This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is the perennial favorite top ten planned reads for the upcoming season. As is my wont, I went back to see how I did for the fall, and imagine my surprise to find that I’ve read six and might finish a seventh before autumn officially ends on Sunday!

Now, on to my top ten for this winter:

1. Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree
2. T.J. Klune’s Somewhere Beyond the Sea
3. Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
4. Rainbow Rowell’s Slow Dance
5. Jasper Fforde’s Red Side Story
6. Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore by Char Adams
7. Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent
8. The Elsewhere Express by Samantha Sotto Yambao
9. Candace, the Universe, and Everything by Sherri L. Smith
10. Theft by Abdulrazak Gurnah

Half of these are by beloved writers, and the other half come out early this winter. What do you like to read during the winter months? Re-reads of familiar favorites? Chunksters? Specific genres?
