Books That Have Been on My TBR the Longest

Books That Have Been on My TBR the Longest

Feb 9, 2023

I thought I would have a little fun today and share the books that have been on my Goodreads tbr the longest. If you didn’t know already I don’t only use my Goodreads tbr for books that I own but in general to keep track of books that I am excited about and want to read. I do that so I actually remember the book. Otherwise, I will forget so much about it. 

So today I am taking us back in time and sharing 10 books that have been on my Goodreads tbr the longest. Some I own, some I don’t. Some I don’t even know when I will read. A lot of the books that have been there the longest are young adult books. And I am just reading it that much these days. But let’s get into it. 

The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray: Okay let me start with, I have tried. I have tried to read this one twice now and I just couldn’t get into it. I’m not sure why, it has so much that I love in the book. But every time I have tried, I couldn’t get over 50 pages. 

In Honor by Jessi Kirby: I don’t own this one, but I know why. It was out in hardback when I first found it, and at the time I could not afford it at all! I was under 18, not working etc. Plus I don’t think it had a publisher here in Australia so it just didn’t happen. Maybe I should try it now. 

Spark (Spark #1) by Rachael Craw: I met Rachael Craw a few years ago, so I got the first book in the series. It sounds like my jam. Especially when I was reading YA a lot. Maybe I will get to it soon, 

Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer: This is one I don’t know how I haven’t read yet. I have adored all of Brigid Kemmerer’s books, especially her contemporaries. I want to love this, I want to read it. And I will, soon. 

In the Dark, In the Woods by Eliza Wass: This book caught my eye right away. I don’t read a lot of thriller/mystery but this one sounded fantastic. I know it took me a while to get it. And then I never picked it up. 

The Way to Game the Walk of Shame by Jenn P. Nguyen: I added this to my tbr when I was going through my contemporary young adult phase. It sounded brilliant and it still does and is what I was looking for. I wanted angst, romance and everything in between. 

The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia: This is another one that I added to my list when I was reading a heap of a contemporary young adult. It was what I was looking for, but again I could not afford the hardback so I was waiting for the paperback to come out and just never got back to it. 

Wires and Nerve (Wires and Nerve #1) by Marissa Meyer, Douglas Holgate (Illustrator)  and Stephen Gilpin (Illustrator): I absolutely adore the Lunar Chronicles series and this has been on my list for ages. I still haven’t managed to grab a physical copy but I imagine when I do, I will get to it. 

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys: So Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys is one of my favourite books of all time. So obviously I needed to add more of her books to my tbr. I just have not gotten to them yet. But this one. I need and want. 

Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn: I didn’t know too much about this one when I added it to my tbr. It sounded interview and was something that caught my eye from the start. I’m not too sure if it’s going to be something that I love now, but I still want to give it a go when the time comes. 

And there we go. Those are some of the books that have been on my Goodreads TBR the longest. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Which should I

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.
…

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!
