My name is Joe, and I am a TBR addict.
I love adding books to that growing list, and I mostly hate taking them off (unless it’s because I read a book.) Most of these books will probably still be on my list in a year’s time because that’s the level of evil I am when it comes to my TBR. Here are the 5 that have been on that list the longest.
This week’s top 5, hosted by the wise and talented Bionic Bookworm, is the top 5 books that have been on my TBR the longest.
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
White Walls by H.M.C.
Sand by Hugh Howey
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Great list! I know we’ve had the Brandon Sanderson conversation before – he also managed to make it on my list as well. I’m planning on reading something by him in January so he won’t be on this list for too much longer. The Princess Bride is almost exactly like the movie which was amazing. I heard all the characters voices in my head while I was reading and smiled and said the lines along with them. Inconceivable!
Thanks again for participating! 🙂
That word… I do not think it means what you think it means. 😉
I own a physical copy of The Princess Bride, and I read it on Kindle a few years ago when it was on a super sale, but I just couldn’t get into the book like I could the movie. It’s so boring and dry…
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. I think I still have to give it a go, though. I think I’m going to do the POPSUGAR reading challenge in the new year, and one of the categories is ‘A Book to a Movie You’ve Already Seen.’ So, that’ll be probably be Princess Bride.
I don’t know why it was like that…but there was something wrong with it for me. Probably the unnecessary 50 page intro/forward…
wut?
Oh, you’ll see.
Hello Joe. I’m also a TBR addict. I recently weeded through my GR TBR list and cut out hundreds, and cried while doing so. But it had to be done.
I know it needs to be done, but what if I want to read those books one day!?!?!?!?!?!?!
White Walls sounds amazing!! I’ve added it to my ever growing TBR list.
American Psycho has been on my list for what feels like ages! It’s one of those books I always promise I’ll read next.. but then never do. Hopefully I’ll get around to it one day 😀
I’m in an online writing group with the author of White Walls. She’s super nice, which makes me feel even worse for not having read the book yet! 😐
American Psycho has been on my list for ages too
I’m going to try to POPSUGAR 2018 reading challenge, and one of the prompts would take American Psycho off my TBR.
It’s weird. I wasn’t planning on choosing that book to read anytime soon, but now that I’ve decided to include it as part of this challenge, I’m really looking forward to it.
I think I’m the only person in the world who hasn’t seen A Princess Bride. Maybe I’ll read the book someday instead. Also, I looked up Sand and it sounded really good, which then made me look up Wool Omnibus by the same author..and now that’s on my TBR list. Thanks for sharing (and adding books to my ever-growing TBR)! 🙂
Loved Wool. It was supposed to be a short story, which ended being the first part of the book. People went crazy for the story and practically demanded Howey expand on it.
That’s really awesome!
Oh gosh American Psycho and Princess Bride have been on my tbr for ages! And basically everything by Sanderson is on my tbr 😉
Omg!! Literally each book on this list is on my TBR. I just can’t find time for them.
I started planning for the 2018 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge. It gives prompts to find books like “A book set in the decade you were born.” So it really leaves you looking at a lot of different books that you normally wouldn’t have been looking at for your ‘next read.’ Ones like American Psycho and White Walls (which I was doubting I’d get to in 2018) are already on the list. I think they challenge will definitely help me cross some books off the list, as well as introduce me to some new ones.
That’s so cool. I need to check it out.
