Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. This week it’s what books we plan to read this winter. I’m not particularly a seasonal mood reader but here are a mixture of books I’d like to read before 2019 finishes and books I want to get to early in the New Year.
The Good Muslim by Tahmima Anam
I really want to hit 100 books read for my Read the World Project by the end of 2019 and I’m really close (I’ve read 98 books/countries) and The Good Muslim is a book that’s recently come into my life and it will cross off Bangladesh from my TBR. The Good Muslim is about two siblings who have been scarred by war and how they attempt to reconnect.
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
I’ve had this book on my TBR for years, probably since it was first released and got all of its praise. I recently got the audiobook cheap so I’m hoping that’ll give me the push to finally read it.
They Called Us Enemy by George Takei, Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott and Harmony Becker
Graphic novels are always a good way to get more books read before the year is out. I’m sure this will be a tough one though as it’s based on George Takei’s childhood experiences in a internment camp.
Night, Again edited by Linh Dinh
This is a short story collection from different Vietnamese writers so theoretically it should be a relatively quick read.
How To Be a Heroine by Samantha Ellis
I received this through TBTBSanta a few years ago and I still really want to read it. It’s an essay collection about the roles of literary heroines in our lives and how their stories can impact us.
Only God Can Make a Tree by Bertram Roach
Another one for my Read the World Project this book is by an author form Saint Kitts and Nevis and it’s a pretty short book at less than 150 pages.
Black Panther: The Complete Collection Vol. 1 by Christopher Priest, Mark Texeria, Vince Evans, Joe Jusko, Mike Manley, Mark Bright and Sal Velluto
I got this graphic novel collection for my birthday a few months ago and it’d be good to read it soon. Plus, T’Challa is one of my favourite Marvel characters so I would like to learn more about his history.
The Places I’ve Cried in Public by Holly Bourne
Contemporary YA, even hard-hitting YA, is often very easy and quick for me to read so maybe I’ll get through this one before the end of the year.
Feminists Don’t Wear Pink (and other lies) curated by Scarlett Curtis
I do like reading essay collections as they can be something you can dip in and out of, I think that’s how I’ll read this book over the next few months.
Truthwitch by Susan Dennard
I got this book in a subscription box years ago and I did try to read it then, but I couldn’t really get into it. Since then I’ve heard more and more good things about this series, so I want to give it another go.
What books do you want to read this winter?

I really enjoyed How to be a Heroine!
Yay! That’s good to know 🙂
Great list! How to be a Heroine is so good, and I really want to read Truthwitch, too. Happy reading!
Thanks! Glad to hear that about How to be a Heroine, I’m starting to think there’s a good chance I’ll read it over the Christmas break 🙂
That Black Panther collection looks really good.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Yes it’s a proper mixture of older Black Panther stories so I do wanna read it soon.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
There’s a nice variety on your list today! I’ve heard lots of good things about the Takei book. I hope to get to it soon as well.
Happy TTT!

Thanks! What can I say? I’m an eclectic reader! 😛
The Good Muslim sounds like such a great story.
My TTT.
A friend read it and really enjoyed it so I hope I do too. 🙂
I hope you get to read all of these this winter!
My TTT.
Fingers crossed! But I’m such a mood reader, who know what’ll happen!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
I have They Called Us Enemy from the library, so I definitely plan to read that soon.

Having books from the library definitely gives me the extra push to read them. Hope you read it soon and enjoy it – if that is the right word for such sad subject matter
One of these days I’m going to have to read more Black Panther comics since I love the MCU version of the character. 🙂
Yes I love the MCU version too and that’s mostly why I got this collection.
I read Who Is The Black Panther years ago which is a complete story collection and a great introduction to the Black Panther and his history.
Nice list! I just read the George Takei book last month and thought it was so well done and moving. I hope you enjoy all of these!
I’m hearing so many positive things about They Called Us Enemy it makes me want to read it even sooner. Thanks!
I love the look of the Black Panther collection. I’ve been wanting to read Priest’s version of the character.
I read Who Is The Black Panther years ago and liked that complete arc a lot so have been meaning to read more comics featuring T’Challa. I’ll hopefully get to it soon.
I liked Truthwitch, although I’m mixed on The Underground Railroad. I hope you like all of these though!
Great list! I hope you get to all of these this winter!

Hope we will both ike Truthwitch!
Fingers crossed! 🙂
Very interesting list. I loved the Underground Railroad–I listened to the audio.
Great readding
