Top Ten Tuesday #40

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Books on My Winter 2023 TBR

I honestly love the original prompt for today. However, I only got two books for Christmas this year. This is completely fine because I have enough of a backlog as there is, lol. For those who are curious, I received a beautiful new edition of DUNE by Frank Herbert and PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION by Emily Henry, and I’m excited about both of them!

Because I missed the prompt, I’ve decided to go back a couple of weeks and do the yearly “Books on My Winter 2022-2023 TBR.” (I changed it to Winter 2023, though, since we have less than a week left this year.) As always, I may plan to read specific books during the next few months because they fit a challenge, they’re for book club, or whatever. Whether I stick to my plan is all dependent on my mood as I can’t force myself to read something I’m not in the mood for. Here are ten books I might read this winter, mood permitting:

I’m most excited to read A FIRE ENDLESS by Rebecca Ross because I adored A RIVER ENCHANTED earlier this year.

What about you? Which books are on your winter TBR? Do we have any in common?

    Great collection of books! I meander from one book to another, whatever catches my fancy. The Book Club book is always my first priority. I was one of the few who didn’t care for Crawdads. As a mystery reader, the mystery was a nothing burger and as a sometimes romance reader, the love story wasn’t well-written. (in my opinion)

      Thanks, Margaret! 😀 I totally get putting the book club book as top priority. I try to do that as well unless it’s a book I really don’t want to read, lol. Sorry you didn’t care for Crawdads. You can’t win them all, right? Hopefully, I’ll still like it.

      I also love Stanley Tucci! He’s one of my favorite actors. I didn’t realize this Backman book was being adapted. I’ll have to check it out after I read it. 😀

      Woot woot! 😀 Yay book club! Mistborn’s on there because 1) it’s part of a challenge I’m participating in next year, and 2) my friend has wanted me to read it for 10+ years, lol.

    I hope you enjoy Where the Crawdads Sing! It’s not something I usually read, but I listened to the audiobook and was fascinated with the story.

    One of these days I’ll need to read an Ali Hazelwood book. 🙂

      I’ve actually started Crawdads and I’m quite fascinated by it as well. 😀 I’m glad you loved it as much as you did despite it not being your usual genre. 😀

    This looks like a great list; I hope you enjoy them all! The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is one I want to read, too. Hopefully we’ll both get to it (and enjoy it) in 2023!

    Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier. 🙂
