TTT: Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To

What is Top Ten Tuesday?

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To

I waited 18 months for this book to release, bought it on release day, brought it home and put it next to the others on the bookshelf. I couldn't bring myself to read it. I know I'll take an emotional battering with this book and I'm just not ready.

It was all anybody spoke about last January and it continually cropped up throughout the year. I really wanted to read it, and I bought it when it was on a sale, but I never bothered reading it. I don't know if it was because by the time I bought it, the burning urge to read it had passed, or if it was reading the feedback of so many others on how it's quite a slow and difficult read with characters who are challenging but I just never got into the mood for it.

That said, I still want to read it and now that book two is available, I'm more likely to do so.

I bought this on a 99p sale. I heard so many good things. I love the cover and the blurb. But, the mood just never struck. Hopefully, I'll get to it this year.

I love urban fantasy and this sounds so awesome but, once again, I've heard things that make me hesitate. I know I will read it, I just have to be ready for it. Since I don't own this already, I imagine I'll wait until the next book in the series releases before going for it.

All the love for this book has made it one I absolutely need to read. The need built every time I saw another awesome review for it.
The thing that stopped me? The price!
It's over £12 for a kindle version... That's insane. Seriously, £12.99 for kindle. £6.99 for the paperback. Where is the logic in that?!

I fan-girl about Ilona Andrews every chance I get. I love their characters, their writing, the worlds they create and they have very little published that I've left to read.
The Hidden Legacy series, is awesome and I was so excited it was continuing. I pre-ordered this immediately and waited months and months for it to hit my kindle... Then it landed on my birthday and I never read it.
I blame moving house, planning a wedding, and having the plague throughout most of December.

I love the cover. I love the blurb. Once again, I own the book. I have no reason for having not read it. I just haven't.

I started reading it then got caught up in the chaos that was my life Sept-December and never finished it. I really need to read this one this year... I was really really enjoying it when I stopped, plus - shudders in horror - it was an ARC.
*hangs head in blogger shame*

I've wanted to read a Lauren Blakely novel for a while and this sounded like it'd be so much fun so I bought it... And didn't read it. Again, no reason, just haven't.

NA, Urban Fantasy. Awesome blurb. Great word of mouth. Bought it (obviously), didn't read it.
😫

However! 
I solemnly swear to read all of the above this year and be better about collecting books I really want to read and then not actually reading them.

What about you? What did you not get around to reading last year?
