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 about our winter reading plans. I love putting together these quarterly TBR posts!
This time around, my list is split between upcoming new releases and book on my shelves that I’m dying to finally get to. My top 10 priorities to read this winter will be:
New releases:
1) Where the Drowned Girls Go (Wayward Children, #7) by Seanan McGuire: Starting the year off with a new novella in this series is becoming an annual tradition! This one releases January 4, 2022.
2) Spelunking Through Hell (InCryptids, #11) by Seanan McGuire: Also an annual tradition from the same author, the next new installment in the ongoing InCryptids series, releasing in March 2022.
3) The Unfamiliar Garden (The Comet Cycle, #2) by Benjamin Percy: The first book in this series (The Ninth Metal) was so weird and so good — can’t wait for more! Releases in January.
4) When You Get the Chance by Emma Lord: Another January release — looks like a lot of fun.
And books I already own:
5) Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto: I hear it’s great!
6) Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger: My book group’s pick for January (and we’ll be Zooming with the author!)
7) Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo: An LGBTQ love story set in San Francisco in the 1950s. Sounds amazing!
8) The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood: I see to be gravitating toward light romances a lot lately, and I love that this one features a woman in science.
9) Babylon’s Ashes (The Expanse, #6) by James S. A. Corey: The last season of the TV series is airing now, but there are still plenty of books left to read!
10) The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery: This specific book is a maybe, but I do want to read more L. M. Montgomery, and this is one of four options for me.
What books will be keeping you warm this winter? Share your links, and I’ll come check out your top 10!

I love the Blue Castle even though it does go a bit over the top at the end. But really almost all of LM Montgomery’s books are very enjoyable.
So far, I’ve read the Anne and Emily series. I have a few others, but I think The Blue Castle is probably what I’ll try next.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I’d also highly recommend Jane of Lantern Hill and The Story Girl books
I have a copy of Jane, and I guess I need the Story Girl books too!
Do get them; if you read ebooks, they are in public domain
I’m so excited for Where the Drowned Girls Go! I hope we both love it!
My post!
Me too! But I haven’t been disappointed yet by anything in that series.
I own Dial A for Aunties and really need to read it soon.

Me too! I treated myself to a copy just this past month, and now I just need time to read it.
Fab list. I really want to read The Love Hypothesis too!
A book group friend keeps raving about it!
I put it on my wishlist and thought if I get some money for Xmas then I’ll get it!!
The Blue Castle is my favourite L.M. Montgomery book! No pressure to read it, of course, but I sure loved it.

Oh, I’m so glad to hear that! My other options are Jane of Lantern Hill and Pat of Silver Bush, but I”m strongly leaning toward Blue Castle.
I am about to add The Love Hypothesis to my TBR. So many people seems to love that one and it sounds so good. Last Night at the Telegraph Club is one I’ve been meaning to get to as well. Hope you enjoy all these!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to having a little more time to read the books I feel like reading, without deadlines or obligations.
Good list! I’m still on the list for Dial A For Aunties. A friend has been hoping I’d read the Blue Castle forever–it’s her favorite. I read the Anne books as an adult and loved all but the first one.
Funny, I also read the Anne books as an adult, and loved the early ones, but didn’t care so much for a few of the later ones where Anne is mostly just an adult in the background.
Maybe because my kids were adopted as older children I could see both sides of Anne’s situation as a girl. I loved the later ones–especially (titles are all jumbled in my mind at the moment] the World War I book.
Oh, that’s the Rilla book. I really loved that one too!
I love that you’re giving priority to your owned books. I want to try harder next year to do the same😁
I’m feeling pretty desperate about it! I’ve been reading nothing but ARCs pretty much for months, and I need to break the cycle!
You and I have a lot of the same reading interests – I’m working my way through the Expanse series too. The Malinda Lo book sounds great, I’m adding that to my list.
How far are you in the Expanse books? I’m a little nervous about picking up #6, since it’s been almost a year since I read the previous one. Luckily, between the show and a friend who’s read them all, I should be able to fill in any blanks. 🙂
I just finished Babylons Ashes. I’ve been staying just one book ahead of the series so i dont get confused. Like your friend, my husband knows the entire series when i forget who someone is…
I really liked The Love Hypothesis!
Hope you had a great Tuesday!

Thanks! A book group friend has been raving about Love Hypothesis, and I’m really looking forward to reading it!
I loved Ordinary Grace! (Even more than This Tender Land) Enjoy! And Blue Castle is enjoyable! Happy reading!
I’m so glad to hear how much you loved Ordinary Grace!
🙌😍
Ooh I’d love to hear your thoughts on Last Night at the Telegraph Club! It sounds so, so good. Great list!
Thanks!! I’m really looking forward to Telegraph Club.
I need to get back to the Wayward Children books. I loved the ones I’ve read so far.
They’re all so good! (#2 will always be my favorite, I think, but I do love them all.)
