I have an insane amount of mysteries to read, both review copies and piles on my to-read list. Therefore, I decided to join another challenge, the Cloaks and Daggers Reading Challenge hosted by Books, Movies, Reviews!

When one thinks of John Grisham one thinks of legal thrillers such as The Firm and The Pelican Briefs not a Christmas story. Yet Skipping Christmas was my first John Grisham novel.

Hosted by Alison Can Read & Parajunkie Weekly Prompt: Q: What is your favorite book with a winter world? A: I loved The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the never-ending season of winter.
