Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’ve Had for Ages but Still not Read

Hello everybody!

As today’s Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by Jana of That Artsy Reader Girl) is a freebie, I decided to use a topic from before I started participating: books I’ve had for a while but still haven’t read! I have a lot more than 10 books on my TBR (over ten times that… oops), so these are mainly things I boughtat some point in the last few months or years. I’ve had to select these quite carefully, as there are other books fitting this description I have a different post planned for! Onto the post!

Anne of Green Gables– I’ve owned this in various editions since I was 6, yet I’ve never picked it up. I didn’t really enjoy the TV adaptation I saw, which has put me off a bit, but it’s one of my mum’s favourite classics so I will need to give it a chance at some point!

The Starman and Me- I was mainly attracted to this because of the cover, but the plot, of a boy meeting a prehistoric human, also sounds great so I really should give it a go soon! It looks like the sort of lovely MG I’m sure to enjoy at least a bit, if not love.

The Secret of Supernatural Creek– I’m actually quite ashamed I’m still to read this, because it was one of my most anticipated releases of 2017. I’m terrified to read it, as Laura Marlin is one of my favourite series ever, but I’m almost certain it’ll be as fantastic as the others so I will most certainly be slotting in a reread of the original quartet and this at some point this year.

The His Dark Materials trilogy– another one that I can’t believe I’m yet to get to. I feel like everyone has read these, and I’ve had them out of the library for ages, but part of the reason I haven’t read them yet is that I don’t know how on earthI’ll review them, as it somehow feels bizarre to do it in my usual way. I may just not review so that pressure is gone and jump in when i have a chance to read them all one after the other, as I do think I’ll quite like them.

Diamonds and Deception– this has been on my TBR for ages, and it sounds so up my street (a historica mystery), I really have no clue why I’ve not yet read it.

Operation Rhino– I’ve owned this book since the week it came out, and yet I’ve never read it. I think it’s because it had been so long since I’d read the series I wanted to reread, but I kept not doing so as I remember they made me really emotional the first time. I definitely need to read it soon, and potentially just skip the reread.

Little White Lies– I was given this book a couple of years ago for Christmas and it looks perfect for my very specific taste in thrillers, but I’m yet to read it. I only pick up thrillers on occasion, but I have a few on my TBR I love the look of so I plan to try and read a few in the next few months.

The Boy Who Went Magic– this sounds like a fabulous MG, and I was intrigued by the extract, so I must give this a try soon. I love MG fantasy as a genre, so I’m hoping it’ll be a good read.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase– I keep getting this out of thelibrary thenforgetting about it till it nas to go back, but it sounds fabulous. I’ve heard amazing things about Joan Aiken and I do really want to read this at some point. Hopefully 3rd time will be the charm…

The Boy With One Name– I was really excited about this debut before it came out, but I’ve still not got to it. Like The Boy Who Went Magic, it sounds like a super interesting MG fantasy, so I’m looking forward to trying it to see what I think. I saw it highly recommended the other week by an author whose book I really liked as well, which makes it even more of a priority.

What books have you had on your TBR for ages? What do you think of the ones I’ve mentioned, if you’ve read them? Let me know in the comments or on Twitter @GoldenBooksGirl!
