Today’s Top Ten Tuesday Topic from The Broke and the Bookish:
Top Ten Books I Want To Read But Don’t Own Yet
This is a tricky one as I went on a book haul this weekend and bought a load that I’ve been wanting for ages! So I’ll see if I can get to ten that I still don’t own…
- The Unfinished Symphony of You and Me, by Lucy Robinson – This was on my Top Ten Tuesday post last week, as a book I’ve been told I HAVE to read! I didn’t manage to pick it up on my haul this weekend, so it definitely gets a place on this list!
- Fallen For Rock, by Nicky Wells – This looks really fun and I’ve spoken to Nicky a few times on twitter and she’s just lovely! I actualy have a few ‘Fallen For Rock’ guitar picks I won in a competition, so I definitely need to get the book soon!
- Bad Bridesmaid, by Portia Macintosh – this is apparently laugh-out-loud hilarious, so I can’t wait to read it! Think it’s going to be taken as a holiday read next month!
- The Unpredictable Consequences of Love, by Jill Mansell – it’s Jill Mansell. It’s a new book. I don’t have it yet. No further explanation required.
- Paper Towns, by John Green – This is another one that was on last weeks post, that I haven’t yet got! Hopefully get round to it soon!
- Seeing Other People, by Mike Gayle – This keeps catching my eye lately, so it’s definitely going on my list!
- Hopelessly Devoted To You – Jill Steeples
- Christmas at Rosie Hopkins’ Sweet Shop, by Jenny Colgan – Jenny Colgan is one of my faves and I didn’t manage to get this last Christmas, so I’ve been saving it for this Christmas (I know I’d read it straight awy if I bought it, so I’m holding off!)
- Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe, by Jenny Colgan – same story as above, but I’ve been waiting 2 years…I’m going to love this Christmas!!
- The Casual Vacancy, by J K Rowling – I’m honestly horrified at myself that I still don’t on this. Being such a massive Potterhead and JK worshipper, it’s just disgraceful. But I will. Soon!
Phew, I made it to ten! Some are oldies but they still apply!!
What about you – what books are you desperate to read but don’t own yet?
Paris Baker's Book Nook 
Seeing other people sounds fab! Great list, all look like really fun reads! my TTT

I’ve heard Casual Vacancy is terrible from multiple friends who tried to read it, BUT Cuckoo’s Calling by J. K. Rowling (under pseudonym) is absolutely amazing!!

I have heard similar things, but I still need to read it and form my own opinion, just out of loyalty to JK! I’ll definitely check out Cuckoo’s Calling though, thanks! xx

Absolutely! It was only £1.85 extra for the paperback vs kindle, so I went for paperback! I’ve got a few to read first so I’m in no rush – may take it on holiday next month 🙂 xx

Good decision – I love adding books to our shelves versus collecting them on the Kindle 🙂

Definitely! I mean, I adore my kindle for ease and mobility, and it does save a lot of money, but there’s such a different gratification of holding a physical book and seeing them collect on your shelves! xx

Absolutely. There are certain books for the shelves, and others I’m okay getting for my Kindle. Pretty covers help – dying over the Puffin books collection with Anna Bond: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0147514010/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0147514002&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=180ZQQZFS29DN8EZJDXM and the Coralie Bickford-Smith Fitzgerald series: http://cb-smith.com/#/f-scott-fitzgerald/. I want them all!

I love Jenny Colgan’s books! I haven’t read either of these, but I read Little Beach Street Bakery and Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris earlier this year. Absolutely loved them both. Humm, that’s a very good idea to get them both this Christmas, might see if I can! Hope you love all the books on your list when you get to read them 🙂

I’m taking both of those on holiday next month! I love them, and the covers are so beautiful, they make a fantastic set on the shelf 🙂 x
