Top Ten Tuesday #1
 
I thought we could start a weekly topic of the week. I got the idea from the Top Ten Tuesday. It is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Updates are now at That Artsy Reader Girl.

This Tuesday's topic is: January 19: Books I Meant to Read In 2020 but Didn’t Get To


You don't have to come up with 10. It can be however many you want to list.

These are books that have been on my TBR for a while from past comic cons. Hopefully I will read them this year!

2) King of Ashes by Raymond E. Feist.
3) The Heir of Night by Helen Lowe.
4) A Plague of Giants by Kevin Hearne.

Me too! Hoping to cross some of these books off my list this year :fingers_crossed:

I really should stop buying books this year and just listen to/read the ones I have.

If I made my list longer than 10 these would be on them too.

How many times I've had the same thought, but not the required selfcontrol...

Maybe you can read 3 books a month on the list and then you'll get them done this year.

I have it waiting for me in my audible library

Oh no!
I remember there being a violin in it.

:lol:

It's harder also when audible gives me credits that expire at the end of the year so I know I have to use them. If there was no expiration date I'd feel less pressure to get something .

Yea sales and new releases make it a very hard to rule to follow.
