Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me

I haven't had the time to participate in The Broke and The Bookish's Top Ten Tuesday meme in quite a while, but I couldn't resist this week's topic: the Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing Me.  Wish lists are always fun, and though I don't actually want to receive 10 books for Christmas (just because I have so many good ones already waiting to be read here), I got into the spirit of dreaming about the books I most want to read:

• The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker - this is #1 on my list, just sounds right up my alley.
• The Light Between Oceans by M.I. Stedman - my book group is actually reading this for January, and I can't wait!
• Blog, Inc. by Joy Deangdeelert Cho - since my blogs have been a bit neglected this year and are due for an upgrade.
• Because You Have To: A Writing Life by Joan Frank - I just heard about this one yesterday from Melissa at The Betty & Boo Chronicles - it combines two of my favorite things: memoirs and writing.
• Love Anthony by Lisa Genova - because I loved Still Alice - I'd also like to read her novel, Left Neglected (does that count as 2?)
• City of Women by David R. Gillham - because it sounds like a different kind of WWII novel.
• The Red House by Mark Haddon - I have LOVED everything of his I've read.
• Wild by Cheryl Strayed - once again, I love memoirs and I also love hiking and backpacking.
• Love and Fatigue in America by Roger King - because it is so rare that someone writes a novel about my illness, CFS, and everyone says this is a wonderful novel.
• The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey - it got so many fabulous reviews.

Oh, is that 10 already?  I take it back - I want them all!  Plus a month-long vacation snowed in a lodge with a warm fire, good food, and nothing to do but read.  Yes, that will do the trick.

What books do YOU want from Santa this year?
