Top Ten Tuesday: Dusty TBR Stacks

July 10, 2018 Comments : 25

I’ve talked about keeping my TBR shelf small in past posts and that’s pretty true. It typically hovers around 300 books at a given time. That doesn’t mean, however, I’m great about actually reading books that land there. Even when I try my darnedest, I will see a shiny new book and go obsess over it until I get my hands on it. And I always embrace the impulse of my reads – whatever sounds good at the moment is the thing I start, whether it’s TBR’ed (or owned, eek!). These sad books have been on my TBR shelf at least four/five years. Oy, the guilt!

Possession by A.S. Byatt

The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness


The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones
Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella

    My TBR never seems to go down very much either. It’s a nightmare! I can’t resist a pretty though!

      I am dreadful. My brain goes, “Ooh shiny…we must have the precious? Yes, the precious!” I think I have double the amount of books than square feet in my apartment lol. Eek!

    The Book of Life! Might as well do a re-read of the All Souls series to get ready for the TV series!

      I was just saying the same thing! I reread of the first two and finally getting around to book 3 is in order before the show πŸ™‚

      As small as mine is, I think I would wholly freak out if it ever got to zero. Even just imagining it is weird.
      May we always have things that we’re excited to read! πŸ™‚

    Shiver and The Paper Magician are on my TBR for this year, and they both have been on there for awhile! Written in My Own Heart’s Blood was a good addition to the Outlander series, I hope you get to it soon!

      Paper Magician is definitely on my priority list. I just read someone’s review that blew my mind. Like Dani, why haven’t you read that yet it sounds amazing!

    Hahaha… I can so relate to that dusty TBR stack! Because of the library and cheap/free ebooks, I’m constantly adding and not reading any of the old stuff. *sigh* BUT – I want to read Graceling so much!

    This is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

      We have this warehouse in town that sells a bag of books for $5 – anything you can stuff in it. It’s a real problem (and delightful treat). I’m the same way. Old stuff seems to hang around forever while I make way for shiny new books πŸ™‚

    Good luck with it! Graceling was amazing, I loved everything about that world. The MC, Katsa, is so badass. Matched was just meh for me, but you might love it for all I know. Fun TBR! πŸ™‚

      My sister recommended Graceling to me ages ago. I don’t know why I haven’t gotten around to it yet, her recs are always spot on. It’s one that is on my priority list for this year for sure πŸ™‚

    I have waaayy too many books on my TBR and I may or may not have just added more to it. It’s like… every time I finish a book, I add like seven to my list? Because obviously that is the logical thing to do. I hope you get to some of these soon and enjoy the heck out of them!

      I definitely go through phases where I add 20 books to my TBR in one Goodreads blur. I go back later sometimes and am like…wait, who wanted to read this? Surely it wasn’t I who added this! Haha
      Book cheers to never ending TBRs πŸ™‚

    I can relate. My TBR is so out of control that it doesn’t fit on the shelf anymore. I hope you get a chance to read all these!

      These ten in particular I have some guilt about, because I actually own all of them, so the only thing that’s getting in the way of me reading them is me haha. May we both tackle some owned books in our nearish future! πŸ™‚

    Only 300 books total? How do you do that? I’ve about 100 books on my TBR that have been on there for years and I keep adding to it weekly, if not daily…

      I’m a bit crazy about adding stuff to my TBR. Everything goes through a weird amount of scrutiny before it gets officially added. Definitely one of my reading eccentricities! I’m just trying to make sure I’m only adding things that I’m excited about and actually intend to read, but I’ve been (lovingly) told by other readers about how odd the whole thing is πŸ™‚

    I haven’t read any of the books on your TBR shelf… but I did buy a book the other day that’s been on my TBR for over 6 years. Yay me!

    Shiver is one of my favorites and First Grave on the Right was a lot of fun – I really need to continue on with that series. πŸ™‚
