The Bibliophile's Bookshelf

Top Ten Tuesday is run by Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl and this week’s theme is Books I Hope Santa Brings.

Today is Christmas Eve, and I am so excited. I love Christmas and this year I have my eye on a few different books.

Here’s my Top Ten:

Unraveled by Shannon Messenger

I have been reading this series since middle school and it is starting to come to its close. I am excited for this new installment because it’s from a different characters perspective. This is also the only thing I asked my brother for for Christmas, so I have high hopes!

The Agaped Bearers by Hannah Lindsey Taylor

I follow the author on Instagram, so I see all of her art from the book and her drawings of scenes. It looks so good!

Heirs of Secrets by Berlyn Hayes

I heard about this book through Pinterest in May and have wanted to read this book ever since. It is a clean fantasy series that sounds super interesting.

Prodigy of Revenge by Berlyn Hayes

This is the sequel to Heirs of Secrets and the series is coming out really quickly. The third book is being released this spring, so all five books should be released by early 2026.

This Time It’s Real by Ann Liang

I read this book earlier this year and I loved it! I even got it for my mom for her birthday. This is such a cute rom-com book and I am very excited to read her upcoming stuff.

Dangerous Secrets: The Story of Iduna and Agnarr by Mari Mancusi

I am a big Frozen fan and when I found out that there was a book written from the parents’ perspective, I was super excited. The only problem is that I can’t find it at any of the libraries I frequent, and I tend to forget about it when I go shopping. But I am determined to read it someday.

Any Book by Melanie Cellier

I love retelling of fairy tales, and I try to read clean romances, which are becoming harder to find. My library found The Desert Princess for me over the summer, and I loved it. This has led me on a mission to read all the books, but they’re hard to find.

Promchanted by Morgan Matson

I love Disney and something about this book draws me in. Sleeping Beauty is probably my favorite classic Disney movie, and this book intrigues me.

Hagenheim series by Melanie Dickerson

Melanie Dickerson is another clean, fairy tale retelling romance author. My library has part of this series but not all of it, so I am waiting to read the series until I locate all of the books.

What books do you hope to get this Christmas?

Merry Christmas!
