After looking back at my 2018 bookhauls to see what I’ve read I decided it may be a good idea to do the same 5 On My TBR as Isabelle last week. She talked about 5 books that she’s owned for 2 years, but hasn’t read. So I decided to give that a go as well! 5 On My TBR is a way of keeping track. This is a meme hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Every week there’s a different prompt for five on my TBR.
This week’s topic is actually published before 2000. I honestly don’t have many unread books on my shelves published before that year. That’s why I decided to do the same topic as Isabelle. Let’s talk about 5 books I’ve owned for 2 years, but still haven’t read!
To do this post and stick to books I’ve owned for two years I decided to take a look at my March 2020 bookhaul. There are definitely five books on here that I still haven’t read, haha.
The Love Hypothesis – Laura Steven
I’m actually really surprised I haven’t read The Love Hypothesis yet. Laura Steven wrote two of my favorite books The Exact Opposite of Okay and A Girl Called Shameless. Isabelle actually read The Love Hypothesis not too long ago and loved it! So I know I will as well. A LGBT romantic comedy? Yes, please! This definitely sounds like a perfect summer read.
The Kingdom of Back – Marie Lu
In all honesty The Kingdom of Back definitely caught my eye because of the stunning cover! I just love looking at it. The Kingdom of Back is a mix of historical fiction and fantasy. This sounds like a magical story with a pair of siblings that are very close.
The Near Witch – V.E. Schwab
V.E. Schwab is one of my favorite authors and I’m still working through her backlist. The Near Witch was her first book I believe, but it got a new cover and I loved these sprayed edges. I really need to add this to my TBR this year.
Chain of Gold – Cassandra Clare
Chain of Gold is a book that has now been mentioned in many blog posts and TBR posts. It’s really time that this gets read. I love this world and have been so excited for this trilogy. The sequel is also on my shelf, so it’s just time, haha.
A Sprinkle of Sorcery – Michelle Harrison
I love reading middle grade books and really need to read more. A Sprinkle of Sorcery is the second book in the A Pinch of Magic series. The first book was quite the adventure and I love these stunning covers. I can’t wait to see where this story takes these three sisters next.
So these are five books on my TBR that I’ve owned for 2 years. Have you read any of these? Which one should I start first? Do you have any books on your shelves that you’ve owned for two years but still really want to read? Let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear from you.
The Love Hypothesis and The Kingdom Of Back are two of my favourites!
Loved Chain of Gold!
Great post Candyce! I have two of these on my TBR and have had them for at least 2 years too. I remember reading your TBR post 2 years ago that included these books… omg where does the time go? I hope you get to them soon, maybe we can buddy read those we have in common to help us bust this massive TBR? xx
