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.
