Books I’ve Added to my TBR and Forgotten Why

Books I’ve Added to my TBR and Forgotten Why

June 9, 2020 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 9 Comments

This week I’m sharing books that I’ve added to my TBR, but I’ve forgotten why. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I add a lot of books to my Goodreads tbr. It’s a place where I can keep everything about my books in one spot. I like to use my Goodreads tbr as a reminder of the books that I would like to read, they don’t necessarily have to be books that I own. It’s a place where I see something that I like and I add it to my to-read for later. So today I’m sharing some of the books that I’ve added to this TBR and I can’t remember why. 

I’m really bad at reading books from this TBR. If it’s from authors that I love or a highly anticipated then I will pick it up. But I do forget a lot about the books on this list. I do like to go through it every once and a while and get rid of books. Anyway, like always these are in no order. 

Kiss Kill Vanish by Jessica Martinez: This one came out quite a while ago now, and I’m not even sure many people I know read it. So I don’t even know how it ended up on my TBR. But I just had a quick look at the synopsis and it does sound like something that I still might enjoy. Will need to see if I can get it soon. I honestly think that the cover may have caught my eye. 

Clipped Wings (Clipped Wings #1) by Helena Hunting: I have completely forgotten as to why this is on my TBR. But I can have a few guesses. It could have been when I was loving paranormal novels – which I still do. Or maybe when I first started getting into romance. I’ve since then read something from Helena Hunting, didn’t love it, but I think I might leave this one of there for now. 

Cold Summer by Gwen Cole: I honestly think it was the cover that first made me add this to my TBR. In saying that, it does sound like something that I might enjoy. It’s a  historical fiction set in WWII. If you have read this one please let me know what you think. 

Brave New Girl (Brave New Girl #1) by Rachel Vincent: I’m not sure why this book was on my list. I’ve seriously forgotten as to why I would have put it there. It doesn’t sound like my thing. I mean I did read a few dystopian books, but honestly, they weren’t something that always pulled me in. It sounds so boring. 

Martinis & Moonlight (Country Road #3) by Andrea Johnston: I have no idea why this one is on my TBR. I didn’t like the first two books. They were both under 2.5 Stars to me. So why I added the next one I’m not too sure. Why did I want to put myself through pain? 

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James: I may have put this one on my TBR because of the author, but honestly I don’t understand why. I don’t read much science fiction. And when I do it has to be something that will stand out and from someone that I love reading. And that isn’t the case here. 

Cracked Kingdom (The Royals #5) by Erin Watt: I can’t even explain why this is on my list. Like, have I forgotten how much I didn’t like this series. I gave most of the books in the series 2 stars, I honestly don’t why I kept on reading. I thought that it would get better – but it got worse, much worse. 

A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes: This sounds like something that I might enjoy, but I’ve also not heard much about it. Especially from people that I know. It sounds interesting, but I have forgotten how it got onto my TBR. 

Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn: If there is one book on this list that I have no clue about. It’s this one. The others I can make some guesses, but this one. It’s not me at all. Contemporary romances aren’t something that I enjoy a lot. But a couple of people that I trust enjoyed it, so that might be why. 

Breathe (Sea Breeze #1) by Abbi Glines: I’m not sure why this is one my list. I’ve never really been interested in Abbi Glines books for some reasons. They have never caught my attention, so I’ve forgotten why this one is on my tbr.

And that is it for this weeks post! What are some of the books that you’ve forgotten that you have on your TBR? Are any the same as mine? Let’s Chat!

    The only one I recognize is Love Lettering. It’s on my tbr, too. I know it’s about someone who does calligraphy. 🙂

    That’s how I use my Goodreads TBR, too. In fact, it’s almost exclusively for books I don’t own — I figure if I can see it on a shelf, that’s enough reminder.

    This was a really fun post to read. I love all of your “how did this book plainly outside my usual interests list capture my interest??” reactions. Maybe secretly you were planting a mystery for yourself to solve.

    Cold Summer is definitely on my TBR, but it’s one of the books I have in storage, so I’m probably not going to get around to it for a while!

    I’m not super interested in Brave New Girl either, but I do wonder if it’s a tie-in to Brave New World somehow.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.

    Bummer you didn’t like the Royals series. Maybe you didn’t take that book off because you just plain old forgot? Or maybe that was the brother you were most curious about?

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
