Top Ten Tuesday #7

I have so many books which I need to read it was nice to do this list this week so when I finish a book I don't have to stress out about which one to choose next... well I will only stress about ten options now... This is a blog hop hosted by The Broke and The Bookish who happens to be particularly partial to lists so here's this weeks Top Ten Tuesday!


Top Ten Books I'm going to read through the Winter

Well first of all we have to have some Christmas books don't we? So here are my two picks for this years Christmas.

1. A Clockwork Christmas - 
This book was sent to me by Netgalley, It contains a collection of four stories which are perfect for Christmas and are all Steampunk ones which is always fun! I'm looking forward to this one!!

2. A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
I've been meaning to read this one now for a couple of Christmases and just never got around to it! This year I will! Especially as I think it's on my 1001 list which I am currently trying to do. I've always wanted to read this book and can't wait to get started on it! Might be started on Christmas Eve I think!!!



Right now here are my regular books that are planned for Winter this year

3. Monsters in L.A. - Lisa Morton
I received this one directly from a Literary Agent, I really like the sound of this one, it is a collection of short stories about all of your favourite monsters, eg Mr Hyde, Frankenstein, Dracula etc so I'm really looking forward to some different takes on these characters!!!

4. Fallen - Lauren Kate
I've been looking forward to this one for a while and when I saw it on Amazon I couldn't resist it's amazingly cheap black Friday deal for all three! This one will definitely be started over Christmas!

5. Shiver - Maggie Steifvater
Like Fallen, the Mercy of Wolves series is another one I managed to get for a really good deal! Who could resist? I've read some really good reviews and can't wait to start them!

6. City of Bones - Cassandra Clare
I went a bit mad this week and bought this collection as well! All of these titles people have been raving about and I just really needed to get these :) 


7. Safe Harbour - Christine Feehan
This is the 5th in the Drake Sister's books and where I'm up to in the series, I've read 3 of her books this year alone so I might leave this one to start early 2012, I'm interested to learn about Hannah in this book which has been the sister I've liked the most throughout the series. 


8. A Visit from the Goon Squad - Jennifer Egan
I've been wanting to read this ever since the TV book club reviewed it, it sounds like a really good read and although I've had it for ages I haven't managed to start it yet!!


9. Pure - Julianna Baggott
This is another title from Netgalley, this one is a fairly recent one that I received but I'm really anxious to read it, it sounds like a really great story!!


10. Island of Wings - Karin Altenberg
This was one of the first books I received from NetGalley in September so I've decided to stop neglecting it and read it over the Winter, it does sound like a really good book, my review pile just seems to be getting higher and higher!!!


So there's my Top Ten Tuesday! Let me know what you think.

  1. I enjoyed Shiver & City of Bones! Fallen has been on my shelf for a while but I haven't gotten around to picking it up yet. I'd like to read A Visit from the Goon Squad

  2. Shiver completely fascinated me; it was amazing! I guiltily enjoy the Fallen series, and City of Bones is the start of one of my favourite series!

  3. Great list! I have Pure but haven't gotten to it yet! I love Julianna Baggott! Her MG book The Ever Breath is one of the most underrated books I can think of! You should check it out!

  4. Shiver is a wonderful book. It was my first ever werewolf novel and I loved it. Maggie Stiefvater has a way with words :)
