Top Ten Tuesday: December Freebie- Books I Didn't Get To This Year (but wished I had)

 

This week's Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl is a December freebie topic. I decided to list books I wished I'd read but hadn't gotten to this year. It is possible I will get to some of them before January 1st but not likely. December is crazy when you are a teacher and a mother and I already have several books ahead of these now that I want to finish.  I think this is why I love blogging and reading others' blogs. We all have enormous piles of books we can't possibly finish. And that makes me feel semi-normal, lol. Happy Reading everyone...here's to new goals for 2025.

Stacking the Shelves #42

 

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality. It's a place to showcase any books I have purchased, borrowed, or been lucky enough to have been given an advance copy of. Hope you find something that looks interesting to you or that makes you remember a favorite book you need to finish. Enjoy your reading this week!

Borrowed from Libby (there is a wait though!)

This story takes place during the time of Queen Esther. I have not read anything by this author but it was on sale this week and looked interesting. I don't read a lot of Christian fiction but Queen Esther has always fascinated me and this author seems to have several good biblical historical fiction books that are best sellers. This story revolves around two fictional characters in Queen Esther's court who are swept up in the politics of the time concerning the Jewish people. 

Bought on Kindle for $2.50 with my credits

I like this author because she writes historical fiction about Scotland and people I generally know very little about. I wish I had time to get through every book I'm interested in because I forget about her books sometimes and need to get back to them! This is the first in her series about William the Bold. He was a Scottish nobleman and soldier during the 13th century in the service of Sir John Stewart. I am always wanting to know more about the Scots and the French because they factor so much into English history. Her books are a great place to go for the lesser known Scots.

The latest in Benedict Brown's Lord Edgington Investigates cozy mystery series. It is a stand alone in that I can read it for Christmas but not be subject to spoilers for the previous books I haven't read. I like that. All his Christmas books follow this pattern. I am currently reading the first book in the series and don't want to know anything to give away the mysteries. So far I am enjoying this series a lot with its unique main characters and settings.
