Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
As I was recently reminded this weekend due to an almost 24 hour blackout at home, books are a great resource to have when you have no internet, very minimal light during the early winter nights and a dying phone/tablet. Books are clearly an investment for such a time, am I right?
Accordingly, this week’s TTT is looking at my winter TBR. Normally in the past, I listed out new books coming out at this time that I want to put on high priority in my TBR, but as there were so many great books that came out recently I have yet to read still, this following list will be a combination of ARCs releasing in the winter and books that have come out that I have yet to read.
Released books





1. Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
2. Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong
3. The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik
4. You’ll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus
ARCs





6. Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz
7. Being Mary Bennet by J.C. Peterson
8. Loveboat Reunion by Abigail Hing Wen
9. The Rumor Game by Dhionelle Clayton and Sona Charaipotra
10. Only a Monster by Vanessa Len
Have you read any of these titles yet? I know the list of recent releases have all been rated fairly highly so I’m hoping I’ll be like the rest and enjoy them.
But yes, the moral of this story is to always, and I mean always, have a book on hand in case of blackouts.

Anatomy has such a great cover! Wow.

I’m a weirdo who loves when the power goes out. I just grab my flashlight and read until it comes back. It’s great. I hope you love these books!

So true! I wouldn’t get bored (except maybe a bit cold with lack of heat) but otherwise I’m as good as can be.
