I keep two separate To-Read lists. One is a list of books I want to read and should read soon because I already own physical copies of them. The other is the list of books I want to read after I get them someday. This way, my TBR doesn’t seem too overwhelming, although I do own a LOT of unread physical books.
Here, by ‘To-Read List’, I’m referring to my actual physical TBR, i.e. the tons of books sitting on my bookshelves waiting to be read – but NOT collecting dust, you guys! 😉 I do take care of my precious books, okay? I stroke their spines, dust them, talk to them and…😶 *cough*
Anyway, here is a list of the 10 most recent additions to my TBR pile:
- Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
- The Sentence Is Death by Anthony Horowitz
- This Cruel Design by Emily Suvada
- Obsidio by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
- Girls of Paper And Fire by Natasha Ngan (giveaway prize from Jean @ Book Rampage)
- Autoboyography by Christina Lauren
- Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
- 11.22.63 by Stephen King
- Betrayal In Death by JD Robb
- Jasmine Days by Benyamin (a lovely gift from a lovely friend, Udita @ That Curious Girl)
While I’m excited for all of these books, I’m definitely going to be reading Girls of Paper and Fire, Autoboyography, Jasmine Days and Crazy Rich Asians pretty soon for some of the reading challenges I’m participating in this year!
Have you read any of these books yet? Are you planning to? Which books have you recently added to your To-Read list? Let me know in the comments below! 🙂
Great list! I didn’t think to make a different TBR list, but I’m definitely seeing the benefits in doing to. I will need to carve out some time and do that, too. I haven’t read any of these books in your list, but I have heard a lot of great things about Crazy Rich Asians and I have it on my TBR as well. Hopefully you’ll enjoy all of these books! Happy reading!

I want Autoboyography too but it is so costly 😦 Nice additions to your TBR. I can’t wait to know your thoughts about Crazy Rich Asians. I enjoyed that book.

All of the books I want are getting crazy expensive!! 🙈 I’d have to become a Crazy Rich Asian to support my reading and book-collecting habit..😋😆
I’ll definitely read it soon! ☺️

Great list! I am going to be reading Obsidio this weekend (not ready!!!) and Girls of Paper and Fire is also on my owned-TBR of DOOM!

Good luck! Hope you like them both! I need to reread both Illuminae and Gemina before I pick up Obsidio – it’s been over a year or two since I read them and I don’t want to miss out on the story and the connections and then not enjoy Obsidio as much as possible.. this is one of the reasons I try to pick up a series only after almost all the books are already out or the series has ended. 🙈🙈

I do the same thing with my goodreads shelves! “(want) to read” for TBR and “read-next” for “I own this and should read it already” 😅 and I’ve also got to get around to Autoboyography and This Mortal Coil and Gemina oops … but a nap calls. maybe.

Awww.. with me it’s always ‘why am I still on this chapter, I’ve been reading for half an hour, my eyes keep closing, let me just put the book down here and give my eyes some rest…’
And then I wake up at like 6 in the morning and my neck hurts and the light is still on. 🙈😜

oh I’ve definitely been there … though I’m more likely to just doze off for maybe an hour and wake up again not too long after midnight 😜 honestly I’m surprised that I don’t feel sleepy all the time considering how messed up my circadian clock must be!

I read Autoboyography but unfortunately wasn’t too impressed. Maybe it’s because it’s contemporary and these books are not sitting very well with me lately.

Oh! Sorry to hear that, Laurie..🙈 I don’t usually read contemporaries but I’ve loved a few of the ones I’ve tried in the last couple of years and I keep looking for similar ones. I’m hoping Autoboyography will be as adorable as Simon Vs and Geekerella..☺️
