The #TopTenTuesday theme this week is the top ten books I wouldn’t mind Santa leaving under the tree this year. I love books under the tree. In fact, I like books just about anywhere. Tree like stacks all over the house also sounds good.
And, I love nothing more than to gift books.
Or to write posts about giving books. Look here for picture book ideas to gift (by publication year): 2013, 2014, 2015. Shopping for new parents and grandparents? I have lists for that too! Fiction or nonfiction versions actually.
But what books would I currently love to receive? I stuck with a picture book theme. Some of these I have read. Some, I know, from other reviews, that I need to. All of them, I covet.
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and Bookish.

Happy Reading!
There's a Book for That 
Aw! Cute looking books as usual. I’m really intrigued by the Eoin Colfer book. 🙂
Me too. I have skimmed through it and it seems wonderful.
Such a lovely list. Cute covers!
Picture books are pretty amazing!
These look beautiful. I want to buy them all (umm, completely for my daughter, not for me, obviously…).
I am the picture book lover in my home! Thankful that I have a classroom of children to read them to!
These sound adorable. And the covers are too cute. Hope you get some of these 🙂
Happy Tuesday & Happy Reading!
And happy reading to you!
Although I’ve finally read it, I would love to receive The Only Child, a recent love. Wishing you a lot of books under your tree, Carrie. No one should have to pick just one, right?
That title is on my radar Linda. The cover looks gorgeous.
What a lovely wishlist. I love both gifting and receiving books – one of the many wonderful things about books is how easy it is to pass on the experience by donating your pre-loved books to charity shops, libraries, neighbors or friends, giving old books new life. The gift that just keeps on giving. 🙂
Absolutely! I feel like books are constantly moving through my hands. Sometimes they live with me and other times, on they go!
Aww, I want to read Mother Bruce, it looks cute. I definitely agree with book stacks everywhere! That would be wonderful. ❤
Books make the holidays amazing for me!
Amen!
I’m curious about “The Tea Party in the Woods”. Looks interesting.
It is stunning! I convinced a Dad in a bookstore to buy it for his daughter yesterday. Such a beautiful book.
These look so so cute. The Tea Party in the Woods sounds especially promising. Merry Christmas.
A beautiful book to gift!
gorgeous books!! My TTT
