It’s time for another Top Ten list from That Artsy Reader Girl. This list should take me through most (or all) of the winter. They’re not winter-oriented at all, because I don’t usually think in those terms when it comes to reading (except for the 2.5 Christmas-related books I still want to read over the next week). The actual order in which I read these will probably change as I go (plus more will probably be added in amongst some of these):
1. The Gray Chamber by Grace Hitchcock
This is one of the few remaining Netgalley ARCs I have right now, and even though it’s been on my list for 2 months and I’ve been looking forward to it, I will be pushing it to read it before it releases on Jan 1.
2. Stealth Power by Vikki Kestell
Book #2 in a 4-part series, the first of which was a 4-star read for me. It’s really about time I got on with the series.
3. On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson
This was on my fall TBR TTT post too, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. It’s an ARC (a re-release due out in March) fantasy kids book that begins a series.
4. His Name Was Zach by Peter Martuneac
I’m not a fan of the zombie genre as a whole, but I’ve been stretching myself a little in some of my book choices recently, and this is another example of that. The sequel to this book is looming, so I really want to read the first one soon.
5. This Light Between Us: A Novel of World War II by Andrew Fukuda
The premise of this book about young pen pals on opposite sides of WWII is really intriguing to me. It’s my last current ARC, and I’ve vowed to finish all 3 of these before I request more, because of how stressful it felt to get so backed up on them.
6. Head On by John Scalzi
The sequel to Lock In, which I really enjoyed, is one I’m highly anticipating digging into very soon.
7. Blessed Are the Misfits by Brant Hansen
I read this book over the course of almost a year after I got it for Christmas 2 years ago. I want to read it in a shorter time period so I can give it a proper review.
8. Sneak by Evan Angler
This is also book #2 in a 4-part series (which, from what I can tell, isn’t necessarily a finished series). Unlike #2 on this list above, though, I gave the first book in this series 3-stars. I’m holding out some hope that the series will pick up.
9. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
My husband is antsy for me to get through these books faster, because he likes watching the movies with me. Since I’ve never read this series before, I insist on waiting until after each book to watch its respective movie. I’m trying to pick up the pace from here on.
10. Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery
Apparently I’m going to have something of a theme going here, reading book #2 in series of varying lengths. I loved Anne of Green Gables so much that I didn’t want to put off reading the next book like I’ve (unintentionally) done with continuing other series I’ve started this year.
Have you read any of these? What do you plan to read over the next few months?
Solid list, I’m honored to be included and hope you enjoy His Name Was Zach! I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting a Barnes and Noble gift card for Christmas this year, so I’m waiting until then to add to my own reading list.

I’ve got a few books on my Christmas list this year, so if I get any of them, it might influence my winter TBR too.

Always gets me when I see a Scalzi novel on these lists. I “met” him online before he published his first novel!

Oh, I loved the Harry Potter books! I read them way back when they first came out. Waiting for the next book in the series was torture! 🙂
Those Anne of Green Gables books are one of my favorite series from when I was younger. I have a very well worn set of them.

Clearly I’m late to the party on books meant for younger readers, because I’m definitely past the intended audience for both of those series. But I’ve always enjoyed things for younger than my age range, sometimes more than things meant for my age range, like movies and TV shows, so I’m happy to be reading them now.

Great list! This Light Between Us looks especially good! 😊

I think it will be a unique prospective on this area of historical fiction, and I’m really looking forward to trying it out.
