#TopTenTuesday Books Added To My TBR Pile

Posted on by whatcathyreadnext

Top Ten Tuesday newTop Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

The rules are simple:

Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post. Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists. Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

This week’s topic is Books I’ve Added to my TBR and Forgotten Why. Now I know exactly why I add books to my TBR pile. It’s you lot, right? Yes, all you book bloggers out there. You will insist on reading books and then writing great reviews of them. And then sharing those reviews all over the place so I can’t help but see them. Or it’s those pesky authors who keep on writing irresistible books.

So I’ve gone slightly off-topic and listed the last ten books to join the many others in my To Be Read pile. (It excludes review copies and books for blog tours.) Recently I’ve decided to “reinvest” any Premium Bond wins into the purchase of books from small, independent publishers. (No begging letters, please; invariably they’re the £25 prize. If I ever hit the million pound jackpot, it will be a long, long list of books, and I will make a lot of authors, publishers and bookshops very happy 😁)

  2. I’m the same as you, Cath – I know why I’ve added books to my TBR list, so my list is also of recent additions – books I‘ve bought during this lockdown.

  5. I also know why I add books to my TBR, but there are so many I want to read, that some get lost in the shuffle. The ones I listed this week are all over 5 years old, but I am going to try to read them and then showcase them on Throwback Thursday. We shall see if that works.
