Top Ten Tuesday: Shelf-Warmers

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over @ The Broke and the Bookish

This weeks topic is: Top Ten Books That Have Been on My Shelf the Longest But I've Never Read

Well, this will kind of be relative. I moved to Spain last year and gave up a lot of my books (yes, you can gasp in horror here...) - so I've been rebuilding my shelves. These are mostly books that I've had since about June -July and haven't yet read - this is also because I'm only going off the shelves I have in front of me and not the masses of books I have at my parent's house. 

1. Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

I've been meaning to read this forever. So this summer I actually bought a copy. Now it just sits on my shelf waiting patiently. Someday...


2. Hades by Alexandra Adornetto

I know that's a picture of the Halo cover, but IndieBound was being difficult - and it still works. I had an ARC of Hades, but I didn't get a copy of Halo until the end of August when it came out in paperback. So both have been sitting in on my shelf for quite awhile. 

3. Claire de Lune by Christine Johnson

I just bought this book at a busy time, so it kind of got lost in the shuffle. 

4. Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernen 

This book was a victim of the classic - bought too many books at one time. I have a tendency to do that- (I have no control...it's terrible). 

5. Blood Red Road by Moira Young

Bought this one in the same batch as Immortal Beloved. Plus, I got it right when I needed a bit of dystopia break. I'll read it one day soon. Maybe this week...

6. Unwind by Neal Shusterman

This is just one of those books that I've always been meaning to read, but it often gets passed over for a newer book. 

7. The Maze Runner by James Dashner

Same story as Unwind. I also had someone who's opinion I trust and who's tastes are similar to mine say it was disappointing. I'll still read it - I'll just have to be in the right mood for it. 

8. The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

I read The Forest of Hands and Teeth and loved it, but it was so intense I couldn't just jump into the next one right away. I haven't gotten back to the series yet, but I think I'm about ready. 

9. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

I feel like the only person on the planet who hasn't read this book. I have had a copy for awhile, but I still haven't picked it up yet. 

10. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

I have most of the series - although some haven't been sitting on my shelf for too long. But I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. I think I will over Christmas break. I can't now, because I know that once I start with the series I won't be able to stop and I just don't have time to be that invested.
