Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books I Never Reviewed

 

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic: 
Favorite Books I Never Reviewed

This week's topic is actually Books Read In One Sitting but since I don't think I've ever read a book in one sitting, that's not much of a list. 

Instead I'm going to share ten books that I loved but have never reviewed. 
The reasons are varied but tend to fall into two categories:

1) I loved the book so much, and it made such a lasting impression on me, that I feel there is no way to adequately express my feelings and do it justice.

2) So much time has passed that the initial feelings and impressions have dimmed. I may still want to review it, but it would necessitate a reread.


   



 



Have you read any of these books?

  2. I still haven't finished ACOWAR, I put it down after about 240 pages in January and still haven't picked it back up.

  3. The Long Shot was so good. All the tears when reading that one. Excuse me, I am getting all emotional just thinking about it. *chills* I remember Hoover's book being very emotional (when aren't they?), but it was note that hit me even harder.

    1. Long Shot just destroyed me. I still remember DM'ing with you and Amber when I read it.

  4. I loved Written in Red and I've just downloaded an audio and e-copy of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things. I can't wait because I LOVED The Reckless Oath and I read it off your recommend, so thanks!

    1. I'm so interested to see what you think of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things. It was certainly a divisive story but so powerful. I read several interviews with the author that shed a lot of light and her thoughts behind the story (and her own experiences). It's one still I still think about.

  5. Simon vs and ACOWAR are some of my favorites too! I also loved Written in Red, but I still need to pick up the rest of the series.

    1. I have such a crazy attachment to The Others series. I think I've listened to the entire series 4 times now.

  7. I read WAY faster than I review, so I'm always reviewing books months after I've read them. Even in that short period, I often can't remember a thing about the book! LOL. My memory is no beuno.

    Happy TTT!

    1. I'm already way behind on reviews. I'd be in big trouble if I read any faster! LOL

  8. Verity was such a crazy read! I agree about not usually reviewing books I love, for the same reason!

    1. It's seems crazy but sometimes I love a story too much to talk about it. LOL

  9. I did read Verity in one sitting but didn't care for that plot twist, not one tiny bit. I also read a lot faster than I'm able to review and I've learnt to accept that I won't ever be able to keep up with both :D Happy reading.

    1. Too bad Verity didn't work for you. :( I think that was either a love it or hate it ending.

  10. I read Long Shot, Written in Red and Simon and I think I reviewed them all but I haven't been doing that as much lately. I've been keeping some books just to myself.

    1. Sometimes I just want to skip reviewing and move on to the next book instead.

  11. "Books that I loved but have never reviewed" is always a great topic! I enjoyed reading Before We Were Strangers by Renee Carlino as well. :)

    Here's my Top Ten Tuesday list!

  12. I started a review after reading Simon, but I just couldn't finish it. It was definitely one of those that I didn't feel like I could do it justice. Great idea for a TTT post!

    1. Simon is one that I've read and listened to multiple times - and yet still never felt able to review it.

  13. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things was so well written, but the story was hard for me. I did enjoy a bunch of others on your list,too.

    1. It was a tough story, and could be considered divisive, but it made a huge impact on me. And it's one I still think about.

      Delete
  14. I also find it hard sometimes to review books I really loved. I never feel like what I'm saying really does the book justice or conveys what made it such a special read for me.

    1. Exactly, Suzanne! Some stories make such an impact, and I have such an emotional connection to them, that I know there's no way I can do them justice.

  15. I have all of these on my tbr and now I want to know all of your thoughts lol! Do you have a top favorite from this list or like a top 2 favorites? Or is that just a mean question to ask haha!

    1. Well of course that's a mean question to ask! LOL But for you, I will try. :) I'll pick three: Long Shot, It Ends With Us, and Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. All three are hardcore favorites. ♥
