It’s another Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is all about Winter TBRs. This means I have to set some guidelines for myself. Because I have a continent-sized TBR and a pretty good stack for immediate reading, I’m mostly including books I’m anticipating for early 2018 and a few others I hope to read over the winter break. It contains mostly favorite authors and a few highly anticipated titles by new-to-me authors. So, you won’t find the requisite Christmas novellas here! But, people, I will be reading all things Merry in December, too.
One more note: as I compile this list, I see that my TBR has a TON of historical novels… and that makes my nerdy reader heart happy. Looking at 2017, I read more contemporary than historical, so this trend will be a pleasant switch.
Top 10 Books on my Winter TBR
Historical:
The Lacemaker by Laura Frantz
A Song Unheard by Roseanna M. White
A Refuge Assured by Jocelyn Green
The Sea Before Us by Sarah Sundin
Impossible Saints by Clarissa Harwood
Not by Sight by Kate Breslin
Contemporary:
Troubled Waters by Susan May Warren
The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla Laureano
Dual/Multiple Timelines:
The Lost Castle by Kristy Cambron
The House on Foster Hill by Jaime Jo Wright
Isn’t this a gorgeous collection of covers?! Which one is your favorite?
What does your winter TBR look like? Did you participate in this week’s TTT? Have you read any of these authors before?
The Green Mockingbird 
The Saturday Night Supper Club looks interesting just because of the food, haha.
I’ve seen it on a few TTT’s now and I’m getting more and more tempted to add it to my TBR as well!
Happy reading! 🙂
Haha! I would be interested in The Saturday Night Supper Club just for the food, but I happened to read another book by Carla that I LOVED so I’m extra excited! Thanks for visiting!
Great choices my friend! We have very similar tastes.
Now if these beauties would hurry up and release! 😉
Hugs! Andi
That’s SO true!!!! But, reality is I have a few books to get through first, so I will try to be patient! 🙂
I spy quite a few similarities between our lists this week! Impossible Saints looks intriguing. I’ll be interested to know what you think of it.
They are similar! 🙂 Great minds think…. er, read, alike. 🙂 Yes, I’m excited for Impossible Saints! I blame it on Rachel McMillan. She wrote a very interesting and gushing review on her blog that caught my attention. I recommend reading her thoughts (if for entertainment purposes alone!).
I’m looking forward to a lot of these too. The House on Foster Hill is really good.
That’s great to know, Jill!!!!! I’m happy you “dropped by” to comment!
These all look wonderful! I already read The House on Foster Hill and it is amazing. I don’t read a lot of contemporary but I think I’ll make an exception for The Saturday Night Supper Club. 🙂 And I must say, the covers are ALL stunning. They just keep getting better! Thanks so much for including A Refuge Assured!
That’s good to know about The House on Foster Hill ! And Supper Club just sounds fun . I agree, the covers are a beautiful collection! I’m very excited for yours, too ;). Thanks for visiting!
Fabulous choices! And yes, these covers are gorgeous. My lists always tend towards historical fiction as well, but I agree with your contemporary choices.
Why thank you!!!! I honestly love both historical and contemporary fiction, but this lineup of historical seems exceptionally promising. 🙂 Happy reading!
Great list, Courtney! It’s hard to pick a favorite cover…they’re all so pretty! But I do particularly like the cover for The Saturday Night Supper Club. 🙂
I’m eager to hear what you think of The Lacemaker! And I really need to read the first in Roseanna White’s new series soon. I’ve heard such good things!
Happy winter reading, friend!

Yes, I couldn’t pick a favorite, either!!!! I’m thrilled about The Lacemaker’s release. Laura Frantz ALWAYS delivers a fascinating story.
And YES, you need to read Roseanna White’s ASAP!!!! Here’s my gushing thoughts on the first book to further convince you: https://thegreenmockingbird.wordpress.com/2017/08/18/review-a-name-unknown-by-roseanna-m-white/
“Dual timelines” — that’s the term I was looking for when I was making my list! I couldn’t remember what the device was called (I said “back-and-forth-in-time” – ha ha). I adore dual timeline stories, so I’ll definitely check out the ones you list. Also, those historical covers are gorgeous! Wow.
Happy TTT!

“back-and-forth-in-time” definitely works!!! 😉 Yes, I like it when that really works well in a story. Rachel Hauck is another author who has tackled that type of storytelling very well. Happy reading to you, Susan!
So many books with pretty dresses. I hope you get a chance to read all these!
Aren’t they gorgeous!!?? And fitting of each era! Thank you!
I MUST have Impossible Saints!!! I love the cover and the story sounds like something I would love! The Saturday Night Supper Club sounds good too!
I’m excited to read Impossible Saints!!! The cover is so pretty. I hope you get to read it, too! Thanks for visiting!
Hey Courtney – THANK YOU for including The Lost Castle on your list! (BTW… My TBR list just grew by miles. Ha ha!) Two books I’ve read (and loved) on this list belong to Jaime Jo Wright and Sarah Sundin — but all of your choices are amazing authors and I’ll enjoy reading the rest. Just in case y’all are taking notes! 😉
You’re quite welcome! I’m really looking forward to it!
Oh yay, glad I could add some to your TBR, too! At least I’m not the only one with a towering TBR. And that’s wonderful to know about Jaime’s and Sarah’s. 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to “visit”!
Thank you for including The Sea Before Us! What an honor. Personally, I’m hoping for lots of rain this winter so I have plenty of time to READ!! So many good books by so many good authors! I got a sneak peek at The Lost Castle, and it’s excellent!
You’re very welcome, Sarah! Thank you for dropping by! And HAPPY winter reading! 🙂
