Top Ten Tuesday: Christmas Wish List
As always, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
(Covers link to Goodreads.)
Today's topic is: Top Ten Books I wouldn't mind Santa bringing this year.
People wondering what last minute gifts to get me for Christmas - take note. :-)
1-5 are books I've read and want to own copies of, and 6-10 are books I haven't read yet.
1. The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.
I desperately want a nice box set. There are so many gorgeous ones out there!
2. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein.
So I can reread it and torture myself again and again and again.
3. The Grisha books by Leigh Bardugo.
Hardcover, of course. No paperback for these beautiful babies.
4. The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater.
5. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
6. Letters from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien.
This is a collection of letters that he wrote to his children under the name of Father Christmas. THEY ARE WORKS OF ART.
7. Texts from Jane Eyre by Mallory Ortberg
Clever clever clever. I love it.
8. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
I've heard such excellence about this series.
9. The Girl With All The Gifts by M. R. Carey
10. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
I have never read any Rainbow Rowell. I must fix this deficiency.
What would you like Santa to bring you?

Those are gorgeous, gorgeous sets of Tolkien's works! I have my own copies of his trilogy and The Hobbit but they're old second hand copies. Now I want those sets so bad!

I'm just going to cough "Lord of the Rings Box Set" casually at my parents for the next few days. :-)
DeleteOh, the Tolkien sets look wonderful. I would love, love, love a beautiful copy like those. Probably Narnia ones too! :)
ReplyDeleteI also want hardback copies of the Grisha Trilogy. <33
Gosh, we've really got to get shopping!
DeleteTexts From Jane Eyre made my list too! It's such a clever idea, it would be a great gift for a book lover! I really love the Throne of Glass series, I hope you get to enjoy it soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
I'm SUPER SUPER excited to read Throne of Glass. I need to get back into fantasy!
DeleteFun covers! I own The Lord of the Rings Folio Edition ..... I stumbled upon a good price on Ebay .... but it would be nice to add The Hobbit and The Silmarillion too!
ReplyDeleteHave yourself a very Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you too! I hope you get and give many books!
DeleteSanta definitely needs to bring you Throne of Glass OR I AM GOING TO EXPLODE. YOU MUST READ IT SOOOOOON, SOPHIA. PLEASE!! It is like the series of most amazingness. And oh. Yes yes yes to The Raven Cycle. Lucky for me, my birthday is like 2 weeks after christmas, heeeeh, so I am waving my list of books I want in my family's face. They love me. I'm sure of it. I'm sure I'm never annoying.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is two months after Christmas, so not too bad. I am doing the same. :-)
DeleteFAMILY COME LOOK AT THIS LIST RIGHT HERE YES
Excellent list! I highly recommend Fangirl and Throne of Glass (but the other cover, not that boring one.) :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT.
