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 Books I Can't Believe I Haven't Read. This could probably be a top 100 list but I'm going to try and keep it to 10!
1. The Dry by Jane Harper - This has been on my TBR since it came out and the second book looked even more interesting than this one. My library has this in both print and audio but for some reason it just never quite makes it to the top.
2. The Likeness by Tana French - I have seen so many readers who have similar tastes as mine list this as a 5 star read. I liked the first book but was annoyed that the main plot point I was interested in never got resolved so I never picked this one up. I have a copy sitting on my shelf so I really should just read it.
3. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett - The Secret Garden is easily one of my favorite books of all time but I've never read this one. I think I tried it when I was a kid but never got very far. I should give it another chance.
4. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones - This book sounds absolutely magical and I've enjoyed some of the clips I've seen of the adaptations. It wouldn't take me long to read so I should just pick it up soon.
5. Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros - I've read the first two books in this series and while I didn't love book two I'm invested enough in the world that I want to know what happens next.
6. The Girl Who Came Home by Hazel Gaynor - I'm just going to put this one on all these kinds of lists until I finally read it. I wanted to read it since it came out and I've thoroughly enjoyed every book I've read by this author but for whatever reason have never picked this one up. It's almost like I've got a mental block at this point.
7. The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins - I loved The Woman in White and meant to read this one the next year. It's been 7.
8. The Lion in the Living Room by Abigail Tucker - I watched a documentary by the same name and was completely fascinated. I meant to read this book soon after that documentary but then never did - even though my library has a copy.
9. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - I have a copy of this book on my shelf and so many people have just absolutely raved about it. The premise really pulled at me as soon as it came out but somehow it just has yet to make it to the top of the pile.
10. Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson - This one sounds like so much my kind of book but I never seem to pick it up. I just started another book by this author so hopefully I love it so much I end up picking this one up soon.
What books can you not believe you haven't read?
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed The Moonstone even more than The Woman in White!
ReplyDeleteThe Little Princess was one of my most favorite books growing up. I read it a lot! And I also love The Shadow of the Wind. Such a great book. I've had both The Dry and The Likeness on my TBR list forever. Still haven't read them. Maybe someday. ;D
ReplyDeleteI have read the Jane Harper and Rebecca Yarros and enjoyed them. I have read some Tana French but not that one.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
I've read at least 3 of these. Am just now finishing up a re-read of The Dry. It's a good one! I've also read The Woman In White and The Likeness. Can recommend all of those.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you will get to some of them, I hope so. Onyx Storm will be interesting to see what you think of it. Some serious looking reading here Katherine.
ReplyDeleteI need to re-read A Little Princess. ♡
ReplyDeleteI am a huge anime fan and when I watched Howl's Moving Castle I didn't know it was based on a book. I read the book several years later and although I loved the movie, I only liked the book. The movie is finally getting a sequel all these years later, but the title doesn't sound familiar, so I need to check to see if it is even based on one of the other books (which I have not read). Do you watch anime? ☺
I too have wanted to read The Moonstone, but I always forget about it. ☕︎
I really liked The Dry, The Likeness and Major Pettigrew. Highly recommend Tanna French's Dublin Murder Squad series. Oooo, Wilkie Collins is on my Classics list but I don't have this title. Great idea!!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I haven't read any of these.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Yarros' book. I have not tried any of the others.
ReplyDeleteI've read half of these. I especially love Jane Harper and Tana French. I hope you enjoy all these when you get to them!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Thursday)!
