Top Ten Tuesday #12
Books I Still Need to Read by Some of My Favorite Authors
This week’s prompt is a freebie. Last Tuesday while I was commenting on other blogs, Nicole (Bookwyrm Knits) decided to go with a throwback prompt rather than the one regarding classics (I don’t blame her at all, ha ha). I loved the prompt she chose so much that I’ve decided to do it as my freebie this week. Without further ado, here are my top ten books I still need to read by some of my favorite authors:
Some of these books have been on my TBR for so long. I mostly haven’t read them because I’m a slow reader and I haven’t had a chance to read them yet with all the other books vying for my attention.
What about you? Which books by your favorite authors have you not read yet? Do we have any in common?
Scarlet! Oh, goodness, you need to drop everything else and start there. It’s amazing. Who knew Red Riding Hood could get such a wonderful makeover?
I’ve heard as much, lol. I really want to read it and the rest of the series. I hope to soon. I just have so many other obligations right now.
I hope you enjoy all of these books!

Thanks, Lydia! I hope so too! 🙂
Several of these books/authors are on my “must read someday” list. There are just too many books and not enough reading time 😉
I know, right?! I wish I could just read all day everyday. Although, knowing myself and my depression, I couldn’t do that. I’ll have to be content with reading in my downtime. 🙂
I’m afraid I was disappointed by The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes. I read it in class (which probably didn’t help) and I got very bored and it just felt like trying to profit off the success of The Hunger Games. Not one for me, but I hope you enjoy it more than I did!
Happy TTT!

I’ve heard mixed reviews from others. I’m not sure which camp I’ll fall under, but I want to give it a go. A couple of my good friends read it and really liked it. Hopefully, I’ll be more like them. 🙂
I’m glad you found this throwback topic interesting! You have some great sounding books on here—the only one I’ve read is The Starless Sea, and I really liked it. I hope you enjoy these books when you read them!
I did a tag post this week
Yes, thank you! I really appreciate the idea. 🙂 I’m very excited to read The Starless Sea. I loved The Night Circus a lot.
I love Scarlet and There’s Someone Inside Your House. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was weak compared to the rest of the series, I don’t regret reading it but it didn’t live up to the rest.

I’ve heard that The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes isn’t as good as the rest of the series, but I’ve also heard that it’s interesting and good to read. I hope that I’ll appreciate it. 😀
This is indeed a fun topic! There’s Someone Inside Your House is still on my TBR too! I read and really loved Scarlet, Lady Midnight and Crown of Midnight.
Thanks! 😀 I’m very excited to read these. Hopefully sooner rather than later, lol.
I saw this prompt on Nicole’s list last week, too. It’s a great one! I’ll have to keep it in mind for my next freebie. It’s always interesting to look at which books by favorite authors we haven’t read yet and why.
Happy TTT!

Sounds great! Hopefully, I can read them all sooner rather than later. 😀
I need to re-read The Hunger Games so I can read Ballad of Song Brid and Snake.
My post: https://tellmeayarnblg.wordpress.com/2022/04/05/standalone-books-that-need-a-sequal-ttt-11/
Yes, I’d like to reread the series as well. I’ll probably read Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes before I reread the series since it’s a prequel.
What a great topic. I think I’ll use this topic next time I can’t think of what to do for a top ten. I hope you love all these books when you can get to them!
Thank you! 🙂 I hope I enjoy them as well. I look forward to seeing which books you choose when you do this topic.
I hope you love all of these when you get to them!
Thanks! Me too! 🙂
I pretty much hated Songbirds and Snakes. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t read it. Here is what I said in my review after I finished it. Keep in mind I was reading this during the beginning and the very hardest part of the pandemic. Perhaps my moods were tainted. https://headfullofbooks.blogspot.com/2020/07/review-and-quotes-ballad-of-songbirds.html
Thanks for sharing your review with me. I know a lot of people didn’t/don’t like Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. A couple of my really good friends really liked it and I have similar reading tastes to them, so I’m hoping I’ll enjoy it. 🙂
Love this prompt for the freebie week! I know The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a polarising one but I thought it was really good–I hope you enjoy it when you do read it!
It is very polarizing. I had no idea how much it was, lol, until this post. 😀 I hope I enjoy it too. I’m glad you did.
I enjoyed My Plain Jane and Scarlet! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.. Thank you!
I’m glad you did. I’m very excited to read them both. 🙂 I loved the first books in both series.
Yep, I totally could have made a list like this too…so many books, not enough time!
Right?! A reader’s biggest dilemma.
