Jen's Top Ten Books She Hopes Santa Brings
- Anything Goes: A Biography of the Roaring Twenties by Lucy Moore: I wish I could have been in my twenties in the 1920's.
- A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly: Ever since I read Revolution last year I've been itching to read this book! Yet for some reason I still haven't purchased it myself.
- The Lost Girls by Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, Amanda Pressner: I pretty much want their life and I know I will be insanely jealous when I read this book but I haven't read a good travel book in far too long.
- Rebel Angles by Libba Bay: I read A Great and Terrible Beauty a couple years ago and still haven't finished the trilogy. It's one of those books that I never think to look for when I'm in the bookstore.
- A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass: This book has been on my Goodreads TBR list since I first joined the site!
- The Paris Wife by Paula McLain: A couple weeks ago I downloaded a sample chapter and wanted so badly to keep reading! But I must resist the urge to shop for myself so close to the holidays.
- The Stormchasers by Jenna Blum: I really want to read this book but tornadoes freak me out so much.
- Everlasting by Angie Frazier: This book sounds really good. Unfortunately, it's too overpriced for me (both the hardcover and e-book were both pretty expensive last time I looked).
- What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen: Dessen's most recent book that I've been wanting to read. I'm impatiently waiting for the paperback edition though...a hardcover wouldn't match with the rest of her books I own!
- Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson: Okay, so I know this book isn't even out yet BUT Santa's elves must have connections to the book publishing world, right?
Oooh good choice with the Paris Wife! Heard it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat List, I haven't heard of any of them but I will have to check them out. =]
ReplyDeleteHere is My Top Ten =]

Some great picks on your list! I have had 'A Mango-Shaped Space' sitting for far too long on my bookshelf- gah! I would also like to get a copy of Second Chance Summer ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I haven't heard of most of these books, I might check them out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful meme. I posted my list.
ReplyDeleteI also haven't heard of most of these but I will have to give them a try :)
ReplyDeletehappy top ten tuesday!

Wow, I have actually never heard of any of these books. They sound really good though!
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to go through other people's lists since we have such different tastes in books!
ReplyDeleteI loved Morgan Matson's 'Amy and Rogers Epic Detour' I can't wait to read her next novel. and yes the twenties sounds fabulous...
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'm glad to see someone else who has to have uniformity in their books. I returned The Iron Prince to wait for the regular paperback to come out so it will match the first three, lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Lots of books I haven't heard of, except for Sarah Dessen. I have that book on my shelf just begging to be read.
ReplyDeleteOk I had fun with this list. And anything I don't get this holiday season, I'm going to go ahead and purchase myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I loved Rebel Angels.
ReplyDeleteI like your list, they all sounds interesting books!
ReplyDeleteOf your list, I"ve only read The Paris Wife, but like you, I'd like to read Mango Shaped Space.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Paris Wife and I really liked it! I hope you get a copy.
ReplyDeleteI have a library copy of The Paris Wife sitting on my shelf, but am hoping my book club will read it later this year, so I'm waiting. Luckily, I have quite a few other books to be read!
ReplyDeleteI just hope we gave Santa enough time with these lists . . .
The Paris Wife is high on my list, too. A firend told me that she would recommend it to people who know the ups and downs of marriages and that they would possibly enjoy it more. Anyway, I am not married.
ReplyDeleteSorry, my link is a little messed up.
A Mango Shaped Space is really great! I love Wendy Mass! Great List! I hope Santa brings all of your books! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteKaris's Top Ten
Awesome list...I hope you get all of these! What Happened to Goodbye is amazing! You will love it!
ReplyDeleteJennifer
I'm sure Santa's elves have great connections--Have a merry Christmas. http://ladygaladrielkj.blogspot.com/2011/12/tuesday-top-ten-and-teaser-dear-santa.html
ReplyDeleteStormchasers! I've been rather interested in them since seeing that Bill Paxton/Helen Hunt film, "Twister".
ReplyDeleteI have The Lost Girls, and I can't wait to read it! I love to travel and I just want to read about all of their adventures.
ReplyDeleteAnd The Paris Wife sounds good too! Though I'm merely a sucker for Paris itself...
Great list and I hope you get and enjoy all your book wishes.
ReplyDeleteLoved A Northern Light, Rebel Angels AND What Happened to Goodbye; hope you get copies soon!
ReplyDeleteThe Lost Girls is also one I would like, but did not make my top ten! Great list!
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to resist shopping for myself with all these incredible lists!! I'm adding The Roaring Twenties to my WishList!
ReplyDeleteWhoops...I meant Anything Goes, of course...;)
ReplyDeleteI like your list, especially The Paris Wife and A Mango Shaped Space . I hope you these!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first week doing top ten and I am enjoying reading everyone's list.
ReplyDeleteI read What Happened to Goodbye in maybe three days. I hope Santa delivers and happy holidays.
ReplyDeleteI read and blogged about The Paris Wife last month, it was a really good read...though a little bittersweet! Happy holidays, everyone! :)

ReplyDeleteI have read 5 of Dessen's books but I haven't read What Happened to Goodbye yet, I'm kind of scared to. Haha I'm the same! I saw it on half priced books for cheap but all my Dessen books were paperback and I didn't want to ruin the pattern. LOL at the santa's elves comment, if only they did!! Matson sophomore novel even sounds better then her debut. I'm excited for it!
ReplyDeleteRacquel @ The Book Barbies
-thank you&come again.
I've never read any of the books on your list but what a fun topic! It even drew me out of my grad school stupor long enough to write up my own post! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I changed Santa to the Winter Fairy in my post. :P And I love love loved A Mango Shaped Space. Such a sweet book! What Happened to Goodbye is great also! :)
