I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl: Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Books on My Winter 2022/2023 TBR.

What is your most anticipated winter read?

With all the books that are on my radar on a given day, it’s nice to pick out a few for an official TBR. Ten still leaves room for library holds that come in, occasional ARCs, or some mood reading.

Keep in mind that I’m not yet recommending the books on my official Winter TBR list…..check back often, though, because I will provide updates and links to reviews as I read them. For now, these are the reads that are on my winter 2022/2023 reading radar.

Find my Fall TBR update here. I read (or attempted to read) all the books on my fall TBR. I had two DNFs.

    • Well….the recommending remains to be seen! By the way, your husband might love the Lincoln book. My husband loved it so much that he’s rereading it with me!

  1. I just loved the Viola Davis memoir. Wow, she had such a tough life, but is also so inspirational. I hope you enjoy it, and all the other books on your list

  2. Great list Carol. I like your mix of older and new. I really enjoyed The Violin Conspiracy, but it isn’t all that well known. I hope you enjoy it.

  3. I loved Exiles, Carol. I’m sure that I read Winter Solstice a long time ago and it was great. I love Rosamunde Pilcher. I must check my shelves to see if I have a copy. Happy reading. ❤📚🎄

    • Happy to hear you loved Exiles! I know I read Shell Seekers decades ago, but I’ve always wanted to read Winter Solstice! This is the year!

  4. I read Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher a couple of years ago and quite enjoyed it. The novel has a great sense of place with a cast of interesting characters.

  5. I failed so badly with my Autumn TBR list that i decided it really wasn’t worth me attempting a winter one! If I did though, I’d be keen to add the new Jane Harper. I’ve only just finished The Dry but enjoyed it so much I want to keep reading her now

    • I’m happy that Falk returns in this new release! (He was in the first 2).

      Some seasonal TBRs are certainly more attainable than others! You probably have a mental TBR! My biggest obstacle with a TBR is that I’m an incorrigible mood reader!
