Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the Broke and the Bookish. Today’s theme was:
Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I Haven’t/Want To Read From X Genre (for example I feel like I’m pretty well read in contemporary YA but there are some STAPLES I can’t believe I haven’t read. Or if you just want to books you WANT to read in a particular genre…not necessarily long overdue)
Instead of narrowing it down to a particular genre, I’m just going to go with ten books on my physical TBR that I can’t believe I still haven’t read. [all covers linked to Goodreads]
I know I’ve talked about not having read these several times, so maybe this will embarrass me enough that I’ll have to get to them soon. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is going to be my next read because I have an extra copy that I’ll be giving away around Valentine’s Day. Look out for that! Link me up to your TTT if you participated or tell me some books you can’t believe you haven’t read.
I don’t own all of the books I can’t believe I haven’t read yet! Lol I’m reading Statistical this weekend though! All of these are books I want to read except Shift and Crown of Midnight, one because I’ve never heard of it, and one because I’ve already read it!! Lol R x
I don’t either, but I decided to pick from the ones I already own in an attempt to motivate myself to read them. 🙂 I plan on reading Statistical Probability this weekend too!
Have you started it yet? R x
Legend is so good but Shatter me, you must read Shatter me!! You have to experience Tahereh Mafi’s writing style!!
My TTT: http://frannieinthepages.blogspot.it/2015/02/top-ten-tuesday-ten-books-i-cant.html
That’s what I’ve heard. Soon! I promise! 🙂
Heading to check out your TTT now.
I REALLY need to get to reading Throne of Glass. Everyone loves it and I haven’t read it yet!
It’s so good. So. Good. Hope you get to read it soon!
I have only read Eleanor and Park. I need to get on these.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone, The Fifth Wave, Eleanor and Park and Crown of Midnight are all gathering dust on my TBR shelf as well. I have read Shatter Me though and really enjoyed it. The follow-up novella, Destroy Me was also great.
There’s always more books than time. Every book counts!
I love Eleanor & Park, though. It’s a little sad, but gripping–and the characters!
Eleanor & Park! Get to that after Statistical Probability–that one actually makes a GREAT February read! 🙂 Shadow and Bone! I should have included that on my list this week, too! I need to read that one, too!
Thanks for stoppin’ by! Hope you have a great week!
I have a copy of Daughter of Smoke and Bone sitting on my bookshelf that I bought last summer, I think, and still haven’t read it!
Eleanor and Park is a must read!! Such a fantastic book!!
I’m just now seeing this, and I’m so sorry I didn’t reply sooner! I can’t wait to check out E&P – I’ve heard so many good things!
I LOVE Eleanor and Park. I read it in one day- so good. I was smiling like an idiot the whole way through.
I have Daughter of Smoke and Bone on my list, too. Been curious to try it out after reading Laini Taylor’s story in My True Love Gave to Me. I need to reread Eleanor & Park… I loved it, but it’s been so long, I can’t really remember much about it!
Yes! That’s all I’ve read by Laini Taylor – her story in My True Love Gave to Me, which I really liked. I definitely want to try her series.
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is totally on my list of books to read. I also haven’t read a single book on this list, so I’m useless this week.
Lol! Not useless – just an inundated book reader like me!
Good list! I haven’t read any of these actually, but Eleanor & Park is definitely on my TBR. I decided to focus on classics for my top ten, but if I hadn’t, that one would’ve made it on the list. 🙂
I just got E&P from my secret sister, so I’m excited to get to that one. Thanks for stopping by! Heading to check out your list now. 🙂
Oh wow! You got some doozies on there!! I particularly loved Shadow and Bone, Legend and Crown of Midnight. Seriously, if like Throne of Glass, you MUST read Crown of Midnight because it blows Throne of Glass out of the water. I liked Throne of Glass, but it wasn’t until Crown of Midnight that I was fully on board with the series. Heir of Fire is amazing too. Great list! I look forward to reading your thoughts on these!!
I’ve got to get to Crown of Midnight ASAP! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for stopping by!
I just went with 10 from my TBR this week, too. 🙂 We don’t share any of the same books, but I did love E&P, Shatter Me and TSPoLaFS.
My StS!
I’m looking forward to reading all of those! Thanks for checking out my TTT! 🙂
Fantastic List!! I’m dying to read Eleanor & Park and Shatter Me! 🙂
Same! Everyone keeps telling me to read E&P, so hopefully we’ll both get to it soon! 🙂
I have heard of only Shadow and Bone from your list, need to check the others out. On the other hand your list is nowhere near as embarrassing as mine!
I personally think Crown of Midnight is better than Throne of Glass, so if you enjoyed the first, I think you’ll love the second. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t like The 5th Wave. It’s quite the thrilling ride and I felt exhausted at the end of it (in a very good way).
My TTT
You’re the second person I’ve seen say this today, and I wish I was reading Crown of Midnight RIGHT NOW! I’ve had a few people tell me they have issues with The 5th Wave the few times I’ve mentioned it. I still want to give it a shot.
The Bone Season was just so-so for me, but Eleanor and Park was magical. It is ridiculously well written. Hope you get to that one soon, because I’d love to read what you think of the book!
I hope to get to E&P in the next month. Fingers crossed everything goes to plan. Lol. I really want to read that one.
Great list! The Throne of Glass books and The 5th Wave made my list too! At least you’ve started the Throne of Glass series. Here’s my TTT. Happy reading!
I really liked Throne of Glass, so I hope you get to it soon. Thanks for stopping by! Heading to check out your TTT. 🙂
Another blogger I know adored The Daughter of Smoke and Bone, so I think I’ll have to check it out eventually!
I just finished up the Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey yesterday, and while good, I can’t say I was completely blown away. I guess I’m hard to impress!
Here are my Tuesday memes: http://shainareads.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-few-tuesday-memes-6.html
I liked Wool quite a bit, so I’m looking forward to reading the other two books. Hopefully we’ll both get to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone soon!
The 5th Wave is interesting in its world building and the realistic way everything’s portrayed, but I thought it wasn’t THAT good. The characters were mostly meh. Still worth a read, though 😀
And you have to read Crown of Midnight soon. The ending blew my mind, so you might want to prepare yourself and get The Heir of Fire ;D
Several people have told me that they didn’t like the characters (especially the MC), but I do want to try it.
Rachel (at Confessions of a Book Geek) sent me both Crown of Midnight AND Heir of Fire so I am prepared! Lol. 🙂
Wool and the Bone Season are both sitting on my shelf upstairs waiting for me *sigh*
I enjoyed Wool! Hope you get to read it soon!
I hope so too! 🙂 I’ve been looking at it for a few years now waiting to pick it up
Awesome list! Crown of Midnight is definitely worth the read…though you could always hold off until the release date of the fourth book gets closer so you don’t have to do the dreadful wait 🙂
Haha. That’s true. But I don’t know if I can wait to read this one. Lol.
My friend Maricel has bugged me like crazy to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but I’ve been completely spoiled on the plot, so . . .
That stinks! I know what it’s about. Sort of. But I don’t really know what I’m getting into, which is good.
Great list! I hope you get to read E&P soon. It’s SO good. I’m right there with ya on Smoke & Bone and Shadow & Bone.
I just got E&P from my Secret Sister yesterday, so hopefully I’ll get to read it in the next few weeks! 🙂 We really do need to do a buddy read of those other two.
Apart from Shatter Me, Shift, and The Bone Season which I haven’t read and The 5th Wave which I DNF’d, the rest are all in my favourites! I hope you enjoy them when you get around to reading them 🙂
My TTT
Ooo. That’s good to know! Even more incentive to get to them soon! Thanks for stopping by. Heading to check out your TTT now. 🙂
