#TopTenTuesday Revisiting My Winter 2025-2026 To-Read List #TuesdayBookBlog

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 Authors You Wish Were Still Writing Today. It’s an excellent idea for a topic but I spent far too much time trying to come up with something so I decided to revisit an earlier topic – Books On My Winter 2025-2026 To-Read List. Did I read any of the ten books I said I wanted to by the end of February? Let’s find out…

  1. Helm by Sarah Hall (Faber & Faber) Read & reviewed
  2. A Granite Silence by Nina Allan (Riverrun) Read & reviewed
  3. Whale Fall by Elizabeth O’Connor (Picador) Read & reviewed
  4. Benbecula by Graeme Macrae Burnet (Polygon) Read & reviewed
  5. Room 706 by Ellie Levenson (Headline Review) – Read & reviewed (on Goodreads only)
  6. Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT and the Race That Will Change the World by Parmy Olson (Macmillan) Read & reviewed
  7. Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy (Macmillan) Read & reviewed
  8. Female, Nude by Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett (Tinder Press) No longer on TBR
  9. The Shock of the Light by Lori Inglis Hall (The Borough Press) Read & reviewed
  10. Julia Sleeps by Zoe Caryl (Self-published) Read & reviewed

Well I think this proves I like to create a reading list, generally stick to it and will never be admitted to the ‘mood reader’ or ‘Don’t know what to read next’ club.
