Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Freebie: Books I just HAD to buy, but are still sitting on my bookshelf.
Hi! ๐
Freebie TTT’s are always fun! I decided to go with one of their older topics that they have done, which is books that I was dying to buy, but they are still sitting on my bookshelf unread! Narrowing it down to just ten books is pretty crazy, since I have bought so many books that I still haven’t read yet, lol. I think subconsciously I’m thinking that if I don’t buy them now, they will be gone forever, LOL! Obviously, that is not really the case…but who knows whatย I am thinking when I see these books that I need. The following ten books are some of the ones that I had to have, but I still haven’t read them yet.
More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera
Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway
We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach
A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray
Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider
Anything Could Happen by Will Walton
The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker
Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler
I was super stoked about all of these books when they first came out, so I bought them as soon as I could. I am still super stoked about them, but with my TBR continuing to grow and me being crazy continuing to buy MORE MORE MORE; they kind of just got pushed to the side. Sadly and realistically, I probably won’t get to every single one of these this year. I do plan to not let another year go by without reading them though! So in 2016 I will definitelyย hopefully (<— me being realistic again.) have all of these read if I didn’t get to them this year!
Have you read any of these books? If so, what did you think about them? Feel free to link me to your TTT posts as well! I would love to see what lists you have come up with as the “freebie” topic!
I hope you all have an awesome Tuesday! Bye! โค
๐ More happy than not is an amazing (heartbreaking) book ๐
Heartbreaking? Nooooo ๐ฆ
hey, but it’s more happy than not and totally worth it ๐
There are some good books on that list. I get not being in the right mood for books, however The Night Circus is brilliant! I also read We All Looked Up and A Thousand Pieces of You, they weren’t bad either.
Everyone is saying how amazing The Night Circus is! I just need to read it already! lol.
Well it really is a magical story hahaha
I loved the Witch Hunter! ๐
And I have only heard great things about More Happy Than Not! Great list ๐
Thanks ๐
The Witch Hunter sounds like it’ll be so good. And so does More Happy Than Not, I’ve heard great things about it as well!
My bestie cried in More Happy Than Not, so there’s that to look forward too ๐
I cry in almost all the books I read, haha. So I’m pretty sure I will for More Happy Than Not too lol!
Get your box of tissues ready then ๐
The Night Circus and A Thousand Pieces of You are awesome!
I need to read them! haha. ๐
I haven’t read any of these either but I reeeeally want to read More Happy Than Not! I’ve also heard good things about The Night Circus.
More Happy Than Not sounds so good, but now everyone is saying it’s so heartbreaking and there will be lots of crying! AHHH!.
Personally I love heartbreaking books!
Wow! You have some great books on your bookshelf to read! ๐
Thanks! Now I just need more time to read them all! ๐
The Night Circus is a really good one! I loved that book. I’ve actually been thinking about rereading it sometime soon (and I only have an ebook currently, I’ve been thinking about buying a hard copy). My TTT is my favorite comfort read books.
All such lovely books that I also NEED TO BUY as soon as possible! I have read Magonia and I thought it was lovely but it fell quite flat to me in terms of the plot and characters.
xoxo ๐
I seen a lot of people haven’t been loving Magonia as much as I hoped! Hopefully it’ll still be a somewhat decent read though. โค
Fun list! Don’t worry you’ll get to them one day. ๐

I’m sooo guilty of this! A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray is still sitting on my shelf unread, among many others! ๐
I keep seeing the Night Circus everywhere and it’s making me really curious!
I was seeing it a lot as well, so I bought it. I got my older sister a copy as well and she said it was really good and everyone seems to be loving it!
Lol, I have the same problem you do!! I keep buying books as I really want to read them and then they end up sitting on my shelves for months or years before I read them!!
I chose to focus on banned books as Banned Books Week is coming up later this month!! Here’s a link to my TTT post for the week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2015/09/top-ten-tuesday-my-list-of-favorite.html
I also need to read Magonia and The Witch Hunter.
They both sound like great books! ๐
As you know I totally understand the needing to buy ALLL THE BOOKS!! I haven’t read any of these but I have read that The Witch Hunter is actually amazing! I’ve been pretty eager to get my hands on a copy! And A Thousand Pieces of You has always had my interest (plus that cover *heavy breathing*)!! I hope you get to them soon and end up loving them!!!
It’s so hard not to want to buy all the books, lol! I am really hoping The Witch Hunter is as amazing as I’ve heard it is. I’m guilty of buying A Thousand Pieces of You, because the cover is so amazing haha!
Can’t wait to here what you think of them!!๐
More Happy Than Not and Magonia have been sitting on my shelves forever, but I just had to buy them as soon as they came out. I actually haven’t read any of the books on your list yet, but they are all on my TBR…for someday…
Hopefully one day we can finally get to them! haha. ๐
The Night Circus is amazing! I couldn’t put it down! I haven’t read any of the others.
So many people have been raving about how amazing The Night Circus is. I think it’ll be one of the ones that I want to try to get to this year.
I’ve read The Night Circus which was beautiful and A Thousand Pieces of You which was a lot of fun!
Check out my TTT.
Hi! I have this same problem. I want to read a lot off these ๐

Like you, I HAD to buy The Night Circus. Then it sat on my shelf for months. Finally I got to it and it blew me away. It is in the lead for favorite read of 2015.
