Top 10 Tuesday | A Love Letter to All the Owned Books I Still Haven’t Read

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly book tag that was run by The Broke and the Bookish but has now moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week she provides a different bookish theme those deep-seated desires to list! Anyone is welcome to join in on their blog, in the comments or any other way. 

– Top 10 Backlist Books I Own & Still Need to Read –

Now, this is a TTT prompt I can really get behind because, like most of you, my owned TBR list is RIDICULOUS. I try really hard to not let it get too out of control but even so my evergrowing book hoard is reaching a new level. As we’re showing some love to backlist books this week all of the books featured below are ones that were released prior to 2018, physical books that I own, and a combination of ones I’m most excited to read as well as those that have been here since the dawn of time.

Been Here the Longest

The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina
Allegiant by Veronica Roth
White Teeth by Zadie Smith

I’m 90% sure that all of these were acquired around or before 2016 and haven’t been read yet because of lack of enthusiasm/forgetting/omg why Veronica Roth

Most Excited To Get To

They Drew As They Pleased: The Hidden Art of Disney’s Golden Age – the 1930s by Didier Ghez
Everfair by Nisi Shawl
The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli
Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons from the Crematorium by Caitlin Doughty

Coincidentally all of these are also gifts that I am incredibly excited to read but just haven’t gotten around to them yet!

I’m sure we will all be put to shame by this topic but it’s ok, we can all be a bit ashamed together and encourage each other to get round to all the great books we own.

This month for the #mythothon I’m reading Everfair, I’ll Give You the Sun, and the Last Namsara ❤
