Top Ten Books on My Winter TBR List



Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. There is a new subject each week and this week's topic is "Top Ten Books on My Winter TBR".

Here are some of the books I'm hoping to tackle this winter. The ones I am most excited about are Cress, The Lowland, City of Jasmine, and Attachments. My sister said The Lowland is amazing and it has received many positive reviews. I have also loved both books by Rainbow Rowell that I've read so I am eager to try Attachments, her novel for adults. I will definitely be reading Me Before You as it is a book group book for next year. 

I am less certain about Rebel Spring and A Clash of Kings. I liked Morgan Rhodes's debut, Falling Kingdoms but I'm not sure if I am invested enough to pick up the sequel yet. I also am a little intimidated by the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire saga. I liked A Game of Thrones and I even watched the second season of the show which is based on A Clash of Kings but I have to be in the right mood for it.


Cress by Marissa Meyers

I read a sampler of the first few chapters and I was hooked right away. I can't wait to find out what happens to Cinder and Scarlet and to find out more about Cress.


The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri

I love her writing style and this book has received high praise. I have equally high expectations for it...


City of Jasmine by Deanna Raybourn

I am really intrigued by this one with its historical setting, adventure, and female pilot protagonist.


Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

Another retelling of Beauty and the Beast but with a twist. I am looking forward to reading this soon.

Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen

I mostly love her books so I am pretty sure this will be an enjoyable read.


Me Before You by JoJo Moyes

Me Before You has such an interesting premise. Hopefully it will be a great book for discussion.


No One Else Can Have You by Kathleen Hale

Murder in 1980s Minnesota with a teenage sleuth. Sounds like fun plus I love the cover :)


Alienated by Melissa Landers

What made me want to pick this up is the addition of humor and the idea of an alien as a foreign exchange student.


Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

This looks like such a cute story and given the way that I feel about Eleanor and Park and Fangirl I just know I will love Attachments. I may keep this for February as a good Valentine's Day read.


Rebel Spring by Morgan Rhodes


A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

  1. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Me Before You…I've heard good things and am definitely interested in that one. I also like Deanna Raybourn, so I will keep my eye out for your review of her book as well as Rowell's adult novel.
