It’s Tuesday and that means time for another Top Ten Tuesday post! This Sunday it will be winter solstice, so that means that winter is officially starting. We will have the shortest day of the year, and the days are only lengthening after. Soon we’ll be having more daylight once again, yay! But before this happens, we still have a few months of winter to deal with, and what better way to do this with a seasonal TBR? Exactly, there is none. Once again, I will be listing 10 books I hope to read this upcoming season, but who knows what my mood decides! 😂 I absolutely hate Christmas books, so you won’t find them here.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
- The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst – Okay okay, I’m not usually one for seasonal books, but I’ve heard this book has nice wintry vibes. Furthermore, it’s chosen as book of the month in a Discord server, so I have nothing to lose here. I haven’t read The Spellshop though, but I believe that wouldn’t really matter as it’s just set in the same world and not a direct sequel.
- Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad – I have been meaning to read this book for months now, so I decided to take this with me from my fall TBR. In fall, I had a major reading slump where I prioritized other books than stories about Gaza.
- Very Bad Elite by Jane S. Wonda – I recently read Very Bad Kings, the first book in this “Kingston University” series. The ending and actually the entire game makes me curious for more. Furthermore, it’s such a fast read, although it’s not in my usual genre. Unlike the previous book, this one hasn’t been translated to English yet, only available in German (original language) and Dutch.
- Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli – I meant to read this book months ago, but I finally got a copy. So, let’s go!
- The Alice Network by Kate Quinn – Another book I’ve been meaning to read for forever. I’ve seen so many positive reviews about it, but I just never picked it up. Time to change this I believe!
- James’ geheim by Marijke Vos – This is the final book in a Dutch historical fiction trilogy. I absolutely enjoyed the previous books, but I just don’t finish this series. And I have no reason as to why not.
- De zus van de chocolatier by Rebekka Eder – Okay, too many historical fiction books probably, as this is yet another one. This hasn’t been translated into English and is originally German. Another series I leave unfinished for too long, even though I enjoyed the previous book. This is the final one.
- Graduation Day by Joelle Charbonneau – I’m so bad in finishing series, because I also need to read this third and final novel in the “The Testing” trilogy. I read the first book in 2021, the second in 2024 and now it’s time to finish this series.
- Wildfire by Hannah Grace – It seems that I have the ambitious goal this winter to continue series, because this is the second book in the “Maple Hills” series. Admittedly, I wasn’t fully convinced by Icebreaker, but I still want to give it a try. Moreover, I notice myself growing out of college romances more and more.
- A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross – I added this book to my TBR years ago and I actually forgot about it. However, it still piqued my interest and I finally own a copy. The premise sounds really atmospheric, so I believe this is the perfect time for this book.
Have you read any of these books? What books will be on your TBR this winter?
