Top 10 Tuesday — Never Read Books

2 Jun

My full bookshelves, NetGalley shelf, and Kindle give testimony to my high hopes and TBR failures. 😉 I always have good intentions to read a book as soon as I take possession. Alas, I am an optimist when it comes to my free time and capacity to read all the books. Today TTT bloggers are urged to fess up to the few or many books that they have left unread. I went back to the past few years’ posts of Summer TBR Lists to discover what I really wanted to read and failed miserably to complete. I hope you (and I) discover a book we just can’t not read. Double negative there for fellow English majors.

    The Only Woman in the Room is very good. Not her best, but still very good.

    I read Summer of Yes earlier this year, and enjoyed it a lot.
    Here’s my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/a-author-names-alphabet-challenge/

    I have been meaning to read SHELTERWOOD as well, but alas…I hope you enjoy all these when you read them!

    Happy TTT (on a Thursday)!
