Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Today’s category: Books I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read
I am obsessed with today’s topic. Who hasn’t been through this situation at least once in your live. You go to a book store, you glance, see a book that has a lot of hype surrounding it. Pick it up with the dream of reading it as soon as you finish your current read and said book gets pushed to the back of your already overgrown tbr pile. If you raised your hand, you are officially the luckiest reader in the world. As for me, this seems to happen with every book haul I purchase. Let’s dive into the ten books I HAD to have but still haven’t read.

I bought and then donated Highlander all without ever reading it haha! Six of Crows was really good though I would recommend it! I own two copies (one for reading and one for looking pretty)
My fiancé gifted me the series a few years ago and every time I pick up the first book, I get overwhelmed by the size of the book. I love the tv series, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to read the book.
I have Icebreaker and The Summer I Turned Pretty on my TBR. I love me a good romance so I understand your prompt on a spiritual level lol.
I hope you love every single one of these books once you get to them!

Thank you so much!
Ha ha. I seem to have this experience several times a month! The struggle is real. Glad I’m not the only one.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

The struggle is never-ending! But on the plus side, we’ll never run out of books to read!
I hope you have a great Wednesday.
I’ve read the obvious ones from your list: ACOTAR, SOC, Fourth Wing and Ice Breaker. With alternate success LOL!
