gynae and is very funny and deeply moving. I found you can pick it up and put it down quite easily, perfect after a long day on the slopes. Enjoy you holiday and the book!

You could maybe try 5 Great Books set in Ski Resorts? ???www.tripfiction.com/five-great-books-set-in-ski-resorts/ and there are more on a Pinterest Board marked at the end....

Ouch @skilover! I hope you are on the mend.

The Chalet School!

The Mountain by Luca D'Andrea and Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse are both set in the Alps I think and good.

The Snow Child is lovely.

@Skilover .... I'm hoping to be too busy skiing, drinking and eating on my sk8 holiday next week, but nevertheless i downloaded Secrets of a Junior Doctor after seeing your recommendation and I just wanted to thank you. I'm only a couple of chapters in and it has had me rolling around laughing and then slack jawed in disbelief of what these Doctors are expected to do day in day out - a real eye opener. But he has a wonderful way of writing, and I'm loving it. Suspect it will be finished before I even get on the plane! Thank you for the suggestion (even though I'm not the OP)

Oh and I forgot to say sorry about your injury and hope your making a good recovery

@Thunderpunt you are so very welcome. I loved it, it is hilarious and thought provoking equal measure. Have a great trip. Conditions are fab out there. 😀😀

Maybe don't read Jo Nesbo's The Snowman. It's excellent, but if you're surrounded by snow, maybe not so much.

Thank you @N0rdicStar, exactly what I was looking for! I have read the Snow Child but not the other two. Downloaded onto my kindle today.
