This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Earliest Published Books On My TBR, a topic suggested by Nicole at BookWyrm Knits. I had to rely on Goodreads for this so I suspect there are books with earlier publication dates I’ve missed. I’d have expected most of the books on my list to be on my Kindle, which is where unread books go to hide, but strangely they’re not. Links from the titles will take you to the book description. Apologies to any author who spots one of their books on my list.

1. The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden (January 1958)
2. Jericho by Dirk Bogarde (January 1992)
3. The Night Manager by John le Carré (June 1993)
4. Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson (March 1995)
5. Any Human Heart by William Boyd (January 2002)
6. Pompeii by Robert Harris (January 2003)
7. Instances of the Number 3 by Salley Vickers (January 2003)
8. In the Company of Cheerful Ladies (No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency #6) by Alexander McCall Smith (January 2004)
9. Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernières (April 2004)
10. Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult (March 2007)
