Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Oldest Books on My TBR. There are so many classic mysteries and books I haven't read so my TBR is full of books published quite awhile ago.
1. The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins - (pub 1868) This may be the classic I read in 2025 - it's in the running as I loved the previous book I read by Collins.
2. The Rose and the Yew Tree by Mary Westmacott - (pub 1948) I've read everything Agatha Christie has written multiple times but somehow have yet to read her Mary Westmacott books. This one especially appeals to me.
3. Miss Pym Disposes by Josephine Tey - (pub 1946) - This is one of the next books on my Josphine Tey list and it's one I've heard really good things about.
4. The Rescuers by Margery Sharp - (pub 1959) I love the Disney movie and just recently discovered that it was based on a book which I of course now need to read.
5. Miss Plum and Miss Penny by Dorothy Evelyn Smith - (pub 1959) I suspect this was added after a review from one of my favorite YouTubers - Lil's Vintage World - and it sounds lovely.
6. The Blind Side by Patricia Wentworth - (pub 1939) Patricia Wentworth is one of my favorite mystery authors and this is one I haven't read.
7. The Secret of Terror Castle by Robert Arthur - (pub 1964) This was mentioned in a Gigi Pandian book and it sounded really fun so of course I need to read it!
8. Murder a la Mode by Patricia Moyes - (pub 1963) I've been enjoying reading through Moyes' Inspector Tibbett books and this is the next one on my list.
9. The Secret Island by Enid Blyton - (pub 1938) Somehow, I never ended up reading Blyton as a child but I feel like I should make up for that now.
10. The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James - (pub 1881) This is another book on my list of classics I might read in 2025. I didn't love the other book I read by James but I feel I should give this one a try.
What are some of the oldest books on your TBR?
