Hello friends and happy Tuesday! I hope everyone’s having a good day so far. As I mentioned last week, the first few Top Fives of 2018 are going to be focusing on what I’m looking forward to in 2018 and some of the things I’d like to accomplish throughout the year. So today I decided to focus on the books that have been sitting on my TBR (to be read) shelf for years that I seriously need to get to this year. Now, I’m not the kind of person who has hundreds of books on their TBR list/shelf because I’m more of a person who immediately goes out and buys the book as soon as I decide to read it. Which is probably why my TBR shelf has been at the same number for over 2 years because I’m reading everything BUT what’s on that shelf. So one of my goals in 2018 is to finally start clearing out that shelf and read some of those books!
Here is today’s Top Five Tuesday: Books On My TBR Shelf!
1. ILLUMINAE BY AMIE KAUFMAN AND JAY KRISTOFF
Why haven’t I read this book yet? No seriously, why? I marked this as to-read in November 2015 and either everyone around me has been telling me to read this book or have been reading it themselves and yet I still haven’t even bought the thing. I always see it in the store and say “I’ll buy you soon, don’t worry” and it’s just never happened. So I need to read this book and then read the entire series and experience what makes this book so great. It’ll happen, I promise.
2. HEARTLESS BY MARISSA MEYER
I’m a huge fan of Marissa Meyer, as you all know, and I was beyond excited for this book when I heard about its release but I’ve never gotten around to getting it. I mean I asked for it for Christmas last year but I never got it and every time I’m out buying books I remember Heartless after I’ve left. I think in my next big book haul this will for sure be included.
3. WOLF BY WOLF BY RYAN GRAUDIN
I. WANT. TO. READ. THIS. SO. BADLY. It sounds so good and like it’s such an epic story, plus it pleases the inner history nerd in me by being set following WW2 (which I know A LOT about) but in what appears to be an alternate timeline. It sounds beyond crazy and exciting and I will not rest until I have finally read this book.
4. DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE BY LAINI TAYLOR
This book has been sitting on my shelf since the beginning of 2016 but the only difference between this book and the rest that are on this shelf is that I’ve actually purchased this book. Yay me! But have I actually read it yet? Well……no……but we already knew that. But I actually own it so that’s a big step in itself and shows that I’ll definitely be reading it in the near future. I’ve heard so many great things about this book and I cannot wait to dive into it.
5. GRAVE MERCY BY ROBIN LAFEVERS
This was the very first book I ever put on my TBR shelf when I joined Goodreads, and over 2 years later it’s still there. I honestly don’t know what my problem is, I really don’t, but every year I tell myself “ok this is the year I’m gonna read Grave Mercy” but I never do. But I’m gonna be different in 2018 and this time I will read this book. It has to come off of my TBR because it sounds so cool and deserves to be read.
Well, those are the top books that I need to finally get off of my TBR shelf! If I don’t end up reading all of these books in 2018 I give you all permission to yell at me.
Until next time,
