Top Ten Tuesday | Dear Santa: All I Want this Year Is…
Hello, there, everyone – and Merry Christmas 2018. I’m in awe today is Christmas, but the calendar says it is, my social media timelines inform me of this, and now, Top Ten Tuesday’s topic does.
That Artsy Reader Girl | Top Ten Tuesday December 25: Books I Hope I Find Under My Christmas Tree This Morning
Each year, this is another topic I always enjoy putting together. It sort of surprised me that I had a bit of a hard time finding books to put on this kind of list. I have a feeling its more because my mind is drawing a blank vs the lack of published books in this world, but perhaps not. Or maybe it’s because I know more of what I like vs don’t, in which case I’m one happy bookworm.
Since I tend to gift books to myself (Amazon makes it too tempting with that 2-day shipping), sometimes I feel bad for Mr. Claus. After all, how can he leave me any books if I snag them all myself? This list is probably coming a tiny bit late for the big man in red to see anyway, but then again, he is Santa, and one should never underestimate him and his elves. With that said, let’s take a look at my wish list of books for 2018.
Dear Santa…
Top Ten Tuesday December 25
1: Forever Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon | I have all of the books in this series save for this fourth and final novel. I’ve read an ARC copy, but of course will want to have a finished copy someday. Goodreads
2: Called to Protect by Lynette Eason | This is a series by Lynette I’ve yet to pick up. Her latest, it sounds really interesting, it’s just one I haven’t yet started. As a result, I decided to add book 2 to my list. Goodreads
3: A Sparkle of Silver by Liz Johnson | Why I haven’t picked up Liz Johnson’s new book yet I’ve not a clue. Her Prince Edward Island series is so entertaining, and I’m eager to discover what this, the start of her new series, is all about. Goodreads
4: The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla Laureano | Again, this is another one I have read, but in ARC format. Of course I’d really like to have a finished copy. Goodreads
5: The Dinner List by Rebecca Searle | I don’t know much about this one, but it looks fun and sounds it too! Goodreads
6: One Day in December by Josie Silver | Ahem. Ok, so here’s a self-buy gift: yes, I picked this one up on my day-in-the-city-shopping-trip. What can I say? There it sat in Barnes & Noble… and I think it had my name on it. Goodreads
7: It Had to Be You by Susan May Warren | I’ve read this one thanks to the publishing house, but don’t have a final copy. Needless to say, this is something I’ll remedy asap. Goodreads
*Update: Yes, this is another one I bought for myself.
8: The Accidental Beauty Queen by Terri Wilson | I don’t know that I’ve ever read one of Terri Wilson’s novels, but this one sounds really cute! Plus, I don’t read much in this world (pageants), but do love a good contemporary. Goodreads

Lauren @ Always me
They’re sure fun, Lauren. Let me know if you read them.
Thanks so much for the visit! Merry Christmas. :)
Yes, I know all about going to Amazon or the bookstore and seeing a book with my name on it. Especially if it’s $1.99 or $2.99… must… not… click… buy… oops, I clicked buy. Or I’m at Walmart and “oops, how did that get in my cart?” I hope you’re able to get these books soon.
Thanks, Brooke – and me too!! There’s so many must-read (or they sound like they are) books in the world. :)
Thanks for the visit.
My sister and I always buy books for each other. It’s awesome. :-) I hope you get your hands on these books soon. Merry Christmas, Rissi!
Merry Christmas to you as well, Chrissi… and same! Hope you and your sister exchange some awesome books this year – sounds like a fun tradition. :)
Appreciate your visit. Thank you!
All these sound so good and I hope you are able to get your hands on them soon. I need to get on my galley of The Dinner List. It looks like the perfect fluffy, curl up with, read. YAS, though, treat yourself and snag all the books your heart desires. Happy, happy, happiest of holidays!
Thanks, Jessica. Me too!
I agree. The Dinner List looks fun, and those are my kind of reads. :)
Merry Christmas to you and yours; I hope your day is special. Thanks for visiting!
I hope you find some good stuff under the tree. :) I’ve thought for a while that the Lynette Eason books look fun, and The Saturday Night Supper Club sounds good too (love that title).
Merry Christmas!!!
Lynette’s books are always fabulous. Hope you enjoy if/when you read them and Carla’s (and I agree; the title is perfect). Merry Christmas to you as well, and thanks for the visit. :)
Great list Rissi! I’d like to read, One Day In December. Merry Christmas. :)
Thanks, Kathy. Hope you enjoy ‘December’ if when you read it. Thanks for the visit!! :)
I hope you get all of those books!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Thanks – and I appreciate the visit! Merry Christmas to you. :)
I hope these books find their way to you! A Sparkle of Silver is a fabulous read! It was the first time I’d read anything by Liz Johnson and it really made me want to check out her previous books. Merry Christmas! :)
I’m so glad you enjoyed ‘Silver.’ I haven’t read it yet nor do I own a copy (yet!), but Liz’s PEI series is lovely, so this one is bound to follow in those footsteps. Thanks for the visit, Ashley. :)
I really need to read the Doon series – I’ve heard such good things!
I hope you get some of these and that you have a lovely Christmas! <3 x
My TTT post!
And I really hope you enjoy the series, Kyra. They’re really quite entertaining. :)
Same to you; hope you had a wonderful Christmas; and I appreciate the visit.
I hope you got all the gift cards so you can gift yourself all of these!
Thanks, Alicia! That’d be lovely. I do have some Amazon gift cards, so Amazon here we come… ;)
Appreciate your visit, as always.
I hope that you got some of these!! (Or bought yourself more of them hahah!) I haven’t actually heard of any of them, save Doon, but they look good! Hope you had an amazing Christmas!!
Thanks, Shannon; that latter is the story of my bookish life. ;) Doon is a fun series, and since I own three out of four finished, I’d like to pick up the one I don’t yet own. Soon…
Appreciate your visit; and same to you! Hope your Christmas, and New Year, were amazing.
It can be so hard to come up with a list of books we hope someone else will buy when Amazon makes it so easy to give into our own desires at the drop of a hat. I hope you got a few of these and had a fabulous Christmas.
Right!? Amazon and I spend WAY too much time together. Glad someone else understands. :D
Thanks so much for the visit, Katie; happy (belated) Christmas to you, and I hope 2019 got off to a wonderful start.
I hope Santa received your list in time and left a few of these under the tree for you! And I hope you had a great holiday!
Thanks, Niamh. He is Santa, so he certainly could have. :)
Same to you; hope your season was merry and bright, and 2019 is off to a grand start. Thanks for the visit!
