“Give me your hat.”
First line in The Bone Ships by R. J. Barker
It’s Tuesday, and today it’s time to look at the books I plan to read but won’t *cough* I mean that I will for sure read this winter. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, so head over there to check out the future topics.
If we start by looking back on my fall TBR, I’ve read 4 out the 8 books I put on that. However, I’m currently reading a fifth. Yes, more than half is a win. The 3 books I didn’t manage to get to were: The Martian by Andy Weir, Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix. All of these will carry on to my winter TBR.
As usual, I only put 8 books on my seasonal TBRs and not 10 because even 8 is clearly a challenge for me. I refuse to go lower than that, though. The last 5 books on this TBR are all books I really need to read. They are all sequels that I need to get to before I forget too much of the previous books. But no more talking. Here are the 8 books I plan to read in winter:
- The Martian by Andy Weir
- Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
- The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter #7) by J. K. Rowling (reread)
- Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive #4) by Brandon Sanderson
- The Archive of the Forgotten (Hell’s Library #2) by A. J. Hackwith
- Call of the Bone Ships (The Tide Child #2) by R. J. Barker
- The Beauty of Darkness (The Remnant Chronicles #3) by Mary E. Pearson
The big challenge is without a doubt Rhythm of War because that is going to take me weeks to finish. However, I’m determined to finally read all 8 books from a seasonal TBR. Let me know what you plan to read in the near future and which of these books you think I should prioritize.
First Line Reader 
I hope you manage to read all of these and enjoy them!
I really need to read The Martian as well!

This looks like such a great TBR – all that fantasy and additional Romeoness! 😍 But apart from Deathly Hallows, I think the one I’m most excited for you to read is The Martian! My math-loving brain absolutely ate up all the sciency stuff in it, and even though I know some people thought Mark Watney was really annoying, I adored his sense of humor! This is one of my favorite sci-fi books for sure 😊

I’m going to miss writing about Romeo 😂 I really don’t know what to expect from The Martian other than people say it’s funny. You’ve also talked so much about how you love that book, so I need to give it a go 😊

The Martian was excellent! If you haven’t seen the film based on it yet, do check that out as well. It was also quite well done.

I love the books I’ve read by Sanderson, but his novels are SOO huge that I often find them intimidating! Good luck with RHYTHMS OF WAR 🙂
Happy TTT!

Good idea about not putting ten books on the list. I have ten but I don’t think I”ll actually get to more than 3 or 4. It’s more of a wish I could read list, I guess.
I have wanted to read Sanderson books for ages. I’m just a bit intimidated as to where to start. The Martian is really good though. Here’s my winter TBR list: https://nishitak.com/2020/12/15/top-ten-tuesday-my-winter-2020-tbr/

Yeah, ten is just impossible for me and it would just stress me out.
Sanderson has a lot of intimidating books, too. Just maybe don’t choose Stormlight to start with 😊
