Top Ten Tuesday: Winter TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and it's a great way to share what you're loving in list form.  The topic changes every week, so there is always something new to discover!
This week's topic is:  Top Ten Books On Your Winter TBR.  Hot Dog!  I always have so many books I want to get to in the near future, but my list is so fluid that it's never something I stick to.  Regardless, these are a few books that are on my radar that I'd like to get under my "Read" banner in the next couple months.

White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi
A nice, creepy sounding book for these drizzly, dark days :)

 
Such a timely read and very important.
 
The Rescuers by Margery Sharp
Love this movie.

Peter Pan by JM Barrie
It's been on my TBR for ages.

Senseless Confidential by Martin Bannon
Hate the cover, but the story sounds good.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
I can't believe I've never read this!

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman
I loved the Starbound series and this series sounds awesome!

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty
I've tried reading this, but get too scared to even open the cover!

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
Super intrigued and have wanted to read this one for a while.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
This one sounds so good and has excellent reviews.

What a variety!  The great thing about this list is that is coincides with my Book Bingo challenge that goes through the end of December, so I'll actually knock out a lot of these.  Small victories :)

What are some books on your Winter TBR?

Also, look for next week's Top Ten:  Bookish Settings I'd Love to Visit

Happy reading :)

    A very diverse mix there! This winter I want to read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Something I haven't read before.

    You will love Big Little Lies, even non-reading friends have been hooked! The Shadow of the Wind sounds interesting and one I hope to read at some point too!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
