Top Ten Books on My Winter TBR
I'm linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl for another Top Ten Tuesday.
It's time for planning another season of reading! I read most of the books on my Fall TBR list; I'm still finishing Only Love Today, and there are two still on hold that I'm carrying over to my winter list. Here are ten of the books I plan to read this winter!
1. As You Wish by Cary Elwes
I'm not personally a diehard fan of The Princess Bride, but I've heard this recommended a number of times (especially the audiobook), and it sounds like a fun read. Those are always a good thing to reach for in the depths of winter! 2. Bad Blood by John Carreyrou
I still haven't read this! I've heard nothing but rave reviews about this narrative nonfiction since it came out in 2018. After going on a Holly Jackson thriller kick recently, I want to mix it up with some compelling true crime. 3. Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
This is what my online book club is reading to discuss in February. I hadn't heard of it before, so I'm interested to see what it's about! 4. Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
This one has popped up on so many "best of" lists, and I've lost count of the number of times I've heard it recommended at this point. It's not the kind of book I'd typically pick up on my own, but it sounds like that's also the case for a lot of people who have ended up loving it, so I'm excited to check it out. 5. I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong
I saw this on a bookstore shelf recently and was reminded how interested I was in reading it. I deeply appreciated Yong's reporting on COVID in 2020 and 2021, and I'm interested to learn from him about the world of microbes. 6. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
There was such hype around this one after it came out in 2022, and after a few years it still seems to be quite popular and well recommended, so I'm going to give it a shot this winter. 7. Nothing to Fear by Julie McFadden
This is a carryover from my fall list that I'm still looking forward to reading. 8. The Only Plane in the Sky by Garrett M. Graff
Anytime I get in conversation with someone about how much I love the musical Come From Away, it reminds me that there are several 9/11 books that I still want to read. This one seems to be most frequently recommended, so I'm going to start here. 9. Passenger to Frankfurt by Agatha Christie
Y'all, I've been working my way through Agatha Christie's books for years now, and while I still have her nonfiction and the ones she wrote under a pseudonym, this will be the last of her mystery novels to read. It's been quite an adventure! 10. Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD
This was on my fall list, and when I got the audiobook it said it was abridged, so I now have a hold on the hard copy, which is going to take a while!
What do you plan to read this winter?
Looking back:
One year ago I was reading: Hazeldine: Volume One, The Bad Guys in The One?!, Demon Copperhead, and Something Wild & Wonderful
Five years ago I was reading: The Next Evangelicalism, The Watsons Go to Birmingham, and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Ten years ago I was reading: Lamb and One Hundred Names
