Top Ten Tuesday - Winter TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is: Winter TBR

So happy that we are only a few days from the Christmas weekend. I'm really looking forward to relaxing, have a cozy time with the family and eat good food. We will have a gathering here in our house on Christmas Eve (in Sweden we celebrate the actual Christmas on Christmas Eve :)), my parents are coming and my mother in law and they all will also sleep over.

Now, over to my Winter TBR, cause I know that is what you are actually is curious about...right?! :)

I don't have a long setup list for the books I want to read next this winter, cause I do read after what mood I'm in and what I feel like for that moment. I don't listen to audiobooks now, cause I can't focus and prefer reading books right now. So, I can only read books from NetGalley and my bookshelf. Also, book review copies from book publishers have a small impact on my TBR. I have 4 books now that I know about and that I can share with you.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Joanna Bolouri
A hilarious and heartwarming Christmas comedy.

Her Pretty Bones - Carla Kovach (Netgalley book)
New Thriller by the author of The Next Girl.

Big Magic - Elizabeth Gilbert

Big Magic cracks open a world of wonder and joy.

I'll Be There For You - Kelsey Miller

The definitive retrospective of Friends, exploring all aspects of the show from its unlikely origins to the elusive reasons why we still watch it.

Two fiction and two non-fiction books are my reading plan for the next month ahead. I'm actually starting The Most Wonderful Time of the Year today cause I haven't read any Christmas related books yet and this will actually be my only one this year :) It sounds really sweet, so I'm excited to start this one.

How many Christmas books have you read/will read this year?

Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is: Freebie

My book blog has been paused since the summer and I was starting to miss writing about books, cause I still read a lot of course so I haven't stopped just because I haven't been blogging about it for a while :)

I wanted to join Top Ten Tuesday and this week topic is Freebie, which means anything book-related or not book-related.

I love to be part of the book community and even if I still have a lot to learn when it comes to book blogging it sure is fun...when I'm motivated which I absolutely am right now. I feel excited to get back into it and can find a great blog schedule that will work great a line with everything else.

To write about books is so much fun, but there is so much more about it. For example, all other great book bloggers who are out there :) I want to share the top on my list of book blogs that I follow and enjoy visiting.

1. Paper Fury

2. That Artsy Reader Girl

3. BooksNest

4. Jenniely

5. Smart Bitches Trashy Books

I could go on with a longer list, but these 5 are on my top list of favorite book bloggers but believe me when I say I sure enjoy so many more great blogs :) I follow many more than these.

As I said, I really looking forward to moving along with my blog and I really hope to stay this time and not let myself get too overwhelmed and pressured, cause it really takes away the fun part of blogging. So I will work on a nice blog schedule for me and this blog so I will be able to share nice content, book reviews, book tips and so on a hopefully regular basis.

As to maybe ask for some feedback, I'm curious how often you update your book blog and what feels like a fair and good number of posts in a week? :) You are also welcome to share your favorite book blogger/bloggers below.

5 Book series I plan not to finish

This week topic for Top Ten Tuesday which ThatArtsyReaderGirl.com is the founder of is 10 series or trilogies I don't plan to finish. But I actually don't have that many series that I don't plan to finish, so for this week, I had to narrow it down to 5 :)

Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

I started to listen to this series on audiobook and I liked the first one and gave it a 4 star rate, so I continued with the second book. The second book called Crescendo turned out to be more of a 3 star book for me and after that, I wasn't that much into this series. I have no plans to listen to the third book in the near future :)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This one I also listen to on audiobook and I had high hopes for it, but I ended up rating it 3 star and it wasn't a book for me. So, I'm pretty sure I will stop with this first book.

The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa

Last year I bought the whole series of 4 books and I ended up reading only the first one. The rest is standing on my shelf and keep staring at me and I have no idea when or if I will ever pick them up and finish the The Iron Fey series :) The first was ok, but it's like I don't feel drawn to continue the series, so I'm pretty sure I won't finish it.

The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare

It's not that I don't like The Mortal Instruments and I'm still curious about other books by Cassandra Clare, but I don't think I will finish this series honestly. I own the first book and I've listened to 1 or 2 other books in this series on audiobook, but further, than that, I haven't come.

There will always be other book series that appeals to me more, so I don't think I will be able to finish The Mortal Instruments.

Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James

Sorry, but I can't take these books anymore. They are so tiring and I was sick of it after the half of the first book. I own 2 of 3 and I know for sure I won't read any more of these :) I'm not fond of the movies either, but I did give them a chance.

One part of me can somehow understand why people like them, but my other part can't :)

Here you have it, these 5 book series is probably the one I won't finish or have plans for it in the near future.

Have you completed any of these series and what are your thoughts?

Beach Reads

Top Ten Tuesday is a recurring list of book lovers/book blogger and thanks to Jana from ThatArtsyReadersGirl.com, I got the chance to find several new bloggers who love books as you get a chance to link your post on her blog when you attend Top Ten Tuesday. So I'll try to attend as often as I can because it would be great to get in touch with more book bloggers :)

The week's topic is "Beach Reads" and for summer and many have begun or are going to go on holiday soon and for me who read a lot, I feel like reading some beautiful summer books that will take place in the summer and easy-going books that are cute, romantic and feelgood.
I would, therefore, like to suggest 10 books that I think are suitable beach reads that I have either read already and can recommend or books that I know are appropriate and that I know I will read.
