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?

    A Thousand Ships has such a gorgeous cover! I have The Loneliest Girl in the Universe on my TBR as well, but haven’t read it yet.

I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’ I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’t know what to expect, but at the same time it was exactly what I wanted.

Driven is an entertaining, suspenseful new adult romance debut that has a second chance romance, is brothers best friend and has fast cars. 

It’s one of those books that is perfect for those looking for something that they won’t want to put down, leave them second guessing and wanting more. 

It’s full of second changes, finding yourself and falling for the one person that is forbidden. 

This is all such a great debut novel that makes me want to read more from Emma J Warrender.
