Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Books I Hope Santa Brings This Year. I’ve compiled a list of books I’d love to receive, many of which appeared on the shortlists for the Historical Writers’ Association Crown Awards. However, the notion I will get any of them for Christmas is a complete fantasy as I’m rarely given books as presents. Friends and family just wouldn’t know which book to buy me unless I gave them a list. But… I’m hoping to get some gift vouchers I can spend on some of them. What would be your choices? (Links from the title will take you to the book description on Goodreads.)
The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell
The Romantic by William Boyd
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka
The Great Passion by James Runcie
The Spirit Engineer by A J West
The Plague Letters by V. L. Valentine
The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley
Moonlight and the Pearler’s Daughter by Lizzie Pook
Hear No Evil by Sarah Smith
Limberlost by Robbie Arnott

My family won’t buy me books either. They say I have enough, which is probably true. I hope you get a chance to read all these someday!
