Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday!
Winter is coming! And with that comes also: a Winter TBR. Which, in my case, is a lot of my rest of the year TBR which I haven’t gotten to yet. Plus a few new releases. But really, given my major reading slump which lasted most of summer and fall, it’s mostly backlist on this TBR.
Let’s get to it!
The SPELL WEAVER SERIES by Annette Marie
Annette Marie cured my reading slump. So OF COURSE I need her on my winter TBR as well. Can’t wait to read more about my favorite incubus of all!
Warcross by Marie Lu
If it hadn’t been for the reading slump, I would have read this already. I have such high expectations!
Ruined by Amy Tintera
I’ve only been meaning to read this one for over a year. I love me some revenge plots so I feel like this will be a good read to keep that reading slump far away!
Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff
Nevernight was awesome! Thus, Godsgrave is a must. And yay for more revenge plots!
Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han
Sounds like the perfect read for those cold winter nights spent on the coach with a blanket and a hot cocoa. And maybe some cake. Yeah, definitely some cake.
Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
The main reason I haven’t read this yet is because I wanted to reread Lady Midnight first. I’m hoping I’ll get to it this winter! And the upside to reading this one so late? At least the wait until the next book will be just a little less long…
Cloaked in Shadow by Ben Alderson
Ben himself described this as “Beauty and the Beast inspired fantasy with Dragons, Gay Romance and Elemental Control!” How fast can I say “Yes, please!”? Well, the answer is REALLY fast!
Immortal Reign by Morgan Rhodes
The final installment of one of my fave guilty pleasure fantasy series is being released this winter and I am ready!
Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco
After reading and loving Stalking Jack The Ripper, I am super curious about the sequel and impatient to be reunited with one of my fave sleuthing duos!
Looks like we have a Fantasy lover here. I am familiar with several of the authors, though I haven’t read the books you listed. Good luck finishing your list. My TTT TBR Winter list
Haha, yeah, that’s me 🙂 Thanks so much!
I have “Warcross” and the ‘Lara Jean’ trilogy on my shelf.. alas, I’ve read neither! I hear both are amazing authors, so I’m not just looking forward to discovering new stories, but also new authors. Ordinarily, “Warcross” isn’t really a book I’d immediately pick up, but I’ve read so many glowing reviews, so of course, this meant i *had* to pick up a copy. 😉
Hope you enjoy all of your winter TBR reads, Lindsey!
Discovering new authors is the best 🙂 Hope you’ll enjoy their books when you get to them! Yes, I’ve definitely only heard good things about Warcross, which makes me even more excited for it 🙂
I just downloaded the WARCROSS audiobook from my library! I can’t wait to read it!
Do You Dog-ear?
Ah that’s great, hope you’ll enjoy it! 🙂
I really want to read Warcross and Godsgrave!!! I want to start Stalking Jack the Ripper too.
Ahh me too 🙂 Hope they’ll live up to both our expectations! Stalking Jack the Ripper was a little predictable, but still so much fun <3
I love those Night Realm covers. Same with the Ruined books. And Warcross was a lot of fun!!
Yeah those covers are really nice indeed <3 Glad to hear you enjoyed Warcross, really looking forward to that one :)
Warcross is a lucious story. I hope you enjoy it, too!

Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
Warcross and Ruined are on my TBR as well. I`m also excited about Ben`s novel, he seemed so passionate about it in all of his videos.
Yes, they all sound so good! I definitely can’t wait to read Ben’s novel 🙂
Hope you enjoy aaaaall of them! Happy reading! <3
Thanks so much! 🙂
Warcross has such a unique cover. I hope it’s good.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
It does for sure! I hope so too, I’ve heard nothing but good so far 🙂
I’ve been reading a lot of backlist lately, it’s nice to take a break from all the new shinies all the time!
Yes, getting through that backlist can definitely be great as well 🙂
I haven’t read Stalking Jack the Ripper yet, but the concept of the series is really cool. Hope you enjoy the sequel!
It’s indeed such a fun concept! I’m really looking forward to the sequel 🙂
YEEESSSSSSSS! Annette Marie cured your reading slump????????????? I’m so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot WAIT for Shadow Weave.
Also – I too was supposed to reread Lady Midnight before reading LoS and I haven’t got there yet!
I totally need to read Falling Kingdoms. Oops! And Stalking Jack the Ripper!
Awesome list!
YES SHE TOTALLY DID. I started the Steel and Stone series and got so hooked I’m already on book 4! YAY! I’m planning to finish this series and then start The Night Realm in time for the release of The Shadow Weave. Already looking forward to more Lyre 🙂
Ah, glad to hear you were planning the Lady Midnight re-read too! We’ll get there soon, I’m sure 😉
Hope you’ll enjoy Falling Kingdoms and Stalking Jack The Ripper when you get to them!
I read Ruined back in September I think and really enjoyed it though it was a bit different from what I was expecting.
Ah, glad to hear you enjoyed Ruined! Looking forward to reading it soon 🙂
I still need to read Nevernight, but I’m so glad to hear you loved it. I LOVED Hunting Prince Dracula – so hopefully that will be a good one for you too. I need more of those books! haha
-Lauren
I hope you’ll enjoy Nevernight, I did really love it 🙂 And so glad to hear you LOVED Hunting Prince Dracula, now I’m even more excited to read it soon!
So many good ones up there. I really need to get to Godsgrave as I really enjoyed Nevernight.
Ah me too! Hope Godsgrave will live up to both our expectations! 🙂
Hunting Prince Dracula was so much fun to read. I hope you enjoy it!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! So looking forward to it 🙂
I hope you get a chance to read all these!
Thanks, I hope so too 🙂
Great list! Can’t wait to see what you think of Warcross and Hunting Prince Dracula! And if Annette Marie got you out of your reading slump, I definitely need to check out her books.
Ah I’m soo looking forward to reading both Warcross and Hunting Prince Dracula! And I’d DEFINITELY recommend Annette Marie’s books, especially her Red Winter trilogy 😉
Ahhhh I love Hunting Prince Dracula and Godsgrave! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I was sadly disappointed by Warcross but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
Thanks for sharing,

Ah glad to hear you enjoyed Hunting Prince Dracula and Godsgrave! So looking forward to them 🙂 Sorry to hear you were disappointed by Warcross, maybe I shouldn’t let my expectations of that one get way too high cause that is dangerous to get disappointed too…
I cannot wait for Shadow Weave!!
I haven’t even read The Night Realm yet and I’m already so excited for both that one and Shadow Weave 😉
Ruined is absolutely amazing and I hope you end up enjoying it as much as I did! 🙂 And Warcross is definitely on my TBR as well. Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous choices! <3
So glad to hear you enjoyed Ruined! I’m so eager to start it, you have no idea 🙂 Hope we’ll both enjoy Warcross too!
