So I thought I’d make a list of books I’ve started but for various reasons have gone back on the TBR shelf after a couple chapters. Most the time its not because I’m not loving the book, I just don’t click with it in the moment. Or sometimes when I get a huge pile of books, I start reading all of them and the most exciting one gets my attention. I do the same thing after grocery shopping. My dinner usually is a sampler platter of all the new food I bought.
So here’s the current list of books I’ve started and will one day finish:
Alice in Zombieland– This is a book that I read the first couple chapters right when I bought it because it was the closest book to me. Then I went back to the books I had already started. I’m think going to pick this one back up next month when work is slower, because I’ll probably devour the series.
Snow Like Ashes– I got this one for Christmas and again started the buffet reading plan, but since I had several library books I was reading, this one got put on the back burner. I’ve also been trying to knock off several books on my TBR challenge, so I just haven’t gotten back to this one, but I’m super excited just because of the depth of world that I can already tell it will be.
Adulting– this is based off a blog. I like that she’s quriky and sarcastic, but it still written similar to a blog, so it can be read in chunks.
Enders– The first book Starters was a great book that I really liked, but I’m having a hard time reconnecting with the characters. It might be the time between books. I’m also thinking I might need to actually read the second book rather than listen. When story lines are complected, it’s hard for me to listen because I like doing other things when I listen to books.
The Raven Boys– I got this from my Bookish Secret Santa this year, which she raved about. I’ve loved the first couple chapters, but, like the Zombieland series, feel I need to be able to commit to the series to really enjoy reading it.
Oracles of Delphi Keep– I’ve been working through this book slowly off and on. It’s not that it’s bad, I actually really enjoy what I’ve read so far. It’s just that I get distracted by books I want to read more. I’ll eventually finish this, just haven’t got to the “can’t put it down” moment.
Ruby Red– Another one that I’ve read a couple chapters to get the feel for it, but went back to what I was currently reading. this was a major cover love buy, but I love that it’s a time travel book. Maybe this will be on my summer read list.
The Night of the Solstice – I think I’m halfway through this book. And I have no really good reason for why I forgot about it. I like the story and the author. I think I just need to get it off my shelves and put it in a reading spot.
The Search for Wondla– This is another one that intrigues me with the depth of world that it seems to have. I feel like it has a Doctor Who type of Sci-Fi about it, which of course makes me want to read it. I just haven’t felt the urge to move it to the top of the TBR pile.
