Top Ten Tuesday: I Can't Believe I Haven't Read These

hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

1. The Selection by Kiera Cass (and accompanying series) - I've been thinking about starting this series for a very long time and I feel like I'm one of the few people who haven't read it yet.

2. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell - I've been meaning to read this since I first heard about it.  It seems that anyone who's heard about Rainbow Rowell has read this book and I feel the need to be a part of that demographic.

3. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - This is the one classic that I've wanted to read and I just haven't picked up the book.  I don't know why, but I've got no excuse now that I have the book sitting on my book shelf.

 

4. Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Book Store by Robin Sloan - I feel like this book has been in every Top Ten and TBR pile I've made for the past year or so.  I just need to finally read it.

5. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer -  When this came out as a movie, I didn't watch it because I was certain I was going to read it that year.  Well, years have come and gone and I have not read it yet.  I feel like a broke a promise to myself, so it's going to happen.  I will read it...eventually.

6. Civil War by Mark Millar, Steve McNiven, Dexter Vines, Morry Hollowell - This comic.  I've wanted to read it since I became a fan of the comics.  But I've also had no interest in watching my favorite characters fall apart.  Now I own it and it seems inevitable that I will read it.


7. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs - It's been sitting on my shelf since I bought it early last year and I was so excited to read it when it first came out.  I don't know why it got pushed aside!

8. Watership Down by Richard Adams - Years ago my 7th grade English teacher told me to read this book and it seems right up my alley, but I've never read it.  I really can't believe I haven't.


9. The Young Elites by Marie Lu - I know this hasn't been out for very long, but I absolutely loved the Legend trilogy and I can't believe I haven't read this yet.  Marie Lu is a fantastic writer!

10. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith - I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book when it came out and now it's sitting on my shelf unread.  I'm sure part of me is hoping it won't be anything like Rowling's other non-Harry Potter book.

  1. Hollow City made my list as well. The Selection is the only one on here I read. I love those covers.

    1. I'm really interested in reading The Selection. I go back and forth from giving up on it because I know there are 4 books in the series. But I always come back to wanting to read it again.

  3. JANE EYRE is lovely - but long. Read it as a kid. My mystery group is doing THE CUCKOO'S CALLING for May. From what I'm hearing, it's not like THE CASUAL VACANCY and is quite good. Not Harry though, of course. :-)

    1. Nothing will ever be Harry... but yeah, I'm getting the itch to read it again so I'll probably get around to it this year.
