Top Ten Tuesday Is A Weekly Meme Hosted By The Lovely Ladies At The Artsy Reader Girl! Each Week, A New Topic Is Put Into Place And Bloggers Share Their Top Ten Accordingly.
It’s been such a long time since I did a Top Ten Tuesday, so today is all about that dreaded TBR. There is some books I’m avoiding on my TBR, and it’s loads of reasons, hype, scared for the end of the series, if I’m a mood reader, another just gets added to the TBR that I’m desperate to read and so much more. So here are the books I’ve avoided or delayed (- I think that’s a better word) on my TBR. I feel terrible about this post. But I will get to these books – I think a challenge could be in order.
Can you see a theme here????? Fantasy books are my favourite genre but I seem to be terrible at keeping up with them.
The Extinction Trials: Rebel by S.M. Wilson – I think this is a case of I can’t bear for this series to end. I’ve loved each and every one and it was my most anticipated and I can’t bare end of series books.
We Are Blood and Thunder by Kesia Lupo – I was offered for review, I interviewed the author and then time ran away with me for my TBR that month. I feel terrible.
The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman – A combination of time and hype around the bookstagram. Sometimes I like to read when there isn’t
The Near Witch by V.E. Schwab – The book that kickstarted my love of V.E. Schwab, the retrieval of that book I might like to point out. I read a few of her other books but not this one yet.
Fierce Fragile Hearts by Sara Barnard – Finally not a fantasy book. One of my favourite contemporary authors and once again, time and more books added to the TBR that I haven’t gotten round to it…yet.
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness – I read and absolutely adored A Discovery of Witches, but with the TV show, I wanted to read more but then I also wanted to wait until the next season too.
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – HYPE!!!!!!!! And still is as well even though I said on bookstagram that it’s at the top, what with A Heart so Fierce and Broken.
How Do You Like Me Now? by Holly Bourne – I’m so used to Holly’s YA books that I’m not sure I’m ready to read it just yet. I do keep prolonging this one.
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas – I know what you are all going to say!!!! HYPE!
Are you the same as me with some of these books? Do you think there are some I need to forget avoiding and just read them. Do you have a TTT post? Leave your link in the comments and I’ll come visit.
Sometimes I’m just not in the mood for a certain type of book I might leave it for a while – sometimes if I’m tired and it doesn’t have me hooked 3 chapters I might abandon for a while – the trouble is, if you leave them, something else always comes along…
I’m a big mood reader, so it’s not often that I’m avoiding reading a book. That said, I do have a few absolute units on my TBR I haven’t read yet for the simple reason that I’m intimidated by them.
I loved THUG and recommend that to everyone. I also really enjoyed The Devouring Gray and Sky in the Deep. I hope you end up liking them, too.
Great list! Ohh you have a lot on here you should definitely read – Loved Sky in the Deep but The Girl the Sea Gave back I didn’t love as much. 😕 THUG is a great read. Hope you eventually get to these! ☺️
I put THUG on my list too!

The Hate U Give is so good. Really better than the hype, so I hope you read it. Enjoy! My list is at https://wp.me/pVH00-3zh.
I really want to read the near witch soon out of curiosity. I haven’t been a fan of some of her adult fantasy books, but maybe her YA will win me over? Great post!
I just listed to The Near Witch on audiobook and it was very good. Definitely worth picking up. 🙂

A Curse So Dark And Lonely surprised me by being what I hoped ACOTAR would be, definately worth a read!
I’ve read quite a few of these and genuinely enjoyed them! BUT, I’m right there with you when it comes to The Devouring Gray! I am avoiding it! (I have no reason to because hype isn’t necessarily something I buy into or fight against just because taste is so subjective.) AND I PROBABLY WILL BE FOR A LONG TIME, because obviously I am the worst. Oh! And Sky in the Deep–although, admittedly, I didn’t know she was the same author behind The Girl the Sea Gave Back. I really need to crawl out from under my rock someday soon haha!
