Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
This week’s prompt: Books I Hope Santa Brings List the top 10 books you’d love to own and include a link to your wishlist so that people can grant your wishes. Make sure you link your wishlist to your mailing address or include the email address associated with your e-reader in the list description so people know how to get the book to you. After you post, jump around the Linky and grant a wish or two if you’d like. Please don’t feel obligated to send anything to anyone!
I am always grateful for anything I receive, so these are just books I have had on my wish list and if I do get a few for Christmas from Santa, that would be cool. If not, then that is ok too! I plan on granting a wish or two today! (wish list)
I have a few John Lewis-Stempel. I love his work and I am building a collection of his books.
Woodston || La Vie || Nightwalking (ok my husband just told me that I am getting this one…lol)
These all look fabulous to me! I love his nature writing, and his observations.
I am also working on a collection of L. M. Montgomery books as well!
Jane of Lantern Hill || Emily of New Moon
These two are on my wish list.
Watercolor in Nature || A Psalm for the Wild Built
I am not a great artist and I think the watercolor book looks like something I can handle and something that will be a good resource. I read A Psalm for the Wild-Built and I just really enjoyed it so much that I want to own it.
The Rainfall Market || The Baby Dragon Cafe || Secrets of the Bees
I love Jane Johnson, so I am super excited about Secrets of the Bees. And The Rainfall Market – that cover… I love it. Then, The Baby Dragon Cafe! I saw this on another blog on another TTT, and just have to read it. Dragons are so cute – and I have so many tiny ones in my house! (ok they are geckos but as close as I will get! )
And with that, I wish you all happy holidays and happy winter reading! I am looking forward to my own little bookworm opening the books that Santa brought him for Christmas this year!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
La Vie looks like a story I’d love to read. I wish it were more widely available; it’s not at any of my libraries. Watercolor in Nature also sounds great.

I know! I always ask for them for Christmas and my birthday because I can’t get them at the library either. 😦

Such a good husband! He’s clearly paying attention. All of these books have stunning covers. They would be great just for the artwork display.

He does! He told me about it since it is late arriving and he wanted to give it to me on Christmas Eve. I thought that was so sweet.

Merry Christmas!
We don’t do much Christmas giving, but I got some DVDs (British TV shows) and the book “Breaking the Chain” from the “Mutts” cartoon series (I already see myself bawling).
I know what I’m going to do the next few days!
Have fun with your book 🙂

We don’t do much among the adults here anymore either. Billy and I buy each other one or two small things and the rest of the presents we buy are for kids (and my mom). Oo what DVDs? I love British TV! Enjoy relaxing!

I might have tried to grant a wish but I don’t have your email address and Amazon takes you right to the book, but you have to have the person’s email to grant the wish 😉 I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

What a beautiful list, Erin! The only time I have ever received books as a gift is when I was in fourth grade and got my tonsils out. My dad bought me Call of the Wild and A Tale of Two Cities. I don’t think I ever did read the second, but I loved the first. I hope you get many of these books.
Merry Christmas to you, Wyatt, and Billy!

All of these look gorgeous and I hope at least some of them were left under the tree! Jane is one of my favorite Montgomery books though I was never a big Emily fan. Secrets of the Bees looks lovely and I must know more about The Baby Dragon Cafe!

You’ve hot a lot of really great books on this list! I tried to grant a wish, but it keeps trying to send it to me. You might need to change the settings on your wishlist to ‘public’ so that we can gift you books. I also really like how you’ve been putting an emphasis on wholesome children’s books and cozy fiction.
