Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Hope Santa Brings

Written by Grace H.

Welcome back to TBG’s Top Ten Tuesday!

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, Top Ten Tuesday is a widespread trend in which book bloggers create a “Top Ten” list in response to a different topic each week.

This week’s theme is… Books I Hope Santa Brings!!

As we approach Christmas and we’re in the midst of the holiday season, many of us avid readers have our wish list jam-packed with various novels. Here are my top ten books that I hope Santa brings me this holiday season.


1. A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal: a book I meant to get to this year, but never did

2. Wisteria by Adalyn Grace: third installment in a series that I’ve enjoyed so far!

3. The Grandest Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes: I’m intrigued by the continuation of this

series, and I hope Barnes can continue to impress me

4. The Getaway List by Emma Lord: a sweet looking romcom with a pretty cover

5. Sky’s End by Marc Gregson: the beginning of a super interesting series    



6. There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins: a YA thriller that I want

to read (plus it’s a film!)

7. Under the Surface by Diana Urban: another YA thriller I want to read

8. When the World Tips Over by Jandy Nelson: one of my favorite authors and favorite

books, so I want a copy for my library

The final two books on my list technically haven’t been released yet, but I’d love it if Santa could

work his magic to bring them early.

9. Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins: newest addition to the Hunger Game

series, and I’m excited to see what Collins does with Haymitchs’ story

10. Watch Me by Tahereh Mafi: one of my favorite authors and series, and we finally have

a new addition


Happy holidays!

5 Questions With...Mary E. Pearson!

Written by Anna M.
Grade 12

Recently, I had an incredible opportunity to meet bestselling author Mary E. Pearson and ask her five in-the-know questions. It’s not every day you get to meet such a creative authoress and have a heart-to-heart conversation with her. As an amateur writer, it was truly amazing to discuss not only her writing techniques but also her journey to where she is today (and to where she is going).


Q. When do you know you wanted to be an author, and what were the steps you took to get there?
