Greetings you guys! It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. I actually didn’t feel like participating in this week’s TTT as geography has never been my strong suit. Northern and Southern hemispheres always feel like such an unnecessary complication. When it’s time for most of you guys to show your winter reads, it’s summer here with us. And vice versa of course.
We do love reading in winter though and statistically we read slightly more in winter than in summer.
Books on my Summer TBR are still months away. But we do have a whole stack of winter reads just waiting for us to snuggle in with!
- The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
- Romancing Mr. Bridgerton (Bridgerton #4) by Julia Quinn
- The Milk Tart Murders by Sally Andrew
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
- The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
- Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
- Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
- The Whisper Man by Alex North
- Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
- The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock by Imogen Hermes Gowar
I’m sure that most of you have read at least one of these that are waiting for us. Which one was your favorite?
Have a lovely Tuesday!
[…] Top Ten Tuesday – Ten Books on our Winter TBR […]
So many love that one by Taylor. I’ve not read any of hers, but who knows! Maybe someday I will especially since some of her books are being turned into adaptations now. 🙂
I’ve enjoyed Daisy Jones and the Six as well, something completely different but worth the read.
Have a good weekend!
I really loved Lessons in Chemistry and Evelyn Hugo. I hope all of these are great reads for you. 🙂
Hi Suzanne!
I need to start with a new book this afternoon and my choice is between those two! LOL!! Good taste I hope.
Usually Jana does say summer or winter tbr. I think she might have missed that this go around.
Good luck with your stack. I hope you get through all of them.
Hi Annemieke,
It doesn’t really matter! Easy to change it ourselves.
Between renovations and load shedding, I haven’t even started with any!
Such a good winter reading list!
Thank you Sara!
I haven’t read any of these but Lessons in Chemistry is on my radar. I’ll be curious to see what you think of it. I hope you enjoy them all!
Hi Jen!
I hope to start with a new book later this afternoon and at this stage is a toss up between Lessons in Chemistry and Evelyn Hugo… I’ll see which on will win later this morning!
Evelyn Hardcastle was fantastic!!
Hope I get to it soon.
Hope you get to a few of them during the holiday!
So far, I haven’t been in luck. The load shedding schedule is a bit tight hey….
Too crazy!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of my favorite books. Hope you’ll love all of these!
I need to start with a new book this afternoon and it this stage it’s between Evelyn Hugo and Lessons in Chemistry…. Hmmm – will see which one wins!
The Reading List is on my TBR list and has been for a while…sigh. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
Hi Cindy!
I will sit and go through my Book Club selection from this pile very carefully later today. I am normally really good with reading Book Club selections…. The rest of my books do have a tendency to remain on the shelf sometimes….
I’ve read two of these (including the Bridgerton book) — my favorite of the two is Evelyn Hugo! It’s actually a favorite book of mine, period. I hope you enjoy!
Aaah yea Lisa! Very glad to hear that. I hope to get to reading Evelyn Hugo soon. Maybe I should start this afternoon seeing that everyone is so positive about it!
Nice list. I’ve read “The Reading List”. You’re definitely in for a treat. And “Cloud Cuckoo Land” is on my wishlist. Happy Reading!
Thanks for visiting my TTT which has twelve books this week.
Hi there Marianne! Looking forward to The Reading List. The comments on that book has been so positive on this post. Cloud Cuckoo Land also came highly recommended, so I hope it will live up to it’s expectations for me as well…
So do I. I loved his first book so much.
All the Light we cannot see is such a brilliant read and it made a lasting impression on me for sure.
Indeed. One of the best books of the last years.
Evelyn Hugo has been on my TBR for so long. I should really pick it up. Hope all these end up being great reads for you!
I bought Evelyn Hugo for a steal at crafters market, but haven’t read it yet either! Somewhere I will need to create myself a challenge where I only read the books I already own. That can keep me busy for some time to come!
I have read Evelyn Hardcastle, it was very interesting. I also really want to read Cloud Cuckoo Land. I hope you find a lot of wonderful winter reads to pass the season!
I am very happy with my list, just need to get the time to start reading it! Evelyn Hardcastle has a few mixed reviews, but I’m still looking forward to reading it!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hardcastle and Hugo both look excellent. Those should probably be on my list too. 🙂 And Riley Sager who I keep saying I’ll try but never seem to.
No worries about Tuesday Tagline, BTW! Just participate whenever you feel like. 🙂
Hi Greg!
Oh YOU should try Riley Sager! I am convinced you are going to love his books!
Lessons in Chemistry is one of my favorites for 2022. And I also loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Looks like you have some wonderful books to read for you winter!
Hi there Wendy!
I love my list and all of these are going to Book Club, so I can share it with my friends as well.
Looking forward to Lessons in Chemistry!
I thought Cloud Cuckoo Land was so much thicker, lol. Either all of those books are thicker than they appear or CCL isn’t as long as I thought it was. I hope you enjoy reading all of these!
Hi there Jenni! Maybe it’s just where it is in the pile… It is quite a thick book actually. Looking forward to reading it for sure.
Thanks for visiting us!
The only one on your TBR I have read is Reading List, and I loved it! You may want a few tissues nearby when you get to the end.
Pam @ Read! Bake! Create!

Hi Pam!
I’ve heard that I need to pull the tissues close when reading The Reading List. But I do like a good tear jerker every now and then. Think I’m going to love it too.
Thanks for stopping by!
It is always interesting to hear about time, seasons and weather!
I have read The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and it was good, but The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton was better in my opinion. I want to read Lessons In Chemistry – hopefully I will get it for Christmas and it will be on my Winter TBR!!
Happy TTT!
Hi Emily!
There certainly are mixed reviews on The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, but I am still looking forward to reading it.
I think Lessons in Chemistry is going to be a very popular choice for our book club. Will keep you up to date.
Thanks for visiting us and I hope your week has been good.
Wow – you have a lot of buzzy books there! I’ve read most of them and my fave is The Reading List. There’s a review on my site, but I just loved the people connections and how people who aren’t naturally readers read and react to books – a lot of depth in this story. I also loved 7 Husbands for lighter fare.
This is such a great theme but dangerous because I’m discovering SO many MORE books to add to my TBR! Thanks for the visit.
Hi there Terrie!!
I know! These seasonal posts are simply dreadful for my TBR. You constantly see so many great books you want to read.
I also like my list of books and I am eager to start digging in.
Thanks for the visit!
I’ve not read any of these! I’ll have to look into them, and I hope you enjoy them! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Neither have I! I hope you will find one or two that will tickle your curiosity.
Thanks for stopping by!
I’m so excited to see Evelyn Hugo on your reading list! That’s probably my favorite by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Evelyn is such an unforgettable character.
Hi there Tanya!
That’s so good to hear! I’ve heard mostly good things of Evelyn Hugo and yes, I am looking forward to start reading it.
Thanks for the visit!
I want to read The Seven and Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle so bad
I hope you will enjoy it. Heck, I hope I will enjoy it!
I hope you enjoy all of these! I definitely found the switch in seasons thing a bit of an adjustment when I stayed in Cape Town a couple of years back, it felt very odd to be going to the beach in January but I did get used to the warmer weather after a couple of weeks and it was nice to avoid the most gloomy months of the year in the UK. I’ve come to the realisation that when I say I like winter, I really mean I like December because of all the Christmassy things going on, January and February generally suck in the UK, so dark and cold!
Hi there Jo!
Oh you lived in Cape Town? That must have been wonderful. Such a beautiful city. Our temperatures don’t drop to nearly as low as yours, but I am not someone to be cold at all, so if it’s below 20 degrees (Celsius!), I’m basically freezing. Elza also tends to get cold really quickly and just loves to snuggle in.
Thanks for the visit and for sharing your Cape Town exxperience!
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Cloud Cuckoo Land, but you know the Bridgerton books have my heart! Enjoy your winter reading!
Yes to Bridgerton! Can’t wait to dig into book 4. Early next week…..
I am looking forward to Cloud Cuckoo Land and only heard good things about it. Hope I will feel the same.
Thanks for stopping by!
The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock is such an interesting title
I know! I loved the cover as well and it was on sale…
Wow, just look at that pile! I’ve read the Turton book, can’t say I was a fan, but it’s definitely a book for reading in winter with a hot cup of coco! And no wonder, I see a lot of mysteries in your pile. Also, yes to more Bridgerton! 🙂
Dearest Lex!
Of course the mysteries will be there yes and I am looking forward to book 4 in the Bridgerton series.
Hmmmm…. I will let you know how I find Evelyn Hardcastle.
Thanks for stopping by Lex!
There’s nothing like curling up with a great book in winter. Enjoy!
Hi Cheri!
Couldn’t agree more!
That is a great reading stack; I’m sure you will be quite happy with those choices – all so different too. Out book group is supposed to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo kater this year. Looking forward to it.
I also think I’m going to be happy with these ones! Will keep an eye out for your thoughts on Evelyn Hugo.
Thanks for the visit Diane.
I’m glad you decided to participate this week!
I get more reading done in the winter, too. I haven’t read any of the books on your list, but may they all be good reads.
Hi there Lydia!
That makes two of us!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will enjoy the rest of your week.
My brother just returned Cloud Cuckoo Land to me. He read it twice!
I hope you like it and Lessons in Chemistry.
Hi Debbie!
I’ve actually bought Cloud Cuckoo Land because you recommended it so much. I’m sure I’m going to enjoy it. And I’m looking forward to Lesson in Chemistry as well!
I just read Evelyn Hugo a few months ago—it was my first Taylor Jenkins Reid and I absolutely loved it! I hope you end up enjoying it, and all the others.
I have read Daisy Jones as well, but only heard good things about Evelyn Hugo and that’s why I’ve decided to jump on the band wagon as well.
Looking forward to my reads yes!
