This is a dangerous one for me because I hate reflecting on how annoying I am about buying books lol. There are a lot of books I’ve bought, were super eager to read, and even preordered, but still haven’t read. I thought it would be fun to do a double TTT with 10 books I’ve preordered and still haven’t read as well as 10 books I bought and still haven’t read. Books that I just neeeeded and still have not gotten to! Preordered and Still on the TBR   Had to Buy and Still Unread  

Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free Top Ten Tuesdays were started by The Broke and the Bookish and are now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review. Okay this is such a fun topic! I feel like there are a lot of books that I don’t stop thinking about. I even wrote a post a few years ago looking for hyper specific book recommendations because I just neeeeded more books like them. A couple of those will be featured here but there will be some newer ones as well!   The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was such a specific experience for me and so many other readers. I remember being so floored by how the narrative was shaped and how TJR went through her life. It’s that fun mix of historical fiction and contemporary that I enjoy. The Black Dog Bay series is one I’ve talked about so much on here. The town of Black Dog Bay is built around being a place for heartbroken folks to travel and heal. It’s like a classic romance companion series on steroids. The businesses have names like Better Off Bed-and-Breakfast, the Eat Your Heart Out bakery, and the Whinery bar. It was just such a clever premise for a book and I’m always thinking about it. Dissonance is one […]

Book Titles That Include “Summer” (that I Highly Recommend) Top Ten Tuesdays were started by The Broke and the Bookish and are now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review. I saw the prompt of “Book Titles That Include the Word [blank]” and thought I’d go with “summer” because tis the season! I sorted my shelves by rating so I could share my favorite books with the word in the title.

I posted my Summer TBR and bucket list since that’s something I usually try to pin down by Memorial Day weekend. I figured I’d include my general summer TBR here for new releases, like I usually do, and also share progress so far since it’s been around a month of summery reading.

The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review. This could be a top 100 list at this point. There are so many freakin books I can’t believe I haven’t read yet, including from favorite authors. I do have a habit of hoarding books by favorite authors so I always have one ready in case of emergency, so some of those will be on here too.

My Favorite Books by My Favorite Authors Top Ten Tuesdays were started by The Broke and the Bookish and are now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review. I’ve made a few posts where I rank books by my favorite authors so there’s a nice jumping off point for this topic. Some authors I’d consider favorites but I haven’t read as many from within recent years so I do think this list could look different than it did a few years ago! (Sidenote: reallllly need Emery Lord and Jenny Han to get me some new books…)
