Top Ten Books I HAD TO BUY but Still Have Not Read



Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at the other blog I write for, The Broke and the Bookish.





I think we're probably all guilty of impulse book buys or the good 'ole "I must have this book because I hear it is exciting/swoonworthy/romantic/full of all the feels/amazing/the best book ever" syndrome. I know many of you, my fellow bloggers and readers, have been the reason FOR these purchases of mine (I love you for it, you know.). Please don't hate me when you find out how much I HAVEN'T read.I won't even comment on these, because pretty much all I could say is, "I KNOW GUYS, I'm sorry. Forgive me. I will read it. I will read it now." I hope to get to all of these this summer. :)

Divergent by Veronica Roth 

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

Meant to Be by Lauren Morill

Crossed and Reached by Allie Condie

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Every Day by David Levithan

13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

Paper Towns by John Green


So, can anyone make me feel better?

  3. EEE!! Your list reminded me of SO MANY books that I have to read-- Meant To Be, Matched series, Paper Towns, Every Day, Amy and Roger's Epic Detour. That's almost the entire list haha. I'll promise to do these purchased books justice. Really.

    Hope you'll get to read these and have all those amazing feels! xD

  5. Oh you have to read Rebecca! It's such a great book. The rest on your list on my TBR list, but haven't bought them.

  6. I loved 13 Little Blue Envelopes. And Rebecca, actually. I read that one...oh man...12 years ago? Anyway...it was one of the books I had to read in English class that I actually enjoyed. It looks like you have a lot of really good books on this list - and some that are on my own mental shelf of "to read." Happy reading!

  7. Same here with Every Day! Although book club is reading it in June so I might hold off until then.
    I don't blame you for not picking up Crossed! I was actually really disappointed with that one and ended up DNFing Reached :( :(
    Ooooh pick up Meant To Be!! I thought it was SUPER cute. Hope you do too!!

  10. I'm SO glad Divergent is on your list as well! I can't believe I haven't read it yet, EVERYONE raves about it!
    I absolutely loved Shatter Me and Rebecca! And I also still need to read Amy & Roger's Epic Detour ;)

  11. Friend, you MUST read Divergent. I absolutely INSIST. It is one of my favorite series EVER EVER EVER.

    Whew, okay. Anyway, I also highly recommend Shatter Me (for its unique writing) and Amy & Roger's Epic Detour (for the story - road trip!) and The Lonely Hearts Club (for the girl power + friendship)!

  12. Divergent and Shatter Me are both on my TBR book shelf, too. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who hasn't read Divergent yet. I completely keep meaning to but then something distracts me.

  13. Oh my gosh, You have got to read Rebecca!! It's one of my favorite books ever and I even named one of my dogs Daphne after the author. Also, Paper Towns, Meant to Be, The Lonely Hearts Club and 13 Little Blue Envelopes are all great! Thanks for sharing and happy reading :)

  14. These are all great books! I've read 13 Little Blue Envelopes, Amy and Roger, and The Lonely Heart Club and they were all so good! I'm currently reading Divergent, and am enjoying it waay more than I expected to. Meant to Be, Shatter Me, Every Day, and Paper Towns are also on my TBR list. I'm so ashamed I haven't read them yet! I'll get to them...soon. Happy reading! :)

  15. Nooooo! There are too many on that list you HAVE to read. I loved 13 Little Blue Envelopes and Every Day and Meant to Be especially. But I have a ton. I've stopped going into bookstores though to avoid the whole, adding physical books to my to-read shelf.

  16. I love Rebecca! Crossed and Reached aren't as good as Matched, in my opinion. I understand wanting closure, but I kind of wish I had just imagined the rest of the story in my mind. I liked Divergent but didn't love it; just be sure to read Insurgent pretty soon after before you forget who all the characters are!

  17. I've read Divergent, Shatter Me, and 13 Little Blue Envelopes. They are all amazing and you'll want to go to the store and get the next book right away! You should definitely put them on the top of your to read list!
