Top Ten Tuesday is held over at That Artsy Reader Girl, where every week bloggers list their top 10 being asked about. This week’s post is about the Top 10 Books That Have Been On My TBR the Longest and I Still Haven’t Read
And this turned out to be quite illuminating ….
The Dragon Conspiracy, SPI Files 2.
I remember enjoying the first in this series, but as is often the case, I got distracted by something nice and shiny. Way back in September 2014.
Every Darkening
This sounds like an awesome exploration of what it means to be a superhero. Or something. Why did I forget about this?
Zeroes
Um. Yeah, this is the one that makes me feel bad.
The Killing of Bobby Lomax
Given I’m wondering why this is on my Goodreads, you can well understand why I never got to this.
The Rental Heart and other Fairytales
Hmmm… yeah like I said above…
The Secret Son
…. why?
Persuasion
For real. This is on my TBR. *shrugs* I think because I was feeling guilty I’ve never read anything but Pride and Prejudice?
Indelible Ink
I should have read this one. It sounds fantastic!
The Opposite of Hollywood
Sounds good actually.
Beside Myself
I think you have to be in the right mood for this one, because it sounds emotionally taxing… and yeah, still not there.
No regrets, I don’t think. What about you?
I think I remember some of these, especially Zeroes? And yeah it’s funny how books can be on your TBR for ages, and then one day I’m just like… nah. lol
That is exactly how I am too lol Just nahhh…. LOL
I’ve had Zeroes on my shelves for the longest time too Verushka but unfortunately books are always pushed aside for newer reads aren’t they. It’s hard being a reader, we’re so spilt for choice. I need to break out my copy and soon!
Kelly, you just made me feel so much better with regards to Zeroes! We are indeed spoilt for choice and low on time me thinks. Dammit, real life! 🙂
My problem is that ALL of my books sound great and I keep buying more so I can never read them as quickly as I’d like to! Sometimes I find it hard to choose which to read next!
Haaa, bookworm problems I can relate to!
Well, I just added Indelible Ink because I had to see what it was all about. So I guess the TBR grows. I’ve always been curious about the SPI Files books. I love urban fantasy but don’t read enough of it now – it used to be one of my most-read genres.
Heh, when that happens, I just go with my growing TBR and have made my peace with it lol It’s the only way lol I’m still keeping abreast of urban fantasy, but I’ve found myself reluctant to branch out because I’m enjoying mysteries so much. Checked out the newest Sin Du Jour?
I’ve actually read Persuasion – it’s the only Austen I’ve read. LOL I don’t think I know the rest. I have a lot of books that I actually OWN from years ago that I need to finally read.
I could not go further than P&P. I didn’t even want to try. I wonder if I knew I just couldn’t handle more than one jane austen classic every couple of decades!
Persuasion is very good! I hope you’re able to read it soon. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I dunno if I will, but thank you!
I have so many on my TBR, if I have more hours in a day it would be great! Most I haven’t been able to get from our library. I should really go through them. 😊
Oh, I hear you! And also someone paying us to read this goodness every day! LOL!
Persuasion is indeed very good. You might have to be in the mood for it though. I think I wanted to read Zeroes at one point, but not sure what happened. LOL
I think mood is the apt word here. I just haven’t been so in a couple of (long) years 🙂 Heh, yeah, but not understanding how books get onto the TBR and not read? I do that too! Still no good answers for it lol
Persuasion! I really love that book. I wish that I were free from TBR regret, but sadly I’m plagued by it! Combing through and culling books I’m no longer interested in is basically a religion for me, so the books I’ve got on there from 2009 (UGH) are still ones that I want to read. *cries forever*
Oh Danya, 2009? Oh honey, I feel like I need to hold your hand as you go through your TBR on a cull! I forget to cull, that’s my problem! They’re all just there!
Lots of titles here I am unfamiliar with but no big surprise. Some look like books I might enjoy though. Happy Reading!
Thank you Sarah — I am glad you found some stuff you’d like!
I haven’t read anything but Pride and Prejudice either. Oops 😛
*high fives* lol We have good taste!
Nice list! I need to read Persuasion too; I’ve read half of Austen’s works and really want to tackle the second half 🙂 Happy reading!
You are so much better than me reading my one lonely P&P, Kay!!
I’ve forgotten so many of the books on my TBR, like seriously, I don’t even remember putting them on there, lol.
*whispers* ME TOO. I really don’t understand why I put some of those things on there. I was literally looking at my TBR asking myself WHY?
I want to read Jane Austen’s work beyond P&J too but I don’t really count them towards my active tbr, you know? They are there if I feel so inclined but otherwise, meh.
I could work with that POV, Annemieke! I like it!
Don`t feel bad about Persuasion, it took me three tried to finish “Pride and Prejudice” and besides that, I have not read anything else by Jane Austen. I want to in the future, but I can`t say that I love Victorian literature. Good luck with your reading!
Carmen`s Reading Corner
I finally read Persuasion this year. The only other one by her I read was P&P and I didn’t care for it. I liked Persuasion a little better, but I don’t think Austin is for me honestly. 😬
I have a couple Jane Austen books that have been on my TBR shelf awhile now. Persuasion is really good, if you do get to it. I love Austen, but it always takes me a bit to settle into her books. The others you mention I am not familiar with, but they sound good!
