Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the Broke and Bookish.
Surprisingly, I've managed to read a lot of old books that I had bought a year or two ago earlier this year because of a reading challenge that I'm participating in. Unfortunately, I still have a bunch of books that I still need to read since I can't seem to stop buying so many books... -__-"
Books that Have Been On My Shelf For The Longest But I've Never Read:
This book has been sitting in my immediate TBR pile for the past year. It's at the bottom of the stack, so I think that's the main reason why I keep on forgetting to pick it up...
2. Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta
Heard great things about the author, so I decided to buy this book since it was relatively cheap and because it was a fantasy, a genre that I was really into a while back. Then I found out that it was part of an ongoing series, and that made my immediate need to read it lessen since I knew that I'd have to wait forever for the next volume to come out. Since the sequel finally came out, I guess I'll try to read it some time soon.
3. The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
Like Finnikin of the Rock, The Body Finder is the first in a series, and you know how I am about waiting for sequels. :P
4. Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson
Also a first in a series. Didn't realize until now, but the waiting period for this series seems to be a book being released every two years... Yep, this book will probably still be on the back-burner for a while.
5. A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass
I was really interested in reading this book once I received it, but I guess other books pushed reading this book back, and I just eventually forgot about it.
6. Blood Ninja by Nick Lake
Also the first in a series, although I was really excited to read this book in the beginning when I read the summary online since it involved ninjas, a pretty rare subject in YA books. But I think I accidentally read a spoiler of the book, so I wanted to wait a while to partially forget about it before I read it.
7. The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
I won this book and it's sequel in a contest, but I was never in the mood to read something gothic even though my best friend keeps on telling me to read it. :P
8. Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Again, a first in a series -- well, trilogy. I don't really know why I haven't read this book yet since I'm a fan of the author's books. The last book was released a few months ago, so I think I'll try to squeeze this trilogy into my immediate TBR pile as soon as it shrinks a bit. :D
9. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
It's such a small book, and I basically already know what happens in it... I guess that's why I've never felt the need to read it? -__-" But, because of AP Lit, I would rather not read any more classics for a while. :P
10. The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
Honestly, I'm not the type of person to willingly read classics for no reason, especially when I have so many more modern YA books to interest me in, so that's the main reason why I still haven't read this book and Romeo and Juliet yet.
