I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS!!
All it takes is a quick five minute trip on Bookstagram and all of a sudden you’ve got at least three new books floating around in your brain and your heart just:
Your TBR is sighing aggressively, your bank account is crying and begging you to learn some self control, but your heart is so proud of you. You’ve made an excellent choice. You NEEDED to buy those books! And you are going to read them immediately to prove that point!
Aren’t you?
You’re going to read them right now aren’t you???
But I know you will eventually! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
And I know I will too!! eventually…
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by the lovely Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl, in which readers and bloggers come together to squeal, cry and ooo ‘n’ aaa at books.
Lightlark by Alex Aster
The Beautiful by Renée Ahdieh
Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
After loving the illuminate files I had to get my hands on this…. The series is complete… and I haven’t read a word of it shameeeeee
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto
Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson
Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
Got this on audible an age ago but it has just sat there….in silence… not reading a line….
What books have sat the longest on your TBRs??? Which books did you buy immediately and haven’t gotten to yet??

I feel like a lot of readers have a scroll that spools out and around the globe a few times! XD The amount of times I get gifted books that I yap about non stop to my family and I plan to read them immediately but that never happens! 😦

Some of these books I have heard but there are some books that I have not heard of. I have not read Shatter Me. I have heard about it and know what it is about. I have been seeing it around a lot lately. I am tempted just to buy it and read it. Have a great week and great day! Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2026/04/28/top-ten-tuesday-29-freebie-nature-on-covers/

I know right!! Sometimes I see a picture or a review of a book in passing and I just think “Oh that looks interesting!” but then it goes from the brain and I barely think about it again but the more I see about these books the more the goblin hoarder in my brain gets all “BUY IT!! YOU HAVE TO BUY IT AND HAVE IT! JUST IN CASE YOU LOOOOVEE IITTTT!” And then I wonder where my money is going! XD
