Top Ten Tuesday: books I HAD to have and still haven't read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every week the participants post their top ten to a specific topic.

This week is about the Top Ten books we just HAD to have... but are still sitting on the shelf unread.

I admit that I sometimes have that problem, but at the moment I'm actually not too bad with my physical books. I have unread ones but they weren't OMG I need this right now!!! books. But my kindle is a whole different story... my resistance to buying ebooks is much lower because of cheap deals and freebies. I could cry at all the awesome when I scroll through what I have and sort of want to read it all at once...


  1. My physical copy of Wither by Lauren DeStefano.
    I really want to start this series! But I bought this one in December and still haven't gotten to it somehow...

  2. My physical copy of Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter.
    I really enjoyed the first book and was annoyed when I had to wait for the matching paperback edition. But now I have the sequel problem, aka 'what the heck happened at the end of book 1 again?'

  3. Easy, by Tammara Webber
    I bought the ebook back before it was picked up by Penguin, but still haven't read it. In my ebook flood, I sort of forgot I owned it ^^' I hope to get to my many NA reads soon...

  4. Flight, by Alyssa Rose Ivy
    I actually have quite a few of her books! But I just haven't gotten around to them yet because of review books and because I tend to privilege printed ones.

  5. Untouched, by Jus Accardo
    There's really no excuse for not reading this one! It's a novella, for crying out loud!

  6. Fallen Too Far, by Abbi Glines
    Another one I really want to read after all those reviews! I feel like I only bought it a couple weeks ago, but now we're already waiting on book 3?!

  7. Dare You To, by Katie McGarry
    I was so excited when I got approved for it on NG! But I haven't gotten around to it yet. Soon though, since it's out in April!

  8. The Eternity Cure, by Julie Kagawa
    Same. Though I haven't had it that long.

  9. Masquerade, by Cambria Hebert
    I read the kindle sample and fell in love! I HAD to have it! But then review books happened and somehow I never seem to get to it >.<

  10. The Infernal Devices Manga
    I really wanted it as soon as the first volume collection was out! I mean, Will and Tessa to actually gaze at!!! But it's still unread. Even though I love manga. I'm weird...

So, that's it from me! What books you had to have like right this instant are still collecting dust on your shelves?

Stacking The Shelves

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews for us to showcase any books we've gotten that week, be they gifted, bought, or received for review.





My book haul :) All of them are bought apart from Origin, which is a signed ARC I won in one of the author's competitions :D It's my first ARC and it makes me very happy and I just want to dig into it already ^^
Enshadowed, by Kelly Creagh
Black Heart, by Holly Black
Touch, by Jus Accardo
Uncommon Criminals, by Ally Carter

I've been meaning to read Touch forever, but whenever I wanted to get it, it was out of print or only available in an edition that for some reason was very expensive. I put of buying Black Heart for a long time because I was reluctant to buy it because of that dreadful cover change, but I finally caved. I hate that all 3 books look really different from one another on my shelves thogh :( This is such an amazing series and I would have loved to own them all in the same edition and format!
Enshadowed will be my next not-for-review read, just after I've re-read Nevermore. And by not-for-review I mean that I don't need to have it read or reviewed at a certain time, not that I won't review it at all ;)
I'm also looking forward to reading Uncommon Criminals because the first book, Heist Society, was so much fun! It's not top priority though; I have sooooo many unread books at the moment that choosing between them is making me crazy >.<
There are some more books that I ordered that are supposed to arrive hopefully soon... for example I got an email that Unspoken, by Sarah Rees Brennan, was pre-released and sent on its way, so I hope it'll get to me by release day / Tuesday!

It's been quiet here as concerns reviews this week. The reason is that I've read one book for a blog tour and can't post the review till next week, and I'm still on the book I started after that. It's been a bit slow going with my reading, but I hope my speed will pick back up soon!

What new books did you get? Show off your book haul and leave me a link so I can check it out :)
