Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Winter 2022-2023 To-Read List


Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Here are ten books scheduled to be released this winter that I’d like to read.

The Love Match by Priyanka Taslim

Publication Date: January 3

Why It Interests Me: It’s a retelling of Pride and Prejudice.

 

Organizing for the Rest of Us by Dana K. White

Publication Date: January 11

Why It Interests Me: I love the idea of having an organized house, but the actual process of figuring out how to organize things makes me feel anxious and overwhelmed. Maybe this book can help?

 

This Is Not a Personal Statement by Tracy Badua

Publication Date: January 17

Why It Interests Me: Dreams don’t always come true…or at least not in the way one thinks they will. My ears perked up when the blurb mentioned this begins after the main character’s application to attend her dream college was rejected. it will be interesting to see what adventures she has as she figures out what to do instead.

 

Someone Else’s Life by Lyn Liao Butler

Publication Date: January 17

Why It Interests Me: Stalking is such an interesting (albeit disturbing) topic. I hope this will be a good exploration of what encourages someone to behave that way.

 

Transitional: How to Live Your Authentic Life by Munroe Bergdorf

Publication Date: February 1

Why It Interests Me:  It’s interesting to read the perspectives of people who have experience gender dysphoria and who have transitioned. I’ve never really had to think about many of the topics they’ve needed to figure out, and I hope to learn all sorts of helpful stuff in this memoir.

 

Cold People by Tom Rob Smith

Publication Date: February 7

Why It Interests Me: Antarctica is a harsh environment. It would be extremely difficult for people to survive there longterm without regular replenishment of their supplies from the outside world, so I’m curious to see if these characters will figure out how to do it.

 

The Friendship Breakup by Annie Cathryn

Publication Date: February 7

Why It Interests Me: Losing a friendship can be just as painful as losing a romantic partner, and yet there are very few books that talk about what happens when friends are no longer part of each other’s lives. This looks like a great read.

 

Venco by Cherie Dimaline

Publication Date: February 7

Why It Interests Me: The thought of a magical spoon makes me giggle. Isn’t it marvellous when authors come up with creative stuff like this?

 

The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz

Publication Date: February 21

Why It Interests Me: Some paranormal horror stories rely on honestly rather flimsy reasons for characters to want to remain in a home that turns out to be haunted, but I can see how the promise of a large cash prize and a a quiet place to write would be enticing for a lot of people!

 

My Dear Henry – a Jekyll & Hyde Remix by Kalyan Bayron

Publication Date: March 7

Why It Interests Me: I’ve never actually read the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story. Maybe this will convince me to give it a try so I can compare and contrast these books?

  8. I haven’t read the original Jekyll & Hyde either, but it has always fascinated me. My Dear Henry sounds great.

  9. Ooo, My Dear Henry looks good (I am waiting for this series to be picked up in the UK so I can afford them, haha)

  10. This is a great list! The remixed classics series has motivated me to read classics that I have never had any desire to read, and My Dear Henry is only the latest – I got an ARC of this one and can’t wait to read it! I hope you enjoy each of these when you get to them.

  11. The Love Match looks so good! I’ll definitely have to add that to my list! Here’s my list: https://www.literacious.com/2022/12/13/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-winter-2022-2023-to-read-list/

  14. The Friendship Break Up sounds really interesting

  15. Very intrigued by The Friendship Breakup. Definitely would like to see more books like this.

    • You’re welcome.

      I’m glad I’m not the only who isn’t the best at keeping a house organized. It’s clean but a bit cluttered.

      May that book help both of us. 🙂

  26. I’m intrigued by The Friendship Breakup and Someone Else’s Life. I hope you enjoy your winter reading!
