a good read for a snowy day


John Green's Michael L. Printz Award-winning debut novel, Looking for Alaska is the perfect read for a snowy day (and possibly even a snow day). Miles Halter leaves behind his family—and a few quasi-friends—in Florida, for boarding school in Culver Creek, Alabama. Whether its his aging world religions teacher or his new friends: The Colonel, Takumi, and the mysterious (read: love interest) Alaska, the people Miles meets at school constantly bring about new experiences and discoveries. When Alaska fails to show up to assembly one day, Miles learns that its time to put his newfound knowledge into action!

Why is this the perfect snowy day book? Well, one, it's set in a warm place, which is always good, but mostly, it's the kind of book that's perfect to read in one sitting. Mostly because you won't be able to put it down. (It kept me up till past 1:00 AM!)
