Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my 2020 Winter TBR




Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's theme is Books on our Winter TBR pile. In terms of pure numbers this year has been my best reading year for about four years so that's something to be celebrating isn't it? So these are books that I aim to be continuing my renewed reading mojo with over the next few months.



Something to Talk About by Rachael Johns - This is the follow up to Talk of the Town which I read not too long ago. Rachael Johns is always a good read.

Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams -This book has been on my radar ever since I heard the author talk about it! I need to read it!





500 Miles from You by Jenny Colgan - I listened to the previous book in this series not too long ago so I am keen to given this one a go now.

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo - I loved reading With the Fire on High earlier this year so I am super excited to read this one.




Kitchen Chinese by Ann Mah -  This is the next book in the Cook the Books bookclub.

Rosewater & Soda Bread by Marsha Mehran - This is the last book that I borrowed from the library before it closed that I haven't read yet, so I want to read it before the library opens again




The Pretty Delicious Cafe by Danielle Hawkins - I read a couple of Danielle Hawkins books earlier this year and now I intend to read them all.

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - I have seen and heard so much about this book recently. Even when I was out for dinner recently someone talked about it.




The Goldminer's Sister by Alison Stuart - This is a review book that I have coming up and the follow up to

Storm Glass by Maria V Snyder - After reading the original trilogy in this series, I am now going to read the next trilogy which focuses on a character that we have already met in the previous book.

  1. I've read A Gentleman in Moscow twice and loved it both times (once in print and once on audio). You're in for a treat! I also enjoyed Rules of Civility, which is also by Towles. Be sure to check out his website, where you can see photos of the Metropol.

  8. Nice list! I always find great-looking books to add to my TBR list when I visit your blog :) CLAP WHEN YOU LAND is one I definitely want to read, especially since, like you, I loved WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH. I love Jenny Colgan, so 500 MILES is on my TBR list. THE PRETTY DELICIOUS CAFE is one I hadn't heard of, but it looks like one I would enjoy.

    Happy TTT!

  14. A Gentleman in Moscow sounds interesting. I'm lucky because our library is offering curbside service now. It's not as good as being able to go to the shelves yourself (it can take a while to get a book even if it's already checked in) but I'm glad to have it again. Hope your library opens soon!
