Top Ten Tuesday: Reader Hall of Shame (aka The Books I Still Have Not Read)

 

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


This Week's Top Ten Tuesday Topic:
Books I (Still) Have Not Read
 
As a reader, my TBR is long and plentiful. Obviously. And I want to read All The Books.
But there are those that I am extra excited about - the ones I am certain that I will read
right away. But... yeah. We know how that goes. Despite my excitement, these keep 
getting pushed aside time and time again. These are the books that I was desperate to 
read, but still haven't. The ones that I very much want to read sooner rather than later.

On my shelf since April 2023

No Tomorrow - Carian Cole

The Great Alone - Kristin Hannah

  1. The oldest book is from 2016, and that is only...well, eight years, eight short little years. You are not doing so badly...unless, perhaps, there are other older books, hidden away, in the back of the shelves...

  2. I just bought Wolfsong to start that Klune series. It looks so good!

  4. I'm the same way! I'm trying to at least be better about my preorders since I must have been so excited that I ordered it before it was available! The Great Alone is one of the few KH books I haven't read, but I've heard good things!

  5. What the Wind Knows... Now that's been on my backlist ARC list for what feels like a very long time. 😭 I'm so determined that 2024 will finally be the year I read it! I love The Great Alone and Ravensong. I hope you enjoy all of these whenever you get around to them, Tanya!

  6. OMG A Court of Silver Flames? On here? Please read it! It's SO good!

    I'm curious about Ravensong too, but I have to read Wolfsong first.

    Mile High is on my shelf as well, but since February so that's okay right? LOL.

  7. I've read (and loved) several of these! I know you will love The Great Alone, What the Wind Knows and The Court of Silver Flames. I really think you need to start with Full Tilt and Mile High, though. I can see you loving those the most.

  9. I hope you love them all! I enjoyed the beginning of The Great Alone, but the ending was too melodramatic for me.

  11. I have an entire library of shame... two bookcases' worth. And that's just the physical books. I haven't read any of the books on your list, although of course I have seen or heard of some of them. And tbh, I'm afraid to look up the ones I don't recognize, for fear of adding yet more books to my TBR list.

  12. I have a tall stack of books that I own but haven't read yet, too. It's a bookish shame that many of us share, I think. :D

  13. I bought the Story of Us and still have not read it. We should get on that. I liked the Full Tilt books.

  14. READER HALL OF SHAME BAWAHAHAHA that is the best title ever!!! You should be shamed for Mile High---just saying I just know you will love that one. I really feel the shame with you on the Amy Harmon, her books are so good and I really need to get through her backlist.

  15. I just came across a review Ravensong and it looks SO GOOD. I hope you have good luck with it too! <3 I've also given up on Sarah J Maas, but I'm curious if you'll end up finishing the ACOTAR books 😂

    aimee @ aimee can read

  16. My list would be too long to post hahaha. I just read my first Lisa Jewell book and loved it. So naturally, I Found You is on my TBR too!

  17. I'm really interested in reading Wolfsong.
    I also have A Court of Silver Flames on my TBR.

  18. Call it coincidence but I just finished Ravensong last weekend!

  19. I've read that Lisa Jewell book! It was the first one I read by her and I really liked it. I've had my eye on the Kristin Hannah. I feel like unread books multiply when I'm not looking at them. Great list!

  20. THE GREAT ALONE is a really good one. Depressing, but good. I also need to read WHAT THE WIND KNOWS. I have a copy on my shelf just sitting there gathering dust...I hope you enjoy all these when you get to them!

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

  21. I've read two books by Jewel, Watching You and I Found You. I enjoyed I Found You quite a bit more than Watching You. Hope you like it too if you get around to it!

  22. I read I Found You a long time ago, and liked it fine. What The Wind Knows has been on my TBR for a while, and has great reviews. Maybe you'll get to that one before I do :)

  23. I've read and loved Ravensong, Mile High and A Court of Silver Flames. Hope you'll love all of these when you get the chance to read them!

  24. I haven't read any of these but hope you get a chance to pick them up soon. I have my own towering pile of to read books on my shelf.

  25. Ow yes!! My TBR is crazy long. I did read Mile High a few weeks ago, loved it! And I have A Court of Silver Flames on my TBR as well! I hope you get to these soon ;)

  26. Oh jeeze - I can't even let myself think of the books I'm missing. I was overwhelmed back when I was reading 200+ books a year. Now I'm managing like 1 a month lol
