Top 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 Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read. For this one I’m taking inspiration from last week’s topic – My Favourite Books By My Favourite Authors – and picking books from their backlists I really should have read by now, often their debut or prize-winning books. In some cases, I even own copies of the books so there’s really no excuse…
Links from each title will take you to the book description on Goodreads.
- Learning to Swim by Clare Chambers
- Any Human Heart by William Boyd
- The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason
- Invitation from a Dictator by Rory Clements (This is a bit of a cheat because it’s not published until August but I’ve read all his others!)
- Conclave by Robert Harris
- The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry
- Human Traces by Sebastian Faulks
- A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne
- The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
- Case Histories by Kate Atkinson
Have you read any of these? Which books would be on your list?
