Hello and a very warm welcome to damppebbles. It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post. I’ve decided to take part in That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday meme to mix things up a little here at dp. My original plan was to participate as and when I had the time to put a post together. That then turned into posting ‘weekly without fail’ until I was forced to take a break following surgery to both shoulders (that recovery happened to coincide with a complete and utter loss of reading and blogging mojo 🤷🏻‍♀️). But now I’m back and I’m going to take a much more chilled approach to all things bookish. Which means TTT will return to being a regular feature on damppebbles but a ‘no pressure’ one (that’s the plan anyway!).

The meme was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish but has lived with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl since January 2018. It was created to encompass a love of books, of lists and to bring readers together. If you would also like to take part then you’re very welcome: the more, the merrier. Just make sure you link back to Jana’s post every week. If you don’t have a blog then no problem, just add your list to the comments below.

This week’s theme is Books I Hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes. So, in theory, this post has been written for me over the course of the last year PROVIDING I’ve kept my wish list up to date. Do I normally do a good job of managing it? No, I don’t. Am I hopeful that this year will be different? Hopeful? Yes, I am. But realistically speaking, it’s probably not going to go well. You get the gist, right? Let’s see how we get on…

Turns out I HAVE been keeping my list up to day, hooray! Quite horror heavy (quite Josh Malerman heavy!) but it’s a thing of beauty. Looking forward to reading all of these books at some point in the future.

Have you read any of these books? Are there any on my list that take your fancy? Do you have any of these books on your wish list? Are you taking part in Top Ten Tuesday this week? Let me know in the comments.

Before I sign off, I would like to wish you a very merry Christmas. I hope it’s bookish in the best way possible and you spend the holidays with the people who make your heart happy. However you’re spending tomorrow, I hope it’s a relaxing, joy-filled day.

So there we have it! If you fancy joining in next week then head on over to That Artsy Reader Girl’s blog to find out what the next topic is!
