This week’s topic:  Books I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read (this is a throwback topic from 2022)

I have books on my shelf from before I was ever a part of the online book community that I have yet to read. The oldest, as you will see I purchased way back in 2002… I’ve been quite ruthless over the last year about unhauling books that I’ve owned for ages and not read, but I have kept some, and those are the ones that will appear here! All of these books were either pre-orders, or purchased immediately after they published. They are also all physical books, I definitely have older books on my Kobo/computer, but haven’t gone through them recently.

The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams (2002, though published in ’88)
Poster Girl by Veronica Roth (2022)
Babel by R.F. Kuang (2022)
Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine (2015)
Early Riser by Jasper Fforde (2018)

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (2014)
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (2019)
Malice by John Gwynne (2012)
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Have you read any of these? What’s the oldest unread book on your shelf?
