TTT. 7 Books I Was SO EXCITED to Get, but Still Haven’t Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.
 
Top Ten Tuesday wants to shame us all this week. It's calling out our compulsive book-buying habits and exposing the happiness of finally getting the book we wanted only to put it on the TBR pile and never pick it ever again. Okay, "ever again" is too harsh. Let me replace it by "only picking it a thousand years later after cleaning the dust and some spiderwebs." Better, right? 😋 Now it's time to start my guilt trip with seven books I wanted so freaking much, but I have yet to plunge into their worlds.

  3. I have not read any of these, but I have read other books by a few of the authors (Sutherland, Choi). I hope you get to them soon!

  4. The struggle is real, isn't it? I have a bad "out of sight, out of mind" habit with purchased books. As soon as I own them for myself, I seem to forget I ever wanted to read them and am genuinely surprised when I spy them years later sitting on my shelf. When did I buy THAT?? Hm. Seriously, it's a problem. I've been clearing out my bookshelves for an upcoming move and I can't even tell you how many duplicate books I've found in my collection. Oops! I hope you enjoy all these when you get to them.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

  8. Oh I wouldn't worry... I couldn't do this topic if my life depended on it as I have so many books the list would be unending! Things have gotten majorly out of control the past few years...
