Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Hope to Find Under My Christmas Tree
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 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is Books I Hope to Find Under My Christmas Tree. I honestly didn’t ask for any books this year, but even when I don’t, I usually get at least a couple of gift cards to the bookstore so here are some books I’d consider purchasing with those cards.
Wishing a very Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates the holiday!

Question: Are you hoping to get any books this Christmas?
Great list! I really need to give Nevernight and The Handmaid’s Tale a try. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too!
I hope, if nothing else, that The Testaments arrives for you!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks, I hope so too!
I hope you find them under your tree! Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too!
I would also say yes to anything from Diane Chamberlain’s backlist!
Right? I’m so excited to read more of her books.
I’m so excited to read Children of Virtue and Vengeance! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Thanks! I hope the same for you. 🙂
I hope you get your wish! You’ve some great titles on your list, Suzanne💜
Thank you!
I adored The Testaments and hope you do, too.
My TTT.
I’m so glad to hear you loved it!
Lovely list😁 I would love a copy of The Testaments at some point as well. Happy holidays, Suzanne!
I didn’t get a copy for Christmas, but hopefully we’ll both get to read it soon. I love Margaret Atwood!
Yes, I’d like to get The Testaments as a gift. Not ready to buy it myself. I hope you get them all! Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you too! 🙂
I have Capturing the Devil but I haven’t read it yet. I re-read Stalking Jack this year for my book club, so I really want to re-read the next two before finishing up!

I just finished Escaping from Houdini a couple of weeks ago so I’m hoping I can get to Capturing the Devil soon. I love that series.
My daughter loved Darkdawn. She really enjoyed that series. I LOVED Foolish Hearts. It was my first Emma Mills book, and it motivated me to read them all
I didn’t get Foolish Hearts for Christmas but I’m still hoping to read it in 2020.
I hope Santa is extra sweet with you Suzanne! If I had to choose only one for you on your list I’d choose The Reckless Oath!
That’s one I really want to read. I didn’t get it for Christmas but hopefully I can still snag a copy so I can read it in 2020.
Winter Garden was heart wrenching, but then again almost all of Kristin Hannah’s books are heart wrenching. 🙂 It’s one of my favorites by her. And The Reckless Oath We Made is one of my favorite reads of 2019.
Kristin Hannah is the queen of heartwrenching reads. I’m glad to hear you loved Winter Garden. I’ve read all of her newer books but really want to read more of her older titles this coming year.
Merry Christmas Suzanne! I hope you got all these gems under the tree this week!
Merry Christmas to you too!
I hope you found quite a few of these under your tree this year Suzanne! Children of Virtue and Vengeance is especially one that I want to read as well. I have a copy on my Kindle from Netgalley but need a physical copy for the cover alone, so spectacular!
Oh I agree. The covers for that series are amazing!
Awesome list! I hope you were gifted picks from this list! 🙂
Thanks! I didn’t get any books but got some gift cards so I could pick out my own.
I’m not doing gifts this year which is probably good for me because well, I am on a book buying ban after all. The Testaments and Children of Virtue and Vengeance are two I really want to read though, so I hope you get them too and can tell me all about them!
I should probably be on a book buying ban myself, lol.
I hope you got at least SOME of these books under your tree this year. I didn’t actually get any books, as such. But I did get a lovely collection of book tokens/vouchers, etc so I can choose exactly what I want! Yippee!
I didn’t get any books but I did get a couple of gift cards so I can purchase some myself.
I read an ARC of The Last Year of the War and I really enjoyed it! I hope you get to read it soon! Here’s my Christmas wishlist. 🙂 TTT
Thanks, I hope so too.
