Top Ten Tuesday - My Winter TBR

This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic from The Broke and the Bookish is Winter TBR.  This topic is repeated seasonally and is one of my favorites.  There's almost no chance I'll actually get to all ten of these before spring but I like sorting through all the books I want to read and picking ten!

1.  At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald - This was my Grandmother's favorite book as a child and she's been telling me that I should read it for decades but I'm a bit contrary and never have.  I think this is the time to finally read it.

2.  Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn - I've seen several reviews for this one lately and it really has me wanting to reread it!

3.  Written in Red by Anne Bishop - I'm trying to read some of the books that I hear lots of raves about but are a little out of my comfort zone and this one sounds really good.

4.  Lost on Planet China by J. Maarten Troost - I've really enjoyed his previous two travel memoirs so I have high hopes for this one.  Plus, it's been awhile since I've read a travel memoir.

5.  Flat Broke with Two Goats - by Jennifer McGaha - I love this title so much!  This is a memoir about the author losing her job and ending up in a farmhouse in the Appalachians with two goats.  It sounds pretty interesting.

6.  Promise Not to Tell by Jayne Ann Krentz - I love her romantic suspense books and I'm really looking to starting this new one!

7.  The English Wife by Lauren Willig - I loved her standalone book from a few years ago entitled The Other Daughter so I'm super excited to read this one.

8.  Death and the Viking's Daughter by Loretta Ross - This cozy mystery series about auctioneer Wren and former Marine turned PI Death is quickly becoming one of my favorites so I always look forward to the next in the series.

9.  Ginger Snapped by Gail Oust - I love a good Christmas cozy mystery - especially a series involving lots of Christmas cookies!

10. Finding Hope by Stacy Finz - I'm hoping to start making some progress on getting caught up on my overdue ARCs.  I was really excited about this one when it came out in January of 2015 so I think it's probably time I read it!

What's on your TBR this Winter?

  5. I read At the Back of the North Wind in college for a class and it made me sob. I loved it entirely and kept it, but I never want to read it again.

  11. Romancing Mr. Bridgerton is very enjoyable if you like a good historical Romance! I also enjoyed Written in Red - it's an little different from most urban fantasy I've read. Anne Bishop is a great author :)

  12. Flat Broke with Two Goats sounds like it will be a trip! I also saw Death and the Viking's Daughter on someone else's list and I definitely want to know more about this book. Good luck in reading what you can! I am trying to read 10 more NetGalley books before the year is out.

  14. I hope you do get to Written in Red--and that you like it. I know it's a bit outside your comfort zone. The English Wife is one I am looking forward to as well. And Promise Not to Tell. :-) I hope you get a chance to read all of these this winter, Katherine!
