Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish



1.  ASK THE PASSENGERS: Or, any AS King book. I recently finished and loved EVERYBODY SEES THE ANTS so I'm slowly hunting down other books by AS King.

2.  WATER FOR ELEPHANTS (original paperback cover): I love this book!

3.  The new HP Paperback Boxed Set: The new set looks fabulous. My originals are falling to pieces, so it would be nice to upgrade.

4.  QUINTANA OF CHARYN (hardcover): I'm waiting until I get this book in HC before I catch up and start FROI.

5.  VICIOUS: It sounds so good! *wants*

6.  WINGER: I read about one hundred pages before I had to return it, but I loved what I read. It would be nice to own a copy so I could finish!

7.  #SCANDAL: Yes, I know it's not out yet, but I'm sure Santa could pull some strings.

8.  THE GOLDEN LILY: I liked the first novel, so I'm curious to see what happens next!

9.  THE ARCHIVED: I read a preview, loved it, and now this is the one book I try hunting down but never quite find in bookstores.

10.  Honestly, I'd be happy to receive any book. Santa rarely brings me books. He just gives me practical items that are useful but no fun.

What top ten books are you hoping to receive from Santa?

Short Blogging Break



Hey everyone!

I am going to be taking a short blogging break while I'm finishing up this semester in college. I thought I could balance everything, but I would rather take a little blogging time off and come back after I'm done with final essays / projects.

If you're stuck in finals week too, best of luck to you! Hope you all have a great week.
