Books I Am Holding Santa Hostage For

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is: Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Bringing This Year

This I can actually probably do in 10 books. Yay for rule following! This is simply because I made a wishlist and these books were on it. And I have probably either purchased or pre-ordered all the other books. Here we go!

These seem to have themes or something. Pictures link to Goodreads!

Here we have the spacey books:

Time/Dimension Travelling Books:

1928667318309634

The Red Lovey Books:

The Covers That Want to Freak You Out or Kick Your Ass:

(Old-timey pictures and creepy font freak me out, okay? In a good way.)

So, which books are you begging Santa for this year? Do you think you fell into the “nice” category and will be receiving them?santas-coming

  1. I’m always nice. 😉 So Santa better be bringing me all the books that I want. Or else.

    I honestly forgot which 10 I put on my wishlist and gave to the family, so I just didn’t bother doing this TTT. I really want Caged in Winter and I’ll Give You the Sun. There were more, but again, I’m drawing a blank. I had to create two wishlists, so I forgot which ones I put on which. Anyway, I want all the books! Is that so wrong?

    • It is not at all wrong to want all the books. In fact, it is the right thing to do. I hope you can get these books for sure. I’ll Give You the Sun was SO good. I don’t know anything about the other book, but I hope you get them 🙂

  2. Both These Broken Stars and Zodiac have such wonderful covers *o* They’re on my TBR pile but I honestly don’t know when I’m going to get to those :C Although I couldn’t make it through The 5th Wave, The Infinite Sea cover is awesome like you said! I feel like I’ve seen Forbidden before but I guess I’ll have to look into that one a little more haha. HOPE YOU HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING!

    Here’s my Top Ten: https://bookrambles.wordpress.com/2014/12/23/top-ten-books-i-wouldnt-mind-santa-bringing-this-year/

  3. I like how you organized your books! LOVED These Broken Stars and The Shape of My Heart. I have copies of Zodiac, Loop, Love and Other Unknown Variables and Forbidden that I still need to read… So many books. So little time.

    Happy holidays and happy reading!

    My TTT!

  4. hehe I hope you get all of these. I’ve heard mostly good things about Zodiac. I read the entire except of Stranger on Amazon! I really wanted it from Netgalley, but looks like I’m going to have to find it elsewhere. I only asked for like five books, because I doubt I’ll get them all as is and that way the ones I do get will be my most wanted. 🙂 I can’t believe it’s two days until Christmas!

    • I wanted it from Netgalley too, but they said no. Grr. They didn’t even technically say no, I think they just removed the book and never responded. More anger.

      I think your plan was a solid one, because I had a long list, and I ended up with books that I only moderately wanted. Next year, I am using the Molly plan for sure 🙂

  5. Ah the spacey books <3 You definitely need to read These Broken Stars, and then This Shattered World as well 😀 I’m also a huge supporter of Loop. It’s adorable and the time travel is pretty well explained.

    The Infinite Sea was better than The 5th Wave, in my opinion. It was more concise and action-packed. And the FEEELSSSSS.

    • AH, this makes me so happy! I did end up getting These Broken Stars (yay!) but not the others. Now I have to decide which ones are priority uses of my gift card 😉 I am so glad that The Infinite Sea was more concise- that was 100% my problem with The 5th Wave, so this pushes it even higher on the list! Ah, decisions 😉

  6. YES I WAS NICE THIS YEAR. KIND OF. MAYBE. Ok shhhh let’s just move on.

    THAT COVER FOR ZODIAC IS BEAUTIFUL. I’ve never heard of it so must check it out nowww. And yes These Broken Stars, I’ve read both in the series but I kind of want hard copies of them. ANYWAYS, I hope Santa listens to you and gives you ALL THE BOOKS 😛 Poor Santa being held hostage. I don’t know if that will help with YOUR PRESENTS SHANNON

    • Hahah I love that you can’t decide if you were good or bad. Also, I have lots of books for Santa to read while he is my prisoner, so he will be just fine. I might even let him watch The Hunger Games.

  7. Great picks! FORBIDDEN!!! I hope you get that book in your life. Although not sure I’d call it a lovey book, more of a soul destroying book. BE PREPARED!!! 🙂 I really hope I get Loop for Christmas, have been seeing so many good things about that book recently. I hope you find at least some of these under your tree this year 🙂 Here’s my TTT

  8. Loop, Now that You’re Here, and Stranger seem amazing. I clicked on Zodiac because I liked it’s cover but the story seemed like a bit of a mess so… maybe next time. Well, I’ve got 3 new books for my TBR I think! I hope you enjoy the books you ordered. Merry Christmas!
