Hello starry readers!

I have books that I own for a couple of years that I still haven’t read and also the ones that I keep buying almost every week (I work at a mall that has a bookstore).

That was it. It’s a long list but my Amazon wishlist is even longer and grows every week. It’s a burden, lol.
Have you read any of the books mention here? What books you haven’t read? Let’s talk about it.

So many familiar titles in that list! I quite liked Ember in the Ashes and the Grisha Trilogy, and I’m planning on reading Darkest Minds sometime.
I have a huge TBR, but I’ve mostly stopped myself buying books on a whim. I only buy a book if I want to support the author, or if I really LOVED it. I moved all 50+ books that I haven’t read into my room to try shame myself into reading them, but no real luck so far 😅

I have tried to stop buying books altogether but it’s kind of hard with a good book coming out every week. My bookshelf is in my room so I is mixed with what I have already read. I hope I can read as much as I can without buying a bunch of at once 😅

OMG this list could go on forever! The only one I’ve read from your list is Animal Farm. Classic read. (The movie, meh.. You can do without). I’m going to share 2 or 3 titles (the ones at my house that I can remember from my desk. If I include the one’s at my mom’s house or amazon’s wishlist I would never end…) Anyway here goes:
1. Notes from the Undergroud (Dostoevsky)
2. The Chronicles of Narnia
3. 1984 (Orwell)
4. Complete Tales and Poems by Edgar Allan Poe (Some I’ve read, not the majority though)
5. The Life and Death of Adolf Hitler (creepy I know, but I love biographies)

I am so bad at reading classics! I really want to start reading them. I want the Edgar Allan Poe one but I want the Barnes & Noble edition 😅 and don’t feel bad about the biography of Hitler! I’m a sucker for history.

I think college helped me a lot to with reading and appreciating classics. But you also have to be interested, if not it feels like you’re pushing yourself. Animal Farm is a great start! The Edgar Allan Poe was a gift, I have this one: http://www.radiofree.org/us/product/edgar-allan-poe-complete-tales-and-poems/
