Top Ten Tuesday - Top Books I Will Be Buying Myself for Christmas

This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. They feature a different top ten list every week. This week's topic is top books I want Santa to bring me. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't typically get books for Christmas. I do usually get at least one Amazon gift card though. I will be using it to buy myself some of the newer releases that my budget has prevented me from buying so far!

 1. The Accident Season by Moira Fowley-Doyle

 2. Mosquitoland by David Arnold

 3. Saint Anything by Sarah Dressen

 4. A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

 5. These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly

 6. Ink and Bone (The Great Library #1) by Rachel Caine

 7. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

 8. Blood and Salt (Blood and Salt #1) by Kim Liggett

 9. Truest by Jackie Lea Sommers

 10. Everything I Needed To Know About Being A Girl I Learned From Judy Blume by Meg Cabot, Jennifer O'Connell, and Beth Kendrick

    EXCELLENT choices. Hopefully I'll be buying myself some books as well (I particularly have my eye on Bone Gap). OH and Saint Anything is amazing, I hope you end up getting it :)

    I approve of this list! You will LOVE this list, I promise. This reads like my Top Books of 2015!! I um, own all of these but two. Which means we are officially (like we didn't know it before hah!) book twins. I have also seen A Little Life on several lists this week! You shall have to obtain, read, and let me know :D FABULOUS choices, of course!

      Thanks Shannon! I am fairly certain that most of the books on this list are only here because of your reviews. :)

    I really liked Mosquitoland, so I'm hoping you buy that first! Well, and the rest as well. I actually started Ink and Bone, but had to return it to the library, so in the end I never finished it.

    I do the same thing, people don't tend to get me books for Christmas so I usually buy them with money I get. You have some awesome choices on this list! Merry Christmas!

    Great list -- I hope you get some great gifts this year! The Judy Blume book looks amazing. Need to go see if my library has it right now. :)

    Firstly, I love how you retitled this TT post! :) A Little Life sounds heartrending but I view it as a must-read. I hope you get them all and love them all! Happy Holidays!

    I think Kara almost has me convinced to buy Ink and Bone - she really LOVES that novel!
