This weeks topic? Top Ten Books On My TBR List For Winter

So, yeah…this was one of the most easy and difficult lists ever. I could have kept adding to it for days! There are so many books I want to read in the next few months. I tried to keep the list to books coming out between now and the end of March, but I slipped on a couple. Obviously there’s no particular “real” order to these, but I hope you enjoy!

1. A Million Suns by Beth Revis – You can’t go wrong with YA Sci-Fi and Beth Revis is a genius. This is a sequel I can’t wait for!
2. Angel Fire by L.A. Weatherly – To say I loved Angel Burn (the first book in this series) would be an understatement. I’ve been putting off reading this one until I have time to really enjoy it and the holidays are going to be perfect for it.
3. Fever by Lauren DeStefano – I’m dying to read this! I received an advanced copy of Wither last year, but didn’t get this one and I’m totally bummed. It has been forever since I read the first one and I need this next installment. I’ve heard it’s nothing but amazing!
4. Hallowed by Cynthia Hand – I adored the first book in this series, Unearthly, and when I received an advanced copy I’m not kidding when I say I actually hugged it. I can’t wait to read it over the holidays!
5. The Girl Who Could Silence the Wind by Meg Medina – I received an early copy of this book and let me just say, it needs to be one everyone’s lists! I love Meg Medina and she truly knows how to write a compelling story. Gorgeous!
6. Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett and Illustrated by Jon Klassen – And thus begins the Jon Klassen lovefest! Yes, our family happens to be huge fans of Jon Klassen and we’ve been reading this one non-stop. It’s fantastic!
7. House Held Up by Trees by Ted Kooser and Illustrated by Jon Klassen – I just discovered this one and cannot wait to read & share it with the kiddos! It looks fabulous!
8. Love, Mouserella by David Ezra Stein – So technically this one is already out and has been since September, but I’ve recently received a copy and can’t wait to read it over the holidays with Turkeybird & Littlebug. They absolutely adored Interrupting Chicken, so this is bound to be a favorite as well.
9. Listen to My Trumpet! (An Elephant and Piggie Book) by Mo Willems – This one is so new it doesn’t even have a cover yet! But I’m positive it will be good, you simply can’t go wrong with Elephant and Piggie and Mo Willems!
10. Night Knight by Owen Davey – Seriously, look at this cover! Isn’t it adorable?! I cannot wait to read this with the kiddos. I think Littlebug is going to love that little Knight!

Now, your turn! What books are you looking forward to over the next few months?
