Books I’ve Added to my TBR and Forgotten Why | Top Ten Tuesday
I was actually quite surprised at how many books I had on my shelves that I had forgotten about or didn’t remember why I had them. I try my best to unhaul books that I’m not interested in any more so it was werid to find ten books that I didn’t realise I had.





- I’ll Give You The Sun | I have no idea where this one came from. I don’t even know what it’s about or if I still want to read it but it’s sat on my shelf and maybe I’ll get to it someday.
- The Novice| This is a book I have had for the longest time but I can’t remember picking it up or what drew me to the book in the first place but I am still definitely interested in reading this one.
- White Teeth | Another one that when I was looking at my shelves I had no idea where or why I had picked that one up. I don’t know what it’s about or whether it would be something I’d be interested in – more research is definitely needed.
- I Am Number Four| I have heard a few things about this book and this series but I cannot remember why I picked it up. Maybe I’ll pick it up one day but I have definitely seen mixed reviews.
- Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister| Who knows what I was thinking when I picked this one up. I think I’ll be unhauling this one soon, I really couldn’t read Wicked and I hated his Alice in Wonderland one so I don’t think this one will be up my street.





- Leviathan| I cannot for the life of me remember where this came from. I can’t recall reading a lot about it but I’m definitely intrigued because the Uglies series is one of my favourites.
- The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet| Not only do I have the first one of this series but I also have the second one. I haven’t heard a lot about this series or this book, but I love a good space story!
- The Summer I Turned Pretty| I actually know where I bought this one, but I’m not sure why I bought it. I feel like this was a series that was talked about so much a couple of years ago but I’m not sure if this is my sort of thing any more.
- Salem Falls | I have a love/hate relationship with Jodi Picoult, part of me really loves her stories but I struggle with the characters and the endings. So I don’t know why I picked more books up especially when there are SO many books I want to read more.
- Give Me the Child| This was probably a relic from me working in the charity shops last summer. I will definitely be reading this one, eventually but it was a surprise to see it on my shelf!

I would be super interested if you have read any of the above and which ones you would recommend! Let me know!

I’ve heard good things about Small Angry Planet! 😁 Hope you eventually enjoy it!
I recently bought White Teeth for my 15 before 30 challenge. Very excited to read it! I’m still waiting for the other books to arrive… due to COVID delivery time has been soooo long.
I liked Wicked but couldn’t get into Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister at all.
My TTT .
I read Salem Falls. I remember really enjoying it, if that helps. I think I liked her older books better.
White Teeth is very good! I read it a few months ago and really liked it
I have The Summer I Turned Pretty on my actual bookshelf, I can’t wait to read it!
Omg. I couldn’t for the life of me, get into Wicked either! I tried..multiple times! 🙈 I also have Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. Haven’t read it, nor do I plan to. 🤣 Great list!!

Salem Falls is actually one of my favourites from Jodi Picoult! I was studying The Crucible at the time so was a bit obsessed with all things Salem. It’s one I’ve even reread quite a few times!
