Top Ten Tuesday used to be a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, but was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This is definitely something I can understand and want to participate in.
This week’s topic comes from Dedra @ A Book Wanderer, and I had to go back pretty far, because I generally get through most of the books on my seasonal TBR lists, surprisingly.I’m constantly making TBR lists, but there’s always books that slip through the cracks. Sometimes it’s just because I don’t have access to the book, or because I don’t have time, or simply because I forgot about it. Here’s some of the books from my past seasonal TBR posts that I STILL haven’t read yet:
Spring 2022
- She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
- The Storyteller’s Secret by Sejal Badani
Winter 2021
- The Beautiful by Renée Ahdieh
- The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samatha Shannon
- Sweet and Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley
- Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
- Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
Books on my TBR by Black Authors
- How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones
- Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston
Winter 2020
- The Ruthless Lady’s Guide to Wizardry by C.M. Waggoner
What are some books from your previous seasonal TBR lists that you haven’t gotten around to yet?

The Samantha Shannon book has been teasing me for years. I find that my desire to read particular books depends on a lot of timing issues. If I don’t read a book soon after I place it on my TBR it will likely get shoved to the side by something else. My TTT list

Yes! I definitely have to read a new book right away or it’ll sit around forever. And Priory has been sitting around for years for me as well!

I enjoyed Priory of the Orange Tree a lot! And She Who Became The Sun looks amazing.
These are the books I still haven’t read from previous tbr posts!

It’s definitely an ongoing problem, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how much progress I’ve made too, since I’ve also read a good portion of the books I’ve made with my seasonal TBRs.

I haven’t read The Priory of the Orange Tree yet either.

I think the length of it is a bit intimidating, even though I’m expecting to love it.

These look good. I don’t do seasonal TBR lists, but maybe I should start! I do keep getting side tracked by Blog Tours though.
Have a great week!

I don’t usually do seasonal TBRs on my own, but there’s always TTT posts about it, so that’s what I referred back to. I do try to stick to a monthly TBR, at least as far as my ARCs and library books go. Enjoy your week too!

I’ve only blogged for a year and seemed to have missed out on them! I need to try and make more of an effort to go through my books. I get distracted by Blog Tours and library books so I will have to try and curb them!
Thank you 🙂

Shannon’s book is long, so I don’t blame you on that one. It’s a committment!

It is, but that never stops me before, so I don’t know what’s holding me back. Maybe it’s just all the hype about it? I’ve promised myself that I’m going to read it before the end of this year, though.

The Priory of the Orange Tree is one I need to read. And I’d pick up The Ruthless Lady’s Guide to Wizardry just for the title!

It feels like there’s two kinds of people in the book community: People who have read it and people who want to but have been putting it off forever LOL

That’s pretty awesome that you read most of the books on your seasonal TBRs. I’m such a mood reader that I love to make the lists, but I’m okay if I only read one book on them. LOL. 😀

I usually have to get my books from the library (or NetGalley if I’m lucky) so I tend to actually read them when I get them! That’s the only reason 😂
