Top Ten Tuesday #1: "Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree"


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Follow the link to learn more :)



Today's Prompt: 

"Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree"


I've never participated in this meme before, but when I saw today's prompt I just had to join in :) It's such a super fun prompt! 
And of course I could do about five hundred books I wouldn't mind left under my tree, but *sigh*......I don't have the time to spam you with my entire TBR pile. (And, okay, there's a reason it's called Top Ten Tuesday).  

Here are my picks: 
(and beware, there're a lot of caps ahead as I lose control of my fangirly self.....) 


1: A Court of Thorns and Roses - by Sarah J. Maas.
I still haven't got round to reading this book :( Grrrrrr......




















2: Scarlet - by A. C. Gaughen. 
It's a ROBIN HOOD RETELLING AND I LOVE ROBIN HOOD AND IT LOOKS SO EPIC AND EXCITING <3



















3: Unhooked - by Lisa Maxwell. 
It's a DARK, CREEPY, ROMANTIC, ACTION-PACKED Peter Pan retelling, OH MY WORD, and I LOVE Peter Pan and I NEED THIS NOW.




















4: Illuminae - by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. 
I have heard so many amazing things about this book so naturally I need it. 




















5: The Chemist - by Stephenie Meyer. 
This looks so so so so good. And the cover oozes creepy........



















6: Flawed - by Cecelia Ahern
I will read anything and everything Ahern writes, and this book looks FANTASTIC AND AMAZING




















7: Darkthaw - by Kate A. Boorman 
I loved the first book in this series and I need the rest of the series now please 




















8: But I Love Him - by Amanda Grace
This looks absolutely heart breaking, but it's a subject I feel strongly about and I'd love to read this story. 




















9: Six of Crows - by Leigh Bardugo
Am I the only person in the world who hasn't read this series yet? I DESPERATELY NEED IT, PLEASE SANTA




















10: To Catch a Pirate - by Jade Parker. 
I love pirates. They're dashing and hot and amazing and this book looks INCREDIBLE <3

  6. Great list! Flawed is amazing! One of my favourite books this year and I highly recommend it! I just added To Catch a Pirate to my TBR five minutes ago too! Probably a bit late for Christmas mind you.

    Thanks for visiting me!

  8. Oh my gosh! So many good looking books here! Scarlet is on my TBR already too but I hadn't heard of Unhooked. I want it!

    I haven't read a Leigh Bardugo yet - so nope! We may be the only two people on the planet who haven't read it, but at least there are two of us! :) I need to get to that since Crooked Kingdom has gotten so much praise! But eep... HYPE!

    Great picks and hope you get to some of these soon (especially ACOTAR ;) ;) )

    P.S. You have to love it ;)

  9. You have so many good choices on your list I hope Santa listens and leave you a few under the tree 🎄
    I have pretty much all of these books on my list or in my Kindle. Except darkthawed that one looks really cool. I know it's a number two in the series but I'm going to check out number one.
    This is my first time doing the top 10 feature too. But I just started blogging again so I guess it doesn't count everything is a first time LOL

  13. I would love to own a copy of Illuminae! It was one of my favorite reads this year, and it's basically an art form of it's own. Beautiful! This is a great list!

  15. A couple of days I definitely wouldn't mind getting myself, like Unhooked, ACOTAR and Illuminae. I hope Santa will give you some of them.

  16. Looks like we're in the same boat - we haven't read Six of Crows either! Yes read Illuminae, hope you enjoy it since we absolutely love it. A Court of Thorns and Roses is good too, it's very loosely based off Beauty and the Beast. If only Santa could get around to everyone. :):)
