Top Ten Tuesday; Winter TBR

It's Tuesday and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was a pretty easy one, which is top ten books on my winter TBR. I might add that my list is highly influenced by the fact that I've got a bunch of Netgalley books I want to read.

Here's my picks;

The Penmaker's Wife by Steve Robinson

Sheperd's Warning by Cailyn Lloyd

Mrs Despard and the Suffrage Movement by Helen Matheson-Pollock and Lynne Graham-Matheson

Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Undead Client by M. J. Downing

One by One by D. W. Gillespie

The Paris Mysteries by Edgar Allan Poe

The Story of a Goat by Perumal Murugan

The Occupation by Deborah Swift

Wrong Victim by Helen H. Durrant

Black Quarry Farm by Iain Cameron

    I love Poe but I don't think I've ever heard of The Paris Mysteries! Must check that out now.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it.
