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 Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books On My Winter 2024/25 To-Read List. Looking ahead at the books I’m hoping to read next year is one of my favourite things and there are already a number of enticing titles on my NetGalley To-Read shelf . Links from each title, which are listed in publication date order, will take you to the full book description on Goodreads.
- Another Man in the Street by Caryl Phillips – “an unforgettable story of loss, displacement, belonging, and the triumph of Black resilience – epic in scope and yet profoundly intimate; and a radical and timely portrait of immigrant London”
- Homeseeking by Karissa Chen – “An epic tale of one couple spanning decades as world events pull them together and apart”
- The Bookseller (DS Cross #7) by Tim Sullivan – “Someone’s about to turn their last page…”
- The House with Nine Locks by Philip Gray – “a compelling and sweeping historical suspense novel that follows a master forger, the menacing detective on their tail, and an ambitious young woman who becomes embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse”
- The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay by Flora Johnston – “Three women, a fearless aviatrix, a jaded wife and a secretive academic strain to reach for their dreams on the cusp of an uncertain future”
- A Cold Wind from Moscow by Rory Clements – “At the dawn of the Cold War, a new breed of spy is born…”
- The Ghosts of Rome by Joseph O’Connor – “A beautifully written and expertly crafted historical suspense novel bursting with action, atmosphere, and unforgettable characters”
- The Café with No Name by Robert Seethaler, trans. by Katy Derbyshire – “An unforgettable novel about how we carry each other through good and bad times, and how even the most ordinary life is, in its own way, quite extraordinary”
- Mrs Hudson and the Capricorn Incident by Martin Davies – “The latest in the bestselling series inspired by the great detective’s housekeeper at 221B Baker Street”
- The Language of Remembering by Patrick Holloway – “A mother and son embark on a journey of personal discovery and as past traumas are exposed, they begin to understand what has shaped them and who they really are”











I’l look out for your review of Another Man on the Street, Cathy. I was very tempted by that on NetGalley.
