Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

Merry Christmas Eve! Its time for Top Ten Tuesday! This week's theme is: Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

1. Fight Club: I have been meaning to read this for years.


2. World War Z: Why have I not read this yet?


3. The Replacements: Ever since I saw this amazing cover, I have wanted to read this.


4. Pride and Prejudice: I have never read a Jane Austen novel (I know, I know!)


5. The Book Thief: I need to read this before I see the movie.


6. The World's Strongest Librarian


7. Something Wicked This Way Come: I loved the movie as a kid so I really need to read the book.


8. Empire Falls: I have wanted to read this for awhile now.


9. Atlas Shrugged: I want to read this book, but every time I see it, I lose my courage.  I need someone else to buy it for me so I can man up and read it.


10. The Good Luck of Right Now: Ok, ok, so this one isn't released yet, but I want to read it!

  1. Love that cover for Pride and Prejudice, definitely haven't seen that one around yet!

    I'd love to re-read The Book Thief before I see the movie...and I've been meaning to go back and finish reading Empire Falls...

    Great list of titles! My TTT

    1. Thanks! I have been looking for a good copy of Pride and Prejudice to purchase since I ahve a feeling I will end up wanting to own that one.

  2. I've never seen that cover of P&P before. It's definitely a pretty cover but whatever cover that you do get, the story is still really good. It's my favorite Austen novel. Also, I'm in the middle of reading The Book Thief right now. You should definitely read it and then go watch the movie, which is also great.

    1. I really need to check P&P off my list since it's such a classic. Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Fight Club- back in the day when Chuck was actually legit! I just got a copy of the Book Thief and have had The World's Strongest Librarian on my shelf for a few months. And Empire Falls is so great!

    1. I lived in Portland OR for six years, and that man was everywhere. I am not sure how I lived there and missed reading Fight Club.

    1. Thanks! I'm glad so many people liked the Book Thief. It makes me want to read it even more now!

  5. Empire Falls looks interesting! I just checked it out on goodreads - apparently 50,000 people have read it, but I'd never even heard of it! Lol. You should try Jane Austen, she's one of those 'readable, munch-able' classic writers. :-)

    1. Empire Falls is one I hadn't heard of until recently, but it won a Pulitzer so it's gotta be good, right?

  6. I will definitely be adding The World' Strongest Librarian to my to-read list because of that adorable title and cover. Great list! Happy Holidays.

  7. Your list made me chuckle a bit because as I was scrolling down I realized that I actually already own the first FOUR books and they're on my shelves but I haven't read them yet! And here I made a wish list for myself today! And YES YES YES to the Matthew Quick. Of course. This is a great list, actually, and I hope you're able to get at least one of them! Have a great holiday!
