The Art of Racing in the Rain

The Shadow of the Wind

Here's a question I've been meaning to ask:

The German edition of Why Did You Lie? by Icelandic author Yrsa Sigurdardóttir is called Nebelmord, which translates to "Murder in the Mist". So the German version would fit the prompt and I'm fine, because the German edition is the one I have.
The original title is "Lygi", meaning "Lies".

My question is now: In this particular case, I would count the German edition for the prompt but not the English or the original, but what if the original mentioned the "mist" and the German did not? I don't speak Icelandic, but if the original title fitted the prompt, would it then be OK to use a translation of that book for the prompt, even if the translated title no longer fitted it?

For instance, last year I read "Reconstructing Amelia", which is called "Die letzte Wahrheit" ("The Last Truth") in German. Would it have been OK to use it for the "Character's name in the title" prompt (I didn't)? Because I feel there are two ways to approach this: Either you're super strict and only count the actual titles you're reading, or you will always let the original title count, no matter what the translation, and also the translated title of the edition you're reading.

Thoughts? Or should this actually be a separate topic?

I got Jet Black and the Ninja Wind on my tbr.

I’m reading The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean Warright now and it’s pretty good so far.

Does it say how cold it actually is? I have always wondered because from my perspective warfare during winter is nothing special and "cold" is only really worth mentioning if it's closer or over (or below?) -40 degrees...

I would assume it was close to that - the north part of Korea has winter weather similar to Canada (I’m from the Toronto area) and the fighting was concentrated in the mountains, where temperatures would be low and snowy all winter. As well, The Americans weren’t expecting the war and the troops were not properly equipped - no winter uniforms or sleeping bags have already been mentioned.

I have been at -40 degrees, and there is no way people (or inexperienced soldiers) could survive in those temperatures without proper gear or survival skills. I googled a bit and it seems it can go below -20 C sometimes but usually is around -10 C in Pyongyang. Which, I guess, can be considered relatively cold. Mountains are a bit different but still...

I should read a book about one mission during which temperatures of -50 C have been mentioned. Then a bit of skiing, maybe about 100 km to home, enemy soldiers behind you... Well, at least they had methamphetamine.

Amy Snow has been on my TBR for a while. I think that's what I will read.

They didn’t survive, generally, though. The part of the war he’s basing that title on was when the 8th Army was overrun by Chinese forces and mostly died. They didn’t need to survive particularly without gear because most died, some were kept in brutal POW camps and a small number retreated south.

Korea is a hugely mountainous country, both North and South and a lot of the war was conducted in the mountains (problematic for Americans because they were best with tanks, which they had few of and in many areas they weren’t very practical). At the southern tip, in Busan, you wouldn’t ever need winter jackets, but in the north in the mountains it’s very cold. Basically they didn’t bother to issue the soldiers winter supplies because they thought it would be a super easy win and they wouldn’t be there for the winter. Then they scrambled to try to supply people when China entered the war.

I went camping in a tent one weekend where it hit -40 with the windchill. I don’t ever want to be that cold again!

He has an interesting quote where a man is angry that the soldiers were reported as having died in the sleeping bags, meant to point out how unprepared they were for the attack. And the man is angry because they didn’t have sleeping bags to die in but we’re using their blankets wrapped in parts of the tents.

The Children's Blizzard I read this one several years ago. It's a good one.

I found a book at a thrift store called The Cloud Atlas by Liam Callanan. I liked the cover and it involves the Japanese balloon bombs of WWII. As a native of the American west coast, I have always been interested in them but see so little about them. This is one of my possibilities.

I have been meaning to read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (sci-fi, cyberpunk genre), so might as well use it for this prompt!

A favorite of mine!

Outlander: A Breath of Snow and Ashes! I am working on the series--so I am excited that I get to use this book category!

Being a fan of fairy tale re-writes works out well for me here. I think I'm going try reading Six-Gun Snow White.

Is Wuthering Heights too much of a stretch?

You know I was going to say yes but "wuther" is defined as "(as wind) to blow fiercely" so it's essentially the same as using a book with "gust" in the title. It's not the weather but it really only pertains to describing weather.

The law versus the spirit of the law? This is about reading books, isn't it? Even if it has elements of a marathon or a race? And Chinook says it well in another thread, where she suggests we all struggle with dilemmas about guidelines in different ways.

Flowers in the Snow by Danielle Stewart was good, I read that this year

I'm thinking about re-reading some of my V.C. Andrews next year, and she has a number of weather titles:

Rain
Lightning Strikes
Eye of the Storm
The End of the Rainbow (I assume Rainbow works as a weather word)
Pearl in the Mist

I don't think it's a stretch at all!! I count "wuthering" as a weather word.

Conny, I didn't notice any other responses, so I'll put in my two cents. I don't think there are any challenge police, so if it seems ok to you, then go for it!

I’m rereading Wuthering Heights right now and the weather is a key aspect of parts of the story, so I’d say it definitely fits in nicely.

I'm going with The Shadow of the Wind for this one.

I'm excited to see some of you reading Gone with the Wind... one of my favorites!

Going through my TBR list, here are some of my options. I`m really not sure which one I`ll go with at the moment.

The Lightning Thief
The Mists of Avalon
The Sea of Storms
Prisoner of Night and Fog
The Shadow of the Wind
The Mist
Empire of Storms
Snow Like Ashes
Flame in the Mist
Gone with the Wind

Sunshine by Robin McKinley - for fans of vampires in literature and novels with baking. I know it sounds like a weird blend, but it's great.

I'll finally read A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow by George R.R. Martin. Considering the first two books took me over three months to read in total, this does not bode well. I would never have bothered with any more of them after the first one, except my friend got me both parts of the fifth book as a birthday present, and I hate ditching books I get as gifts without reading them. Though, honestly, I remember so little of the story from one book to the next that I could read them right now and understand it as well as I am ever going to!

Some on my TBR list:

The Snow Child
Girls Made of Snow and Glass
Snow White: A Graphic Novel
The Abominable Snowman (a Choose Your Own Adventure book!)
Rain Reign
Waiting for the Rain
Eye of the Storm
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid
Flood and Fang
The Haunting of Sunshine Girl
I'll Give You the Sun

I obviously have a lot to pick from, but I hope the list is useful to some of you, too.

I think I am going to read either The Gift of Rain by Tan Twan Eng or And the Birds Rained Down by Jocelyne Saucier.

I plan on reading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer.

I'm planning on reading Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson & Lauren Myracle, allowing me to also finish my author reading collection of John Green! Two birds, one stone!

Ill Wind is on my TBR and works for this one.

I have

Wind from the Abyss By Janet E Morris and
When the Wind Blows by James Patterson

sitting here at the moment but it will probably be Wind from the Abyss after I read High Couch of Silistra for the Book on another planet and The Golden Sword as the next book in a series. Mum loved those books and I always wanted to get around to reading them. I can remember always having to go to the Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney when I went there for a day trip with my boyfriend at the time (3 hours away by train) to see if I could get the next one in the series for her. And yes even though Mum died 16 years ago and I actually bought the books for her around 35 or more years ago I still have her copies on my shelf to read. In fact I still have all of her old friends put away.

Would Strange Weather by Joe Hill fit this prompt? Weather IS in the title!
