Top Ten Books I HAD To Buy...But Are Still Sitting On My Shelf Unread
I did this topic once before in video form that you can watch here!
I'm going to pick ten new books for your viewing pleasure now (because I could go on and on with this topic!)
1. From What I Remember - This is just going to have to be a great summer read now!
2. The Fault In Our Stars - Everyone loves it, I just don't know if I'm ready for ALL THE FEELS!!!
3. Fallen - It seems to be a love it or hate it book, but I have to read it, right?!?!?!
4. Hush, Hush - Same as Fallen
5. The Rivals - I ADORED Mockingbirds. I even got Rivals early. I can't believe I still haven't read it!
6. Everybody Sees The Ants - A.S. King is one of my FAVORITES. This is the only one that I haven't read by her. Maybe I'm just trying to savor it? ;)
7. The Forest of Hands and Teeth - I even have the whole series signed!
8. Casual Vacancy - It's J.K. Rowling, enough said.
9. Alice in Zombieland - THAT COVER!!!!
10. Eternal Ones - This one is for you Loretta!!
Which of these do you think I should move up my TBR?
I read fallen like a couple weeks ago and you're right, it does seem to be a hit or miss. For me, it was a slight miss, but you may still enjoy it. Hush Hush and Casual Vacancy are books I REALLY want to read!!
ReplyDeleteSigh...a miss. (moves it another spot down the list...LOL)
DeleteI LOVED 'Hush Hush' and at the time I read it, I really liked 'Fallen'. The series kind of got worse as it went on. They are definitely love or hate books.
ReplyDeleteWorse? (and another spot down it goes)
DeleteI need to read Casual Vacancy also!!! Hush Hush is really good but I haven't read the rest of the series yet. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday!

Hush Hush seems to be getting better words than Fallen ;)
DeleteLol. I got Rapture on my list and it's also the same exact reason of why you bought Fallen but haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top 10
Are we crazy for not having read them yet? ;)
DeleteYou just reminded me that I have a copy of Fallen that has been sitting on my shelf for years. I put it aside due to the love it/hate it dilemma but yeah, I definitely need to check it out for myself too! I really liked Hush, Hush. Definitely wait until you are in the right frame of mind for The Fault in Our Stars. And have some tissues ready! :)
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
Sigh...when am I going to be in a TISSUES frame of mind? ;)
DeleteLOL on Casual Vacancy, I've seen that one on a TON of lists. And I'll ditto you on Fault in Our Stars, I've had a copy for a while but I feel in no hurry to get to it (prob because I've seen so many other reviews already...).
ReplyDeleteRight?! It's JK, but it's not Harry.....LOL
DeleteTFIOS! Get on that.
ReplyDeleteFWIR was fun and silly, so when you want something light and mindless, it's perfect.
I'm saving my last A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz too, but she has a new book at the end of the week, so we can probably wait for that one now. ;)
So far as Alice in Zombieland goes, I think you'll probably like it, but go into it expecting neither Alice in Wonderland or zombies. It's a romance novel, but you read those, so I think you might still appreciate it. I was pissed, but it's not like we agree on things most of the time. :-p
TFIOS...I know, I know, but the sobbing and the crying...sigh.
DeleteNew book at the end of the week? What am I missing?
No Alice, and no zombies? Yeah..I think I was expecting both of those things....
Alice in Zombieland and The Fault in Our Stars are both on my Amazon Wishlist! Maybe I'll get to buy them and read them both before 2014.
ReplyDeleteGood list! Happy reading!
Thanks Erica. FIOS seems to be well loved! ;)
DeleteI have The Casual Vacancy on my shelf too! I don't know if I will ever read it though, I'm afraid of ruining it. Ha. I liked From What I Remember more than I thought I would. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad FWIR is good! I'm afraid Casual Vacancy is going to ruin JK for me too :(
DeleteI know exactly what you mean about The Fault in Our Stars, and that's why it's still on my shelf unread, too. Ahh... so many sad books that sound good! I need a stretch of sunny days with no other responsibilities...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your list!
Yeah, sad books that good but I just don't want to feel depressed...such a dilemma!
DeleteI just made a blog about books reviews and i would really appreciate if you follow or comment me something :) Help me to start :D http://insomnia-ofbooks.blogspot.com <33
ReplyDeleteCome on FEEL all the FEELS!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou need zombies NOW! TFHT is a great series.
I do need zombies! I really need to make time for that one!
DeleteBut, but, but I don't WANNA feel the feels ;)
If I were you I'd take Fallen & chuck it out the window! LOL
ReplyDeleteVivian
Confessions of a Vi3tBabe
Deity Island
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this made me laugh so damn hard!
DeleteTHE ETERNAL ONES.... SIGH. now that we Co blog you may have to consider that one.. maybe.
ReplyDeleteHush hush was good :) and so was the fault in our stars! Read em's
you better be glad I am not feeling so well... about that last one.
Yeah...I think I'm going to have to move it up the list before I get in really big trouble ;)
DeleteI really liked The Forest of Hand and Teeth and I didn't think I would... Fallen I loved at first but did go down the father in the series it went. Hush hush was good. Alice in Zombieland surprised me.... I bought it for the cover and ended up loving it, lol. I liked the Eternsl ones too. I'm working on Clockwork Princess right now, it's a beast.... Hope you enjoy whichever one you chose!! Happy Reading!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like I have some good reading then ;)
DeleteLol several of those have been on my own tbr piles for a long ass time. The only one I have read of the pile is Hush, Hush and I have huge ups and downs with that series.
ReplyDeleteI think we both have the problem of not reading the shit we get Alexa...haha
DeleteI fell on the hate it side of Fallen but I enjoyed Hush Hush. I haven't read second in series, though, because I need a refresher at this point on what happened in Hush Hush.
ReplyDeleteThe Fault in Our Stars- I am not ready for all of the feels either! I think it hits way too close to home for me right now.
The Forest of Hands and Teeth is one I want to read, too, but haven't gotten a hold of it yet.
The feels...eeeh!!
DeleteAnother on the hate side...it is not looking good for Fallen!!
