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 of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
One of my (unwritten) goals this year is to read more books I already own. I have a lot of books sitting in my bookcase that haven’t been read yet. I made a decision this year to read one book a month from my bookshelf. So far, it’s going pretty good. We’re only in the fourth month of the year and I’ve read four books from my bookcase. Hopefully, I can keep up the momentum.
I was super excited when I saw that this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Unread Books on My Shelves I Want to Read. What a perfect time to pick out my next books to read from my bookcase for the rest of the year!
Here are 10 unread books on my shelves I want to read:
1. The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. This book is a recent acquisition; I think I picked it up from Barnes and Noble earlier this year. I bought it so I could learn some tips on becoming a morning person but I still haven’t read it.
2. The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley. I know I talked about having this book on my fall 2023 TBR list back in September 2023, but I confess I still haven’t read it. It’s still sitting on my nightstand.
3. The Collector by Nora Roberts. I have a number of Nora Roberts books on my bookshelves. I pick one up whenever I find one that looks interesting. Nora is always a favorite.
4. State of Terror by Louise Penny and Hillary Rodham Clinton. I received this book as a Christmas present two Christmases ago and it’s still sitting there, unread. I’m vowing to read it this year.
5. A Woman of No Importance by Sonia Purnell. This book was a book club pick a few years ago. I didn’t read it at the time but I think it sounds super interesting and I’ve wanted to read it since.
6. Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want To Come by Jessica Pan. I purchased this book from the bookstore so many years ago but have never read it. I desperately want to.
7. The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros. I received this book in a book box subscription a while back. I wasn’t going to read it because I felt like it was a young adult book and I had never heard of the author but when I was looking through my bookcase a while back I realized she is the author that wrote Fourth Wing, which I liked, so I think I will give this book a chance.
8. Spymaster by Brad Thor. Another book I purchased from the bookstore a while back. I love books about spies and I’ve been wanting to read a book by Brad Thor and this one seemed like a good pick.
9. The Other Daughter by Lisa Gardner. I love a thriller and this one looks thrilling! I think I received this book as a mystery book when I was buying books to support a bunch of different bookstores during Covid.
10. Atomic Habits by James Clear. I have a few books about productivity and habits that have been sitting on my bookshelves. I really need to read these books because I think they would be super beneficial!
Happy reading!
