Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl!
Prompt: Books I hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes
Hello everyone, and happy holidays!
Today’s post is all about posting the books we would most like to add to our collection. My list is usually comprised of books I have already and loved, because I tend to read most books from the library first. Then if I love them, I want to have my own copy. But some books are on my list because I can’t get them from the library.
The other aspect of this prompt is the chance to gift another blogger a book from their list. I do love to pick a blogger or two (by putting all the names of people with posted lists in a hat and having Wyatt pick) to gift a book. As Jana says, “This week’s topic, Bookish Wishes, is a popular one and one I host twice a year (around Christmas and again in June)! 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!”
My list link is here and I am sharing with no expectations at all.
And that is it for me! I am excited to go read everyone’s posts today, and hopefully grant a wish or two!
I wish you all happy holidays and a happy December!
There are quite a few there I like the look of!
Cat’s People is so good. It is just a feel good book and I find myself recommending it to everyone!
Oooh, I love the sound of La Vie!
Right? John Lewis-Stempel is one of my favorite authors! He writes the best nature nonfiction in my opinion.
Moon of the Crusted Snow looks really good! Just added it to my TBR 🙂 I’ve also got Enchanted Greenhouse on my to-read. I hope you enjoy all of these (and even gifted some)! Happy holidays!
I am soo intrigued by Moon of the Crusted Snow! It looks so good and I love that it is an Indigenous voice.
First of all, I love your Top Ten Tuesday banner! All of the books on your list look so fun, especially The Enchanted Greenhouse 😊
If you’d like to visit, here’s my TTT: (I didn’t have many bookish wishes for once, so I chose to do an older prompt I missed)

Oops, looks like I posted my comment in the wrong place! Sorry about that guys 😅
You are good!
Thank you!! The Enchanted Greenhouse was such a fun book. It made me feel super warm and cozy.
These are all new to me, but I am loving a lot of the covers! I’m going to bookmark your page until I have time to go back and look through them on Goodreads. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
Lol I am with you on that! I posted this morning then I had to go shop and then baked the entire rest of the day. I am hoping to sit and read everyone’s posts and drink coffee tomorrow morning!
Nice list. I like seeing Raising Hare (on my list too) … and I might need to add the other nature one: Ponies at the Edge of the World. I have read Moon of the Crusted Snow … it’s pretty good …. I need to read the sequel still.
Raising Hare looks so good. I love rabbits and hares and I need to read that one. And doesn’t Ponies look amazing too? And I am glad to hear that Moon of the Crusted Snow is good!
One year I included my wishlist and I was shocked to receive several books from my list. Wow.
I think this is such a fun thing. I like to pick a person or two to surprise!
I loved Raising Hare.
Raising Hare is such an interesting book. I didn’t even know that rabbits and hares weren’t the same thing until reading this book. Happy holidays.
I didn’t know until recently either! I am really excited to read it one day! Lol.
I enjoyed Raising Hare! I like the nature focus of many of your books. I hope you receive some of these!
Thank you! And I am glad to hear that you enjoyed Raising Hare!
Merry Christmas, Erin! Santa will have a delivery on the 27th 😉 I tried to get While The Earth Holds It’s Breath, but it wouldn’t ship to a wishlist address (weird). But, I still got you a book from your Amazon list. Merry Christmas!!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Cindy!!!! That is so nice of you! And it so funny, because I bought you a book today too! LOL. It says it will be there Sunday.
Erin, that is funny!! You did not have to do that, BUT, THANK YOU!!! I appreciate your blogging friendship! I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas!!
I hope Santa brings you some or all of these 🙂 Some of these covers did catch my eye!

The John Lewis-Stempel books look fun!
I love John Lewis-Stempel. He writes the best nature nonfiction in my opinion. 🙂
It looks like you have some lovely books you want to add to your collection. I hope Santa brings you one or two this week.

Thank you Pam!
Wishing for your bookish dreams to come true!
Thanks for sharing your TTT list.
You’re smart to read books from the library and then only buy the ones you really like. I should try that! Ha ha.
Merry Christmas and Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Lol it has helped out our budget and our bookshelves quite a bit! Lol.
Cat’s People grabbed my attention. I’ll have to look for that one. This is a great list.
Merry Christmas!
It was possibly my favorite read of the whole year.
I’ve heard good things about Raising Hare! I also will read The Enchanted Greenhouse at some point.
I have too! Although I am nervous to read it on one level. I hate sad animal endings and I I don’t know how this one ends. Lol.
The Enchanted Greenhouse sounds delightful. Happy holidays!
