Top 5 Wednesday - Book Wish List

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme where you discuss your 'top 5' in a variety of different topics on, guess what, a Wednesday. Full list of topics and more information can be found here on the Goodreads group. 

This weeks topic is the top 5 books or bookish items on your wishlist this holiday season. Here are mine...


The Burning Maze and The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan 

2800609628006120

I've put these two together because they're by the same author. These are the next books in each of Rick Riordan's current on going series. They've been out for a while so I'm surprised I haven't got to them yet because usually I read Rick's books the week they come out!

A Book Beau

I'd love a book beau to keep my books nice and tidy when I take them out with me. I particularly like this Peter Pan print and this Harry Potter print. 

The Wicked King by Holly Black

26032887

The sequel to The Cruel Prince, which I read at the beginning of this year, is one of my most anticipated releases of 2019. A preorder of this one would be lovely. 

Bookish Candles 

Christmas at Hogwarts - Flick The WickFaerie Fruit - The Cruel Prince - Flick The WickCyborg Princess - The Lunar Chronicles - Flick The Wick

I love candles and I love books so I especially like the idea of combining the two. Pictured are some great sounding candles from Flick the Wick that I wouldn't mind finding in my stocking. 

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo 

36307634

Another one of my most anticipated reads of 2019. I loved The Grisha Trilogy and Nikolai was one of my favourite characters in this series so of course I'm going to read a book all about him. 

So there we have a small selection of things on my bookish wishlist. I could go on but I won't considering the meme is called Top '5' Wednesday. 

What's on your bookish wishlist this holiday season? Is there anything you've read this year you would recommend I add to mine?

  6. I cannot even begin to imagine what a Cyborg Princess candle smells like, but I am more than a little intrigued!

  9. This is a great wishlist!!! the Flick the Wick candles are always so amazing I think! The designs are stunning and the smells are absolutely fantastic. Definitely one of my most favorite candle sellers. I have a subscription on their monthly box and these boxes are always so awesome! The Cyborg princess one is definitely one I'd love to add to my collection as well in the future!
