This week That Artsy Reader Girl asks what are the Top Ten Books That Have Been On My TBR the Longest and I Still Haven’t Read
Kylana
Thank goodness for goodreads right? I wouldn’t have this figured out otherwise.
- Bitten (Otherworld #1) by Kelly Armstrong – This book has been on my TBR since 2011. I really should pick it up but after the disappointment of the Sookie Stackhouse series I’m a little wary of starting something new that long. Maybe later this month.
- Wherever Grace is Needed by Elizabeth Bass – Another 2011 book. I’m not sure I’ll ever get to this. I don’t own it but it sounds good.
- The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey – Added in 2015 (Big jump!) I do own this book! I know I’ll get to it probably this year but no idea when.
- Lost Girl by Chanda Hahn – Added end of 2016. This isn’t too bad. I don’t think I own it but still sounds interesting.
- Deceived by Magic (The Baine Chronicles #6) by Jasmine Walt – Added in November of 2016 since it wasn’t out yet. It was published the following month but I forgot. I don’t think I need to re-read the other books but I might read a little of the one prior. I’ll probably read the one soon.

- The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern – I haven’t actually had my Goodreads that long, a bit over a year or so.. But I remember seeing this in Barnes and Nobles years ago and wanting to read it.
- Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman – I’ve owned this one for years, like four maybe? Started it and just wasn’t in the mood to read (Who would be while in Nursing school?) so back into the bookshelves it went!
- The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova – Again, saw it in a bookstore years ago and still haven’t read it yet… What is wrong with me?
- I, Ripper by Stephen Hunter – SS,DD. Saw it, liked it, never read it.
- Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris – I yay/nay these books over and over… I finally got a few at so fingers crossed that they get read!!
The really sad thing is I own all of these books and have for varying lengths of way too long… One of these months is going to be an “Owned only” TBR…

Me too. I’ve got a couple of his books and been trying to get myself to read them in hopes of finding a new author to love.

That is my second Gaiman, Good Omens was good (lol) but I never got around to finishing it… Wasn’t in a reading mood again… I think there will be a month of “started but…” TBR

I’ve had The Night Circus on my TBR forever too. It’s one of those books I know I should read because everyone talks about how amazing it is, but I can never seem to squeeze it in.

I think it is going on April’s TBR… Owning books is stressful!

I was a bit disappointed in the Stackhouse books, too. But, the Otherworld books have different character arcs in them, so you could start with just one.
I love Neverwhere! I recently found a short story from the world in a used bookstore. 🙂 My TTT

I’ve had Neverwhere on my list for forever… I love some of Neil GAiman’s books and hate others, so I’m hesitant to finally pick it up.

The Night Circus has also been on my TBR. I loved the earlier books in the Sookie Stackhouse series and I still haven’t read the final book. This is a great list of books.

I feel like night circus had so much attention that it’s on most tbrs. Not sure if that’s good or bad but I think it might be time to pick it up.
