Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. The feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists and love to share lists with other bookish folk.
The rules are simple:
- Each week they post a new Top Ten list topic.
- Everyone is welcome to join. All they ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on 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 Top Ten Books on My Winter TBR List – a great excuse to look forward to all the bookish treats in store in the next few months.
Here’s my list – click on the title to read the Goodreads blurb.
Corpus (Tom Wilde #1) by Rory Clements – I can’t believe I’ve not read this yet as I loved Rory Clements’ John Shakespeare series and he was kind enough to sign my copy of Corpus when I heard him speak at Henley Literary Festival (click here to read my review of the event). Also, see below….
Nucleus (Tom Wilde #2) by Rory Clements – I have a lovely ARC of the next in the series, which is published in January so I need to catch up!
The Twelve-Mile Straight by Eleanor Henderson – Another fantastic looking ARC from NetGalley and I was clicking on request as soon as it mentioned ‘for lovers of To Kill A Mockingbird’. Sold – to the lady whose TBR pile is huge already.
Oliver Loving by Stefan Merrill Block – Yet another NetGalley ARC that I couldn’t resist requesting. Described as “A dazzling novel about love, loss, and the mysteries of the mind”, it’s published in January.
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey – This is my book for the December theme of the BookBum Book Club, run by the lovely Zuky on Goodreads. The theme is “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. It’s set in Alaska, so brrr…
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck – This was the book from my Classics Club list I got in the latest spin. I need to read it by the end of December. Lots of other book bloggers have given favourable comments about it so I’m looking forward to crossing at least one book off my Classics Club list in the next few months.
The Marriage of Miss Jane Austen by Collins Hemingway – I’m on the blog tour for this book in January. It imagines that Jane Austen entered into a secret marriage – sounds really intriguing.
Together by Julie Cohen – Another book that I have a lovely copy of signed by the author. I’ve heard such great things about this from other book bloggers. I also adore the gorgeous cover.
Beautiful Star & Other Stories by Andrew Swanston – Gosh, another January blog tour! I am going to be busy! I love my historical fiction and I’ve recently rediscovered an appreciation for short stories, so I couldn’t resist this one. Another great cover, as well.
Sweet Hollow Women by Holly Tierney-Bedord – Set in Louisiana – tick. Following the lives of four generations of women – tick. I also think the cover looks really enticing.
What are you looking forward to reading this Winter?
