Top Ten Tuesday (TTT) brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish.
December 19: Top Ten Books I Hope Santa Brings (If you celebrate a different Winter holiday, adapt this topic to fit it!)
Dear Santa,
How are you doing? I bet you are pretty busy getting everything ready up there at the North Pole. I hope Mrs. Claus has been feeding you lots of cookies, the elves are not on strike, and the reindeer are including Rudolph in their games.
I think I’ve been pretty good this year. OK, so I didn’t get all my reviews posted to this blog. (yet.) And I’ve missed the occasional Top Ten Tuesday post. And I am behind on my ARC reading list. It’s just that my TBR list grows faster than I could ever possibly read. If you could help increase my reading speed, that would be great.
I don’t have a lot on my list this year. This past week I was looking for books to gift to different family members, and I did stumble across a few new books to add to my list:
- Wishtree by Katherine Applegate
- Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley
- Wildman by J.C. Geiger
- Quicksand by Malin Persson Giolito
- Spoonbenders by Daryl Gregory
- Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny
- Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz
- The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish
- The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell
- The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak
Also Santa – if this list is too last minute, you can always keep in mind the Books on my Winter Reading List. Oh! And Rainbow Rowell’s UK publication Almost Midnight would also be amazing. Thanks.
Don’t forget to eat a cookie or two when you stop by our house on Sunday. And take a few for the road. You’re working overtime.
XOXO,
Kristi.
“And I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight, Merry Christmas [Happy Holidays!] to all, and to all a good night!”
Hidden Staircase 
I want to try Spoonbenders as well.
Happy Holidays!

The cover on that one is so beautiful! I just heard about Wishtree from another friend last week. It sounds so interesting, from the perspective of the tree. Happy holidays Grace!

Thanks Lauren! I think it would be hard to go wrong with either of those choices. I’m sure we will both get to them eventually!

Oh that request might be even too much for Santa! 😉 Ha! If your TBR is like mine it grows faster than you could ever read. Good luck!

Almost Midnight looks fun. And Words in Deep Blue looked really good when I saw a review of it. Hope you have a happy and bookish Christmas! 🙂
