A few weeks ago, we went to our shelf to find some covers that use water as a design element or maybe was part of the story or title. Today we’re talking about books that use weather as a part of its design. I’m not sure if we’ll find them all based on title or design, but maybe we’ll end up with a hodgepodge of both, which is okay since the title is, in some sense, also a part of the design.
☁️☀️☔IT’S RAINING BOOKS: EIGHT TITLES WITH WEATHER THEMES☔☀️☁️A #TopTen list of books with weather themes. #TopTenList #TopTenTuesday #BookList #Books #GoodBooks #ReadBooks Click To TweetLIST | SOME OF THE BEST MOMENTS BETWEEN ‘ELEMENTARY’S’ SHERLOCK AND WATSON
Like our water theme, this one can be a kind of literal storm (and some of these will be) or a more metaphorical use, or perhaps even both. First we have to head up to the bookshelf and see what we can find. I’m not sure from memory I can think of the books in said place that apply. Then we’ll compile them on this list and share if we’ve read them and if so, what did we think. Let’s get to searching those bookcases!
BOOKS THAT use WEATHER
NO JUDGEMENTS, MEG CABOT
A hurricane factors into this Meg Cabot novel which looks like it would still be a breezy and fun read. Goodreads
MEET THE SKY, MCCALL HOYLE
An arc I received from Blink, I don’t think I read this one, but as the cover would imply, it does involve a hurricane! Goodreads
EIGHT PERFECT HOURS, LIA LOUIS
Snowstorms cause some headaches in this seasonal (and winter-y) novel by the popular author. Goodreads
MY FACE TO THE WIND: THE DIARY OF SARAH JANE PRICE
A Dear America book, and one that throws it back to my childhood reading. Goodreads
BEYOND THE GATHERING STORM, JANETTE OKE
Read these so long ago but this is, I think, a kind of add on book to the original When Calls the Heart novels (and yes, those are the ones the Hallmark series is loosely based on). It follows the main characters children as adults. Goodreads
SURVIVAL IN THE STORM: THE DUST BOWL DIARY OF GRACE EDWARDS
Read these Dear America books years ago and now I’m thinking about it, I’m also wondering if I read every one on my shelf. Either way, this one chronicles the dust bowl in a fictionalized story. Goodreads
OH, THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL, SUSAN MAY WARREN
A snowstorm wrecks some havoc here as does a traumatic event. Goodreads
EVERY STORM, LORI WICK
Read this one so long ago. But it’s a novel that has ‘storm’ in its title even if the cover doesn’t depict one. Goodreads

Linking Up with That Artsy Reader Girl October 17: Books with Weather Events in Title/on the Cover
Survival in the Storm sounds good.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Always fun to visit lists and find a book or two to add to our TBRs. :) Thanks for visiting, Lydia.
Eight Perfect Hours sounds fun, the cover is so pretty
Right? I agree! Love a pretty cover. And I’ve heard good things about this author!
It was fun to read about all of the weather events in these books. Thanks for sharing!
For sure! :)
Eight Perfect Hours sounds like a fun read!
I think so too, Lindsey. And I’ve heard good things about the author, too!
An interesting list. I did 5 weather titles and 5 weather covers and I struggled with that!
Have a great week!

That’s fun, too, Emily! I’ve split my list up like that before as well. Sometimes it makes the list more interesting. :)
I used to read a lot of Janette Oke and Lori Wick, so I might have read those before I actually kept track of my reading. I like the covers of the ones you picked. Have a great week!
Those were two of my favorite authors. Lori Wick was probably one of my first “adult” authors I ever read, too, so someday I want to read one of hers again even if just for pure nostalgia. ;)
Eight Perfect Hours sounds fun! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
It does! Plus we love a good Christmas-y novel once in a while. :)
I’ve seen good things about Eight Perfect Hours. The cover is cute, too. Great list and thanks for visiting my TTT!
That’s good to know, Rachel! And I’ve heard good things about the author who wrote Eight Perfect Hours. :)
Oooh! All of these books look interesting! Great list!
Thanks! :)
You always have the coolest lists, and they’re full of books I’ve never heard of but am always intrigued by. The cover for Meet the Sky caught my attention, and it’s got me so curious about that book. Great list this week, as usual!
…well I hope if that curiosity leads to reading Meet the Sky you enjoy it, Leah. :) As always, thanks for visiting. :)
I almost had Eight Perfect Hours on my list, too! Such a great book!
I’m hoping it is for me as well! I know the author gets rave reviews. :)
