Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

 

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke & The Bookish.

This weeks topic is:

Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

It feels like picking just ten is really hard, I kind of want Santa to bring me all of the books. I won't know what books I've gotten or how many until Christmas Day, so it's nice to kind of think about what I hope will be under my tree then.

Deciding what to put on my Christmas list was actually really hard. A lot of books I have as eARCs and just need to find the time to get to. So I saw no point asking for them when I could read them for free and possibly discover that I hate the book. So a lot of what I asked for were sequels I needed, books by certain authors, books I'd read and loved but didn't own yet and some others. And then the ten below:



These are definitely the ten I am most desperate to get my hands on. Snow Like Ashes being in the number one spot! I NEED THAT BOOK IN MY LIFE! There will be a very disappointed Charnell if that's not under my tree on Christmas Day! Some are ones I have wanted for so long but never gotten to - Unteachable, Sea of Tranquility and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (Stupidly long title aside!). Those I've recently heard a lot about and really want - Doon, Of Metal and Wishes and Loop. And then The Murder Complex, Talon and Rebel Belle just because they both sound rather awesome for different reasons.

    Snow Like Ashes and Loop are on my list as well! The Murder Complex and Of Metal and Wishes I just loved so they are great choices!!
    I hope you get a ton of the books you want this year for Christmas! I think it is funny how most of us (bloggers and reviewers) are mainly asking for books or gift cards this year. :)

      Well what else could we possibly want or need. I really hope I get them all, but Snow Like Ashes and The Murder Complex are two books I'd really love!

    I loved Ari and Danta and Rebel Belle! They are both incredible. I can't wait to read most of the other books but especially Snow Like Ashes. I've heard amazing things about it.

    Great list!

    I have Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe on my shelves though I haven't read it yet. I really want to read Rebel Belle and Of Metal and Wishes as they both sound like great books.

    Great list and Merry Christmas!

    I've seen The Murder Complex on a lot of lists this week! Aristotle and Dante is a book I had a lot of mixed feelings about, because it's SO hyped...but there's no doubt that it has a lot of really profound moments, and it's so unique for a YA book because it has two main characters that are both male. I hope you receive some of these under your tree this week and that you have a wonderful holiday celebration!

    Are you jealous? I have an e-arc of Talon! YES I DO. Sorry.. I'm pretty excited to see what it's about though, Iron Fey was great for me, Immortal Rules not, so lets see where this third direction goes shall we? Doon.. I've heard a lot, if you get it, I need to hear about it. Lets see, Rebel Belle, I just don't know enough about it to try it.. dang my memory. Anyway, hopefully you get some of them! :)

      Haha, I avoided the e-arc as I knew it was on my wishlist. But then I ended up hating the book. So... yeah, haha! :)

    I was a bit disappointed by Snow like ashes, but the cover *drools* Of metal and wishes has my interest after reading some positive reviews from trusted friends. Doon looks so fairytalish :D I can't wait to read Talon, I've loved all her work so far. I hope Santa won't let you down!

    Doon is also on my TTT :-D I borrowed The Sea of Tranquility from the library so I'm looking forward to reading that one! I'd also like to read Rebel Belle, Snow Like Ashes, Talon and Of Metal and Wishes!

    Merry Christmas :-D I hope you find some of these books under your tree!

    The Sea of Tranquility made my list too, and I completely forgot about Unteachable, I added that to my TBR wishlist after seeing you talk about it once. Loop is one I wasn't overly excited about, but then the reviews started coming in, so now I'm intrigued! Will you be doing an xmas haul?? That would excite me!! I think this year is the first year in a long time when I'll actually get books/bookish gifts for Xmas, and that excites me so much - looks like blogging has reminded my family that there is a die hard reader in their midst too!

    Snow Like Ashes is great! The next book is coming out, so maybe we can wish for it to magically show up under the tree together! The Sea of Tranquility has been on my list for a while now, too. I hope you get all the books (or the giftcards... to get the books) you want!

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Ooh, yes, these are fantastic life decisions, yes yes. I've been so bleh lately I didn't even get my post up but YES FOR SNOW LIKE ASHES!! I want to read that so badly. :)) But my library did just buy it and I am on the waiting list, heeh. And Ari & Dante is beautiful. I so recommend it. I found Rebel Belle way too glitzy and fluffy. It's wasn't at all what I thought it'd be, still funny, but yes. Hehe. Too fluffy. xD
    I hope you have a good break and Christmas! AND GET TO EAT LOTS OF NICE FOOD. Yum.

    Awesome list! 4 of those books could totally have been on my wishlist as well. The Sea of Tranquility, Snow Like Ashes, Of Metal and Wishes, and Unteachable! I'm really looking forward to Leah Raeder's next book as well, Black Iris. I hear that's supposed to be LGBTQ NA which is quite rare so I'm excited! I should probably read Unteachable before then though.

    Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping by @ Afterwritten!

    Great post!!! I've heard sooo much about Snow like Ashes. I will have to hunt that down in my local library. 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe' - I've wanted to read that book for such a while! Loop and Rebel Belle sound really interesting, glad you mentioned them. I think I'll wait for your verdict on rebel Belle, but Loop is going on the TBR. Have a great Christmas!
