This week over at the Broke and Bookish the theme for Top Ten Tuesday is:

‘Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Bringing This Year’

Okay, Santa, I’ve been a good girl this year – I’m definitely on the ‘nice’ list which is handy because this list just barely starts to skim the top of my ‘wish list’.  Apart from the first two books I think all of the others are already available but being Santa I’m sure you can pull a few strings!

1. The Liar’s Key by Mark Lawrence (No. 2 of the Red Queen’s War)
2. Voyage of the Basilisk: A Memory by Lady Trent (A Natural History of Dragons No.3) by Marie Brennan
3. The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu, Ken Liu
4. Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone
5. California Bones by Greg Van Eekhout
6. Bridge of Birds: A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was by Barry Hughart
7. The Bloodhound by Erin Lindsey

8. Dreamer’s Pool: A Blackthorn & Grim Novel by Juliet Marillier

9. The Shotgun Arcana (Six Gun Tarot 2)by R. S. Belcher

10. Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel

I confess that whilst I had some of these on my wishlist people’s ‘best of year’ lists have already started to expand my list!

It’s a pretty nice looking list isn’t it!  What would you like to find in your Christmas stocking this year (please don’t say your foot – or somebody else’s foot – or any sort of twisted version of the ‘foot’ response!)
