Today is all about the skeletons on your shelf. Those books that have been rotting away on your shelf, just begging to be read, discovered, loved, or hated. I have probably more than I should, as most obsessive book nerds do. I'll share a few with you.
This one has only been on my shelf for almost a month, but I already am not liking the dust it is collecting. I read Maggie's Scorpio Races and *loved* it and was super excited to get this one. It's one of those buys I feel guilty for not having started yet because I was so excited about it. |
This has been on my shelf for less than half a year but I still am itching to read it. I was originally waiting to read it this month, while the Teen Librarian where I work was doing it for book club, but I got engrossed in the Caster Chronicles (Beautiful Creatures) by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. So that didn't work out very well for me. |
I ordered this on the tails of finishing Pandemonium, the second book in the Delirium series by Lauren Oliver. I was reading another book by the time it came in and I have just never got around to it. |
This is probably among those that has been sitting on my shelf the longest without being read. And it's not for a lack of love for John Green. I've yet to read a book by John that I didn't enjoy. Other books just grab my attention before I remember this one is sitting there. |
I admit: I feel really guilty about this one. Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors, and has been since I discovered her around eight years ago. I just haven't gotten to this one. Every time I go to pick it up, I don't feel "in the mood" for it and go to another.
There are more, as I said, but I'll leave you with these. Feel free to share what skeletons are on your shelves - leave a link to your post or share your books in the comment section!
Smiles,

Great list! I've been meaning to read Before I Fall because it was very highly recommended to me, but I haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteConfession: I haven't read anything by John Green. I really, really want to, because I've heard such amazing things about his books, but, like Before I Fall, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Thanks!
DeleteYou should definitely move a John Green book up on your TBR list! :) My personal favorite I've read is The Fault in Our Stars, but Paper Towns was pretty awesome too.
