Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl with a new prompt each week. This week’s prompt is “Unread Books on My Shelves I Want to Read Soon.”
By the time we’ve drafted and published this post, we’ve probably purchased more books, so we’ll add *these numbers were accurate at the time this post was drafted*. What’s on your to be read soon shelf?

I currently have 112 eBooks on my eReader shelves that I have yet to read. Most of these were freebies that I fully admit I will probably never read. But I have so many I can’t wait to get to and some preorders coming this year that will go to the top of my TBR list. *cough* Emily Henry *cough*
Plus I have several eBooks on my library shelf, and several holds about to come my way. So, it’s likely to be awhile before I get to some of these. 🙁
On My eShelves
- House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J Maas. I know! I can’t believe I haven’t read it yet either! I really wanted to reread the first two Crescent City books first since it’s been so long. I read House of Earth and Blood earlier this month, so I’m getting closer!!
- Imaginary Things by Andrea Lochen. This was likely a freebie and has been on my eReader shelves for a while. It was published in 2015, which makes it the perfect choice for this month’s ICYMI challenge. Some Magical realism sounds like a good change up for me.
- I am the Chosen King by Helen Hollick. Every time I see the cover of this book, I remember how much I loved The Forever Queen, which I read many, many years ago. But it was not a quick read, so I kept passing this one by.
- The Passage by Justin Cronin. I had a friend enthusiastically recommend this awhile back and I immediately bought the book. It sounds great (now that I’m rereading the description. LOL) so it goes on today’s list.
- Think Again by Adam Grant. I’ve been tempted to read this for a few years after a former supervisor recommended it. But I didn’t purchase until yesterday when it was selected for a book club at work. That’s just the motivation I need sometimes!
On My Library eShelf
Before I can get to any of those I need to read the eBooks on my library shelf!
- A Soul of Ash and Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I was on the library’s wait list for MONTHS. I have to read it before my loan expires since there are many others waiting and I won’t be able to extend my loan! No need to reread the previous books with this one. I did that last year. Hence my choice of Kieran as a vaca guest. I {heart} him.
- Icebreaker by Hannah Grace. I’ve seen so many recommendations for this book and I’ve waited forever for it to come available. But I tried another book in the series and DNF after just a few pages, so I’m not sure how this will go. *fingers crossed*

I somehow have only 65 books on my bookshelf I haven’t read. I too have Funny Story by Emily Henry on the way, and that will get moved to the top! Future RBF Joint Review, Alyssa? 😉
The 5 I hope to read this quarter were hard to pick and I am definitely a mood reader, so these may change, but they are:
- 1984 by George Orwell because it’s a classic I’ve never read and it will help my goal of reading books published before 2000. I have no idea what this is about (don’t judge me) but, I enjoy dystopian books. I’ll definitely have to be in the right head space of this one.
- Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter. I saw this one on booktok and immediately had to buy it. It’s written in a mixed media format and I’m really excited for this one. Side note, for my college English 101 mixed media paper I selected Charles Manson as my topic and even brought my copy of Helter Skelter for the class to pass around. In retrospect, they were all probably afraid of me after I presented this paper. LOL
- A Man Called Ove by Frederick Backman is one I picked up at my local used book store. I loved Anxious People by the same author and am excited to watch the show adaptation for this as well.
- The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune has been on my list for a while and Alyssa including it in our recent post made me bump this one up!
- By the Book by Jasmine Guillory. This Beauty & the Beast inspired romance will be a great palate cleanser for me after a less happy book.

I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea. So good!
Murder in the Family sounds interesting! I have a similar story and I look back on it now and my teacher was probably nervous around me after I picked the topic I did. Lol.
1984 was really good. Hope you like it!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
My daughter enjoyed Icebreaker, and I really liked Murder in the Family! I hope you enjoy them both.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I finally read Icebreaker. I liked it more than I expected. 🙂
A Man Called Ove is a wonderful read! I hope you both enjoy reading your listed books when you can.
