Top Ten Tuesday- Books on my tbr I haven't read and why

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Our topic for this week is Books on our tbr that we have not read and why. This topic was suggested by Caitlin Althea. I picked books that I own either as a physical book or an Ebook.

1- Renegades by Marissa Meyer

I love Superheros so I’m not sure why I have not read this yet. This is the only book I have by her, but I will get The Lunar Chronicles for Christmas this year. The author is beloved in the community and the trilogy seems to be hyped. Hype and this book not living up for the hype for me is why I have not picked this up.

2- Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

I wanted to put a classic on this list. This book is a classic and I have a feeling why I have not read this yet is because it’s a classic and I feel I need to enjoy it because it’s so beloved. My reasoning for this is the pressure I feel to love this story because others love it. This is a more personal pressure combined with the hype.

3- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

A Historical Fiction on this list because I’m me. Hype is the only reason I have not read this book yet. I plan on reading it soon and calling it research because I’m writing a Historical Fiction for National Novel Writing Month this year. I’m told the book is good I just need to open the Ebook and start it.

4- The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo

Here is when you all throw things at me because I haven’t read this yet. I know this is a beloved series. Hype and length are why I have not read this series yet. I feel like I need the story to live up to the hype in my head. I will start it before the end of the year, it’s a personal goal and I want to achieve it. The other thing about this book is have you seen that this bind up of the first three Ebooks is over 900 pages?!

5- Bookish Boyfriends A Date With Mr. Darcy

I love Pride & Prejudice and I’m not sure why I have picked this Ebook up yet. My reasoning for this is just time and distractions. I will pick up other books and just forget about this one. There is another book out now and I want to get that book as well.

6- Nevernight by Jay Kristoff

A friend and fellow blogger Mir from TBRandBeyond loves this book and yet I still have not read it. In my defense, I picked this up when it was a Kindle deal a few months ago or even last month. I want to read this before the end of the year so I can hop on the train of people who have read this trilogy. Hype is my reason for not reading this.

7-A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

I love retellings as all probably know by now. This is another book I got a few months ago, and I just forgot about. I try not to plan out my tbr as much because I feel like I can’t finish a book that way. I’m a big mood reader and I just have books I want to be the mood for. Mood is the reason why I haven’t read this on yet. The story seems fantastic and I really do want to read it at some point this year.

8-Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

I know I just said I don’t plan my tbr but I want to read this one next month or in November. This book seems so great and it seems like something I would enjoy. I have had this book for years and yet it remains unread sitting on my Kindle app. This is another moment of time and I just forget about it until I was grabbing books for this post.

9- Three Dark Fates by Kendare Blake

This is the first in a Fantasy series which has 5 books? At least four books I believe. Anyway, this one is hype because I’ve heard that fans loves this and there are some that have mixed reviews on this series. I want to read it because I loved the summary. I picked this up when it was a Kindle Deal.

10- The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

As you may know, Becky Albertalli is one of my favorite authors. I hear little about this book but I think this is more a case of me getting newer books and just forgetting about this one.
