Top Ten Books I’m On The Fence About Reading

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It’s all about love of lists, love of literature and bringing bookish people together. 

This week’s list are the books that we’re on the fence about reading. I have a few of these! Ha.

As ever, book images go to Goodreads!

I used to really want to read this book but I’ve heard a few things that have put me off.

I have wanted to read this book for a long time! I think I’m nervous I won’t like it.

I’m not a massive fan of this genre, but I’ve heard good things. I’m torn!

I have yet to read this series. I’m not sure whether it would be for me or not.

Pretty sure that this book has made numerous appearance on my blog, but I STILL haven’t made time for it.

Hm. I used to really be into this sort of read, but I’m not anymore.

I know this series is massively popular but I’m not sure it’s for me.

I’ve heard very mixed things about this book so I’m really on the fence about reading it.

I was originally really excited about reading this book, but I’m not so sure about it now.

I’m not sure I want to continue the Throne Of Glass series. I started this book but felt pretty ‘meh’ about it.

What do you think about my selection? Are there any of your favourites that you want to root for? Let me know!

I enjoyed this writer’s debut so I’m looking forward to the next one!

I need to catch up with Katie McGarry’s books, but I’ve added this one to my TBR!

This sounds like a fantastic read. They mentioned for fans of Adam Silvera…and I was sold.

I love Kasie West’s writing. I’m looking forward to reading this one.

This book sounds excellent! I’ve heard good buzz around it so far.

I am very intrigued by this book too. It looks like a great contemporary.

I can’t stop thinking of the Pretty Little Liars show when I read the title. Excited about this one!

I like to dip into fluffy reads every now and then. It’s good for my soul, I promise! This one looks perfect for that.

I am intrigued by this book because I’ve heard really mixed reviews. Hopefully I’ll get around to it soon!

Oh my goodness. I’ve mentioned wanting to read this for so long now. I need to make it a priority really.

I really like David Levithan, so goodness knows why I haven’t got around to this yet.

I need to get to this book. I’ve had it for long enough…

This one is coming up soon for me! I have to do it.

I really need to start reading K.L. Slater. I’ve heard so many wonderful things about this author.

I love a good thriller and I intended to read this in December! I might get to it this month though.

This is the only C.L. Taylor book that I haven’t read yet, I need to read it!

I adore this cover. I really liked the sound of this when I came across it in 2017, but I’m yet to read it.

This book really appealed me because I enjoy reading books about mental health. I hope to try and read it this year.

What did you intend to read in 2018 but didn’t get around to? Have you read any of these books? Let me know!

Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To In The First Half of 2019!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It’s all about love of lists, love of literature and bringing bookish people together. 

This week’s list is our most anticipated releases for the first half of 2019. Now, I have to admit, I haven’t really looked into books in 2019 yet! I’m trying to keep up with my backlist, but it’s a struggle I tell you- a struggle!

Here are the books I’ve come up with (book image goes to Goodreads!)

This book sounds very intriguing. It looks like it’ll be part of a series too, which is interesting! It’s been a while since I’ve read a sci-fi esque book.

I’m intrigued to read another book by Suzanne Young. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book by her. This sounds very dystopian!

I thought I recognised the author’s name! This is Polandbananasbooks (A well knownYoutuber) novel! I’m excited to see what this book is like.

I like witchy books and this is a witchy book!

I still need to read The Hating Game but I’m aiming to do that soon!

Love Kasie West! It doesn’t take much for her to appear on my lists. She’s one of my favourite contemporary ‘fluff’ writers.

I like the sounds of this book! Again, I need to read a book from the author- The Kiss Quotient- but I’ve heard good things about that one.

I enjoyed When Dimple Met Rishi, so I’m looking forward to reading this one (again, need catch up with her prior release!)

This book just sounds sweet and I like a sweet read!

A.G. Howard always has such stunning covers! I’m looking forward to reading this book. It sounds fabulous. It’s inspired by The Princess and The Pea.

What are you looking forward to reading this year?

This was a beautiful read. I didn’t want it to end because I knew what was going to happen at the end. It was a really incredible read. I love Adam Silvera’s writing.

Another fantastic writer here. Heather Demetrios is amazing. I highly recommend her books. This one was heavy going but so worth the read.

I’d had this book on my radar and was so pleased I made time for it in 2018. I thought it was amazing. So not what I expected.

Another unexpected gem!

I love Matt Haig’s writing, if you hadn’t guessed.

I bloomin’ loved this book! 🙂 It’s hard-going but so beautifully written.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I thought it was really unique.

I adored this book! So much so, that I’m reading it with my book club at school! 🙂

This was a beautifully written book!

I read some cracking debut authors in 2018 and this was another one! 🙂
