Top Ten Unread Books I Own

Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl, was listed as a Freebie. Since I have two rather sizeable tote bags of books donated to me by friends over the years, I decided to list Ten Unread Books I Own in no particular order.

1. The Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

2. The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks

3. The House Next Door by James Patterson

4. Kiss the Girls by James Patterson

5. Stars and Soil by Dax Murray

6. Weekend in Paris by Robyn Sisman

7. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

8. Oogy by Larry Levin

9. Picture Maker by Penina Keen Spinka

10. State of Fear by Michael Crichton

Some of these books I'm not really likely to read and should probably rehome to someone who would enjoy them more, but some of them I'm just waiting for the mood to strike.

Have you read any of these? Do you own any books you haven't read yet?

    I haven’t read any of them, but I hope you find great new homes for the ones you don’t want to read. There’s nothing like finding an exciting title at a used store.

      It's like trying to rehome pets. I don't want them to go, but i hope they're loved when they do.

    Ooh nice topic! These are pretty much new to me ones. Most of the authors I know of at least, but never read any of these. Ironically I do have a book that shares a title, but completely different author. I read it years ago and sadly had donated my original copy, but bought a new one on a splurge! Lol.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!

      Ken Follet's good, I've already read Pillars of the Earth, but his writing is also kind of heavy so i have to really be in the mood.

    It is nice to get books donated by friends and family, even if not all of them may suit your taste. I hope you found some hidden gems in your tote bags!

    Great idea! I've read Treasure Island, and I like it way more than I expected. Generally, I find classic adventure a little dull and boring, but this one was fun and exciting :)

      That's good to know its exciting, I'm more likely to read it now. but I agree classic lit can be boring.

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

Top Ten Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Image
Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
