Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Meant to Read in 2017

As I excitedly get going on my TBR for 2018, I have to take a good look back at all the books I didn’t quite get to in 2017.  This week’s theme from The Broke and the Bookish helped me narrow down which books I am the most sad about having missed, and will definitely get to this year.  Here are the Top Ten Books I Meant to Read in 2017!

The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman

This one is killing me the most. I have been wanting to read it ever since I heard it was coming out, and because of my book buying ban, I haven’t had a chance to get it yet.  I WILL get it soon, and I will finally read it.

The House at Riverton by Kate Morton

I fell in love with Kate Morton after reading The Forgotten Garden last year, and I ordered this on ThriftBooks immediately after finishing because I couldn’t wait to read another one of her books…. and I haven’t gotten to it UNTIL NOW! I just started reading, and after the first chapter I knew it was going to be magic.  Now I remember why I wanted another one of her books so badly.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

I keep putting this off until I get through some of my other series, but I will FINALLY get to it this year.  Most likely sooner rather than later.  My roommate liked it more than ACOTAR, which I loved, so I’m excited.

The Black Witch by Laurie Forest

I impulsively bought this book when I went for a different release because I HAD to have it.  I have a problem. Still haven’t read it, but I want to get to it before the feeling of “newness” wears off.  It keeps staring at me on my shelf.

A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

 I read A Darker Shade of Magic last April, and I was kind of indifferent about it.  Since everyone seems to love this series so much, I really want to try the second one and see if I can finally get on the band wagon.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

I NEED this book.  I can’t wait to read it.  Another one affected by my book buying ban… Oh wallet why can’t you be fuller!?

---

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I am all about this story, and I need some more non-fantasy books in my life right now.  This just sounds so up my alley.

---

The Lonely Hearts Hotel by Heather O’Neill

I almost broke my book buying ban yesterday and got this… I have been captivated by this cover and summary ever since I first saw it, and it’s killing me not to own it.

---

Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann

This is one of my friend’s favorite books of all time, and I have been wanting to read it for a while.  I bought it last year to read for my Classics Club Challenge, and never got around to reading it.

---

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

I have no excuses for why I haven’t read this yet.  It has been on my TBR FOREVER.  It’s actually embarrassing that I haven’t read this yet. This is the year.  It’s happening.
