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 Books I Hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes. My holidays have already wrapped up and I don’t expect a visit from Santa… but in case a Book Fairy ever ends up in the neighborhood, here’s what I’m wishing for!
There are a few books here that I’m hoping to read in the coming year, a few that I’ve read but would love to own for myself… and who can resist a bookish Lego set?
Already read – want to own:
- Cinder House by Freya Marske: I loved this novella! (review)
- Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green: Such a powerful, informative book. I’d like my own copy so I can refer back to it again (and again) (review)
- The Heir Apparent by Rebecca Armitage: Loved this one too! I borrowed a library edition, but would really like a hardcover for my shelves. (review)
Pretty editions plus a book I want to read:
- Harper Muse Classics edition of Mansfield Park — I’ve slowly managed to add all of the other Austen books in this collection to my shelves. This is the last one I still need!
- This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews: I’ll be honest — I don’t actually know what this book is about, but it’s so gorgeous that I’m itching to buy a copy every time I see it pop up.
- The Once and Future Queen by Paula Lafferty: Yet another book that I’m definitely judging by its cover! The story sounds really good… but that beautiful design is what’s calling my name.
- Apprehension by Mary Robinette Kowal / Red Star Hustle by Sam J. Miller: This two-in-one sci-fi book sounds amazing… and with half of it by a favorite author, I really do need a copy!
LEGO!
I mean… these just seem too perfect!

Ooh, I recently saw the Jane Austen’s books Lego set and added it to my wishlist too! One day I’ll get a fun Lego set 🙂 I also can’t wait to get the new Ilona Andrews, and I also want to read the John Green book after seeing it everywhere. I hope you get these wishes fulfilled one day!
I hope the book fairy grants all your wishes! 📚
Oh, those LEGO kits are perfect. I’d love to have both of them myself. But if I had to choose, it would be the Jane Austen one all the way! 😀
Oh I love those Lego houses!
Everything is Tuberculosis was a good read. I wish we had better treatments for that disease.
