Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Winter 2023-2024 To-Read List


Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Here are ten books coming out this winter that I’m curious about. The first two have already been released, and I’ve included publication dates for the rest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Yours for the Taking by Gabrielle Korn

Why I’m Interested: It’s cool to see what science fiction authors predict life could be like a few decades from now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.  Where the Dead Wait by Ally Wilkes

Why I’m Interested: The story sounds incredibly scary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Fallen Thorns by Harvey Oliver Baxter

Publication Date: January 1

Why I’m Interested: Honestly, the amazing cover won me over before I even read the blurb. Doesn’t it look nice annd eerie?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Somewhere in the Deep by Tanvi Berwah

Publication Date: January 9

Why I’m Interested: It’s been far too long since I’ve read a good monster book. Now is a good time to change that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years by Shubnum Khan

Publication Date: January 9

Why I’m Interested: Winter is a great time to read ghost stories in my opinion, and this one looks like it could be excellent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Voyage of the Damned by Frances White

Publication Date: January 18

Why I’m Interested: Many of the books on this list are horror or dark speculative fiction. A light fantasy might help even things out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Your Utopia: Stories by Bora Chung

Publication Date: February 13

Why I’m Interested: Much like I just said for #6, I’m balancing out scary stories with more hopeful ones this winter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Island Witch by Amanda Jayatissa

Publication Date: February 20

Why I’m Interested: The tropical island setting will be a nice contrast to how chilly it is where I live at this time of year. I’m also interested in the gothic horror themes of this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Ours by Phillip B. Williams

Publication Date: February 20

Why I’m Interested: The surrealism in this one sounds very interesting, especially given the 1830s through 1870s setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Hope Ablaze by Sarah Mughal Rana

Publication Date: February 27

Why I’m Interested: I, too, know what it’s like to suffer from writer’s block after a traumatic event. My hope is that this will end on a high note with the main character recovering what she has lost.

  1. Ooh, Where the Dead Wait sounds good. Maybe more for my wife than for me, haha; I’m a wuss. Hope you enjoy all these!

  2. I recently read in A Tudor Christmas that ghost stories during Christmastime used to be an English tradition! They regarded the veil between the living and dead worlds as very thin as the solstice approached.

  3. These sound good and have great covers. I hope you love them.

  4. Somewhere in the Deep is on my TBR list. I hope you love all these!
