Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my Christmas Wish List

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Being a blogger and now editor for the Historical Novel Society, I get so many free books I don’t really put any on my Christmas wish list. So instead here are books I am looking forward to reading, in no particular order.

1. Out of Time by Jodi Taylor: Book 6 of the Time Police series by Jodi Taylor will be out in October 2025, and I can’t wait.

2. A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge will be out in April 2025. It is Book 3 of the “An American in Paris” mystery series, in which Julia Child is a supporting character.

3. Tomato Sandwiches are Eaten Over the Sink: Sean Dietrich, the author of Kinfolk, which was my favorite read of 2023, released a collection of his columns and short stories in October 2024 that I’m looking forward to reading.

4. The Forget-Me-Not Library: Heather Webber, the author of small-town fiction with a touch of magical realism, has a new one coming out in November 2025. I discovered her books late, and I’m still catching up on the ones that are already out there.

5. Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild. What happens when your secrets came back to haunt you? This will be released in June 2025.

6. A Bloody Banquet by Gail Meath. This is Book 2 of Gail’s already popular Stone and Steele Mystery series, which is set in 1930s Hollywood. It will be out in October 2025.

7. Three Days in June by Anne Tyler. The trials and tribulations of the mother of the bride before her daughter’s wedding. This will be released in February 2025.

8. Stone Certainty by Simon R. Green. I enjoyed the first of Green’s Holy Terrors series, and I’m looking forward to book 2.

9. Splinter Effect by Andrew Ludington: Smithsonian archaeologist Rabbit Ward travels through time on sponsored expeditions to the past to secure precious artifacts moments before they are lost to history. This will be released in March 2025.

10. The Memory Collectors by Dete Meserve. What would you do if you could spend an hour in your past? Four strangers in the beach town of Ventura, California are about to find out.

What books are you hoping to get for Christmas?

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

              1. We have about an inch. Enough to say we had a white Christmas. We have plenty of man-made snow on the ski trails. (I hate to see how those trails have scarred our mountains.)

  8. There are a few books on here that I will be adding to my TBR list. I also loved Kinfolk, so will see if I can find that one for sure. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year, Bonnie.
