Oh, this week's The Broke & The Bookish Top10 should be
easy-peasy! I already have a stack of books waiting for me on December 1st. :)
I am very much in the holiday spirit this year, so I really want to read lots
of Christmas/holiday/wintery books. And I am off work 2 glorious weeks Christmas thru New Year's, so I see lots and lots of reading time in my future!
1. My True Love Gave to Me (various awesome authors!) -I am
sooooo excited about this one, I've barely been able to stop myself from
reading it yet! I think I might read one story a night the twelve days leading up to Christmas. :)
2. The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson -this is my classic pick for December, the story that Frozen is based on. Since I am still addicted to all things Frozen, I thought this was perfect.
3. Snowed In by Rachel Hawthorne -a cute contemporary romance? Yes, please!
4. The Santa Society by Kristine McCord -"a clandestine world of the Santa Society, a centuries
old secret organization that protects the truth behind Christmas." Bonus:
it's free on Kindle right now!
5. Mistletoe Magic by Melissa McClone -another freebie I
picked up solely because of the cute kitty on the cover lol. Oh and the
cowboys!
6. Let it Snow by John Green & others -3 more great authors! I can't wait!!
7. Confessions of a Secret Santa by Lara Bergen -I don't know why I like this little book so much, but I do! I've read it at least 4 times!
8. The Thing About Jane Spring by Sharon Krum -another reread, of my absolute favorite winter book! It's not very well known, but I highly recommend it! "One snowy night while watching a Doris Day marathon on cable
it hits Jane: Doris Day always got her man."
9. Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery -I've been reading the later books (5-6) recently and they're not bad, but they don't have the magic of the first book, so it's really making me want to go back and read that one. And while it is not a Christmas or winter book, I read it the first time around then, so it's etched in my brain as one now.
10. The Ex-Games by Jennifer Echols -this is a slight cheat, because I just read this one last weekend! It was a cute, quick read and if you like the author, then you'll like this one!
11.Bonus: I took a bunch of Christmas romance anthologies from my mom last year when we were helping her move and I might get to some of those too. Lots of cowboys and heaving bosoms and such lol.
12.Another Bonus: I have several Christmas children's (picture) books that I would love to read and review for My Favorite Children's Books feature. I should definitely get started on that soon!
I'm really looking forward to reading My True Love Gave To Me. Great list and I hope that you get to read these soon. :)
