6. TITHE by Holly Black
7. SHADE'S CHILDREN by Garth Nix
9. STORM GLASS by Maria V. Snyder
10. THE BOYFRIEND LIST by E. Lockhart
I do the exact same thing! I must buy the book asap but then when it turns it, it sits on my bookshelf for ages.
ReplyDeleteI'd read The Boyfriend List first :)
Dropb everything and read Looking for Alaska! John Green is "my boom" right now. I love all his books.

I am so guilty of that too. I bought 3 this week that I had to have, but have absolutely no idea when I will have the time to read them. "shakes head sadly"
ReplyDeleteHmm, those books look familiar - are you sure you didn't peek at MY bookshelf? :P
ReplyDeleteKidding! I'm just as bad - I'm actually in the process of changing that by reading one bought book in between all the review copies I am trying to swim through. So far it's been working! :)
I am totally in love with Sharon Shinn! Fortune and Fate was a lot better than I expected it to be!
Love this idea, and it makes me feel so much better about the older books on my TBR shelf. :)
ReplyDeleteI had The Iron King on my shelf to read for ages and finally made it a must read by the end of the year in 2010. So glad I finally read it. I loved it. I have Leviathan on my list as well. Here's my list.
ReplyDeleteIt is so difficult when you hear about wonderful books to ignore that voice inside that urges you to buy yet another one!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten: http://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2011/03/top-ten-books-i-just-had-to-buybut-are.html
You have Shade's Children, The Historian, and Leviathan and you still haven't read them! You must read them soon, they are all great books. ^_^
ReplyDeleteYou should read the Historian. It's a great book, though a little daunting.
ReplyDeleteOh, The Historian was great, though sometimes it could be a bit confusing
ReplyDeleteI loved The Historian, though it took me a while to get through it because of its size. A lot of the bigger books on my shelves get ignored because of their daunting size. I have The Iron King too, wonder when I'll get around to it...
ReplyDeleteI do this all the time! I swear I love buying books more than I like reading them. (Blasphemy!) I have the biggest issue with sequels. I'll read the first book, absolutely love it, pine over the second book, buy it the day it comes out, and...NEVER READ IT.
ReplyDeleteI do this too, lol. But hey, you've got some great books to look forward to there!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about the Historian, but I haven't bought it yet.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my list here: http://hawthornescarlet.blogspot.com/2011/03/top-ten-tuesday-tbr.html
Looking for Alaska, Leviathan, and The Boyfriend List are all wonderful books! John Green is one of my all-time favorites, and I think Alaska is his best book.
ReplyDeleteI think all book lovers do this! :) But books you should definitely read from that list are Looking For Alaska and Iron King. They are two amazing books you will enjoy like crazy and the Iron Fey series is almost complete so you should definitely get the rest in the series! :D
ReplyDeleteThe Historian was one of the books I just HAD to have...still haven't read it either...funny :)
