This week I’m sharing the books on my winter 2024 to-read list. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.
Well, it’s winter here in Australia, well in Melbourne and this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about my Winter TBR. Even though I haven’t been reading as much as I usually do, I’m still reading. I want to try and read a range of books on my tbr for a while and some newer releases that have caught my eye or that I have been waiting on.
I’ve been reading all over the place this year from fantasy to contemporary, to things a little darker. So I tried to pick a range of books that I would want to read. As always these are in no real order, but here are the books I plan to read this winter. Let’s go!

To Bleed a Crystal Bloom (Crystal Bloom, #1) by Sarah A. Parker | The Throne of Honor and Blood (The Mortal Fates, #2) by J. Bree. | Dark Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. | The Book of Azrael (Gods and Monsters, #1) by Amber V. Nicole.

Fragile Sanctuary (Sparrow Falls #1) by Catherine Cowles. | The Darkest Chord (Darkest Nights. #1) by Jenn Bullard. | Off to the Races. (Gold Rush Ranch. #1) by Elsie Silver. | Done and Dusted (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1) by Lyla Sage.

Relever (Ironside Academy, #4) by Jane Washington. | Dawn of Flames (Dragons of Ember Hollow, #3) by Tessa Hale.
And there we go. Those are just the books that I would like to read this winter. As you can see there is a range of fantasy, contemporary and some things a little darker on this list. I’m super excited to read to them all and I hope I can soon. What books made it to your winter or summer list? So, let’s chat!

This week I’m sharing books that I had very strong emotions about. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.
I mean it’s not hard to make me cry. But today I’m sharing the books that hit me right in the heart and most of the time made me sob. Sometimes from heartbreak, sometimes from death, and sometimes I sobbed like crazy and then it was all okay. I’m also sharing the books that made me smile so much I was grinning on the train and had to stop.
So let’s get into it! Here are the books that made me sob, cry, and sometimes even curl up in a ball, as well as the ones that made me smile with everything in me. These are books that I had very strong emotions about.

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros. | The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. | The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo. | The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand.

Lovelight Farms (Lovelight, #1) by B.K. Borison. | Heartless (Chestnut Springs #2) by Elsie Silver. | Heartstopper: Volume One. (Heartstopper, #1) by Alice Oseman. | The House in the Cerulean Sea (Cerulean Chronicles, #1) by T.J. Klune.

Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers, #1) by Chloe Liese | Letters to the Lost (Letters to the Lost, #1) by Brigid Kemmerer.
And there we go. Those are some of the books I have had some very big emotions too. From crying like a baby to smiling like a clown, these books gave it all. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What books made it onto you list? Let’s chat!
