Top Ten Tuesday: Older Books I Still Haven't Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Top Ten Tuesday ~ Older Books I Still Haven't Read

This weeks TTT focuses on older books, mainly published 5+ years ago, so I decided it was time to clean up my TBR and try to figure out if I'm actually going to read them. 

Noughts and Crosses - Malorie Blackman

I still can't believe I haven't read this series yet, I know its hugely popular and much loved by many in the YA community. Is it too late to read it now?

Red Rising - Pierce Brown

Another huge series from a few years ago, I have friends who absolutely adore this series... and the author *heart eyes* but I just never got around to reading it. It gets very mixed reviews on Goodreads, people seem to either love it or completely hate it and there were a few DNF's.

Glass Series - Maria Snyder

Over the summer I realised how many unread books I had waiting on my TBR, I mean I had some that I bought 2 years ago! I ended up taking a month to read through some of the books I already had, Maria Snyder's Poison Study was in that murky pile doom so I decided to give a go. Now I know people who adore this series and was good but that was just it for me, I didn't blow me away there was no heightened emotions when reading it so will her spin off series be any better?

Grave Mercy - Robin LaFevers

I remember being so excited for this book to come out, how have so many years passed already? I love assassin books and this one seemed to go down well with Goodreads.

The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater

I claim to be a fan of Maggie Stiefvater's but I still haven't read The Scorpio Races. While I adored her Raven Boys series, I do know a few bloggers that say The Scorpio Races is by far her best piece of work and I have the book so I feel like I should at least give it a try.

The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness

Again, another popular series that just flew by and I didn't get the urge to pick it up and read.

Outlander - Diana Gabaldon

Every year when Outlander is back on my screen I say "I'm going to read the books!" and I never ever do. And now with the new season back I'm in that same mood but have you seen the size of those things? They're so intimidating but I have found out from a few friends that despite the length they're actually easy reads so I think I'm finally ready to take the plunge. maybe

Defiance - C. J. Redwine

C. J. Redwine's first series has been on my TBR for years and I've heard some truly wonderful things about it but again I just never got around to reading it. 

His Majesty's Dragon - Naomi Novik

I loved loved loved Novik's Uprooted, it completely blew me away from beginning to end. And then I found out she had a dragon series, dragons? I am sold. Also there's multiples books in the series already out and just waiting to be read.

The Final Empire - Brandon Sanderson

I haven't read any Brandon Sanderson and I have no idea why. One of my friends is reading his Starlight Archieve series now and cannot recommend his books enough. So I figured before I jump halfway through his series I should probably start from the beginning.

Far too many books and not enough time ahhh!

Well there's my Top Ten Choices!

Happy Reading
