Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my Summer 2024-25 to read list

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books on My Winter 2024-2025 to-Read List. As I am an Aussie, it is currently way too hot for it be winter, so these are my summer reads!



Midnight in Paris by Gillian Harvey - I am always very excited by the news that there is a new Gillian Harvey book on the way. This one is out in January, and the cover is gorgeous!

The Chimes by Charles Dickens - I read A Christmas Carol a couple of weeks ago, and I am intending to read at least one more of his Christmas stories. Yes, there is more than one!

The Many Futures of Maddy Lawson by Laura Pearson - Spoiler! Laura Pearson is going to be on my list of favourite new authors that I first read in 2024

Venice Hotel by Tess Woods - I have actually already started this one. Now it's a question of finishing it!

Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt by Lucinda Riley and Harry Whittaker - I just finished listening to The Missing Sister. There was a three year gap between the last two books but I am not waiting that long to listen to the final book in the series.



The Mirror by Nora Roberts - This is the second book in The Lost Bride trilogy. I will also listen to this one. The question is will it be before Atlas or after it!

The Last Illusion of Paige White by Vanessa McCausland - I have loved the last two books I have read by Vanessa McCausland so I have high hopes for this one.

The Jam Maker by Mary-Lou Stephenson - This one is out in February and I am very much looking forward to it!

The Secret Paris Garden by Sophie Beaumont - I really liked The Paris Cooking School! My plan is to read this before the end of the year but we will see!

The Bad Bridesmaid by Rachael Johns - I posted my review of The Other Bridesmaid yesterday. The Bad Bridesmaid is about Bridget's best friend Fred and is out in February!

Are any of these books on your list!

  1. I hope you enjoy Atlas! I thought Harry Whittaker did a good job of finishing his mother's book.

  6. The Jam Maker sounds interesting, I never imagined Jam Making could be connected with danger and deceit 🤔!

  9. I read A Christmas Carol for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. No wonder it is a classic. I hope you enjoy it, too.

    My Winter Reading list is largely based on the challenges I've set for myself, book club selections, and books I have on hold with Libby. My Winter Reading list

    1. I guess it depends on what you are used to! Feels very normal for us. And it does make us appreciate a cold Christmas more if we are lucky enough to travel to Europe for Christmas.

  17. How did I not know Dickens wrote more than one Christmas story?? I'll have to look up his others. Thanks for the heads-up! I hope you enjoy all these.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
