Books That Have Been On My TBR the Longest

Books That Have Been On My TBR the Longest

February 6, 2018 Posted by angelreads Book Reviews 13 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is Books That Have Been On My TBR the Longest. 

So, this was hard. At the middle of last year, I went on a cleaning spree of my Goodreads ‘to read’ shelf and got rid of a lot of books. It was a great feeling, but in doing that a lot of books that have been on my tbr for years are gone. So most of the books on my tbr now are from the last couple of years. 

I’ve got a really bad habit of adding books to my tbr and then completing forgetting about them when they come out. It’s a bad habit that I hope to fix, but you and I know both know that won’t happen. 

So today, I thought I would share the books that have been on my Goodreads tbr the longest. Some I own, most I don’t but here we go. 

 

The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray: This has been on my tbr since it came out, I have 2 copies and I still haven’t read it. I don’t even know why. I think I will love it. It’s historical fiction, fantasy and a mystery. So many things that I love. 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols: I added this one to my TBR when I first started reading contemporary romance. At the time I don’t think I would have liked it, but now I think I will love it. Hopefully, I can pick it up soon. A fun romance that involves a cop! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson: This has been on my TBR since I heard Laurie a couple years ago. I think it’s going to be a heartbreaking novel that’s going to tear me apart. But I also that it’s going to be honest and breathtaking. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In Honor by Jessi Kirby: A road trip that focuses on grief. Ah, this novel is going to tear me apart. But that’s why it’s on my tbr. I love road trips that not only helps the protagonist deal with life but let themselves fall in love. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Kiss Kill Vanish by Jessica Martinez: A YA thriller – yes please! As soon as I read this synopsis I knew that I had to read it – but it’s yet to happen. Mostly because I don’t think it got published here in Australia, so I just never got around to it. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Kiss of Broken Glass by Madeleine Kuderick: I feel like this is going to be heartbreaking, but really impactful all at the same time. I think that books like this are so so important and I want to finally pick it up. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Clipped Wings (Clipped Wings #1) by Helena Hunting: A new adult novel that sounds haunting, beautiful and will tear me apart. I feel like these characters will take me on a ride of ups and downs. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Spark (Spark #1) by Rachael Craw: I’ve only ever heard amazing things about this one and I don’t even know why I haven’t picked it up. Like I have no excess. At all. Expect maybe because I don’t own it. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer: This was on my TBR before I read Letters to the Lost and I still haven’t read it. Again I have no reason. This one seems like another heartbreaking but wonderful read. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And that is it! What are the books that have been on your TBR for ages? Do we share any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!

    I’m reading the Diviner’s right now and it’s absolutely fabulous! It did take me a little to get into, but the writing is really stupendous and I’m glad I stuck with it.

    SPEAK!!! I totally think you should read that. I don’t think you will regret it– it’s like the MOTHER of modern YA. Also, The Diviners is FAB. I haven’t read past the first book, but I really loved that one. It has an awesome cast of characters and really creepy atmosphere.

    In honor is a book I really want to read too! It’s been on my list for quite awhile. I have another Brigid Kemmerer book on my list too because I need to go back and read her older stuff with how much I loved Letters to the Lost and More Than We Can Tell. Great list!

    Speak has been on my TBR for a while too, though it was one of Laurie Halse Anderson’s other books that was on my list this week, Wintergirls.

    I want to read The Diviners as well. Years ago, I read her book Going Bovine and loved it. Not sure why I haven’t read anything else yet.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!

    Speak, In Honor, and Kiss Kill Vanish are all on my TBR list. I’ve read Kiss of Broken Glass but I didn’t really like it as much as I’d hoped. Thicker Than Water sounds interesting.

    I have heard impressive things about the Diviners, but I`ll admit, the size of the books scares me. Good luck with your reading!

    If you end up reading Speak and enjoying it, I would definitely recommend the movie. I think it’s a very good adaptation.

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
