Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Bookish Wishes — and here’s the description:
{Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl’s} birthday is today, so celebrate with me by granting the wishes of your friends! This is a popular thing to do on Twitter, but today we’re blog hopping. List the top 10 books you’d love to own and include a link to a wishlist so that people can grant your wish. Make sure you link your wishlist to your mailing address or include the email address associated with your ereader so people know how to get the book to you. After you post, jump around the Linky and grant a wish or two if you’d like. Don’t feel obligated to send anything!
Okay, so I’m NOT actually sharing links to a wishlist or at all asking anyone to grant my wishes! But still, it’s always fun (and a little crazy) to take stock of how many more books I’d like to get sooner or later… despite the huge number of unread books sitting on my shelves.
Here are my top 10 wishes:
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer Encyclopedia: The Ultimate Guide to the Buffyverse by Nancy Holder: This one has been on my wish list for years! I’d love to have a copy… but enough to actually spend money on it.
- Pride and Prometheus by John Kessel: I’ve actually read this one already — it’s a fabulous mash-up of Frankenstein and Pride and Prejudice, and I really need a copy of my own.
- Victories Great Than Death by Charlie Jane Anders: I have copies of her other books, and need this one too!
- Seed to Harvest by Octavia Butler: This is an all-in-one edition of the Patternist series. I do have these books on my Kindle already, but I’d love a hard copy too.
- The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker: Since I have a copy of The Golem and the Jinni, I’d like the sequel to go with it.
- The Return of the Sorceress by Silvia Moreno-Garcia: The hardcover edition is from Subterranean Press, and their books are always so pretty (but expensive).
- One Day All This Will Be Yours by Adrian Tchaikovsky: No particular reason — it just sounds like fun!
- Jane in Love by Rachel Givney: It’s Jane Austen plus time travel! How does that not sound cool?
- Network Effect by Martha Wells: I can’t believe I stalled out on the Murderbot books before getting to this one! There’s no good reason — I just haven’t gotten to it yet. I’d love to own copies of the entire series.
- Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley: The book sounds so good, and the cover is too pretty not to have my own copy.
What books are you wishing for the most? Please share your links!

I’ve heard great things about One Day This Will All Be Yours!

I know I read a review that made it sound terrific. Maybe this summer I’ll get to it!
Great list! I’d really like to get my hands on The Return of the Sorceress too, but it’s so expensive.
The Kindle version is a lot cheaper than the hardcover! 🙂 I may end up going that route, although I’m sure the physical book is really pretty.
The Kindle version isn’t available in the UK 😭
Oh, that’s too bad. Hopefully soon!
I really need to read Martha Wells!

I read the first four Murderbot books (novellas), and loved them, so I have no reason not to keep going. 🙂 I hope you get to check them out!
I agree, Fire Keeper’s Daughter is soso pretty. I own it… I just have to actually READ it! 😅
I just broke down and ordered myself a copy!
Nice! I hope you get to it soon!
I’ve been crying about the price for Return of the Sorceress for the last couple of months. I will probably just buy the ebook. I hope you get your hands on some of these soon!
Thanks! I’ll probably go the e-book route for that one too… but the hardcover is so tempting!
great list!! i can’t wait to read Victories Great Than Death
I really need a copy!
I have Firekeeper’s Daughter on my TBR (I actually got an email from my library saying my hold is ready).
May your wishes come true!

Thank you so much! I just broke down and gave into the temptation of Prime Day and ordered a copy of Firekeepers Daughter. 🙂
My preorder of the limited edition of The Return of the Sorceress came yesterday and it’s so pretty!
Ah, I’m jealous!!
I love these picks! Pride and Prometheus looks particularly fantastic, and I see Moreno-Garcia has a new offering too. Super 🙂
Pride and Prometheus is so good! I feel like it’s a book more people should know about. 🙂
Ahhh love it! Victories Greater than Death and Firekeeper’s Daughter were so good!!
So awesome to hear!! I ended up taking advantage of Prime Day deals and ordered copies for myself. 🙂
Oh good call! Hope you enjoy them all 🙂
