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.
Top Ten Books That Have Been On My TBR the Longest and I Still Haven’t Read:
These books have all been sitting on my Goodreads TBR pile since the day I joined in August 2008!
As you can probably tell I've always been an eclectic reader and that I may or may not have had a wee obsession with The Phantom of The Opera due to the 2004 movie staring Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum. It's crazy to think how much more my reading tastes have changed since I was 18. Clive Cussler is still one of my favourite authors (have always loved a good adventure novel!), but am not so much feeling the Christian historical romances by Lauraine Snelling anymore. However I think it would be fun to read these just to get them off of my list, so I think that's my plan for the year. 
I enjoyed The Phantom Of The Opera but I found the musical/film much more enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteHmm Timeline, I think I saw the movie of that one but I've only read one crichton book (Jurassic Park). I should read more.
ReplyDeleteOooh Anna Karenina. I tried reading War and Peace last year and kind of failed. I think I'll have to start with something smaller of Tolstoy's rather than diving into his big work. Have been thinking about Anna Karenina instead.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not know Phantom of the Opera was a book?
Awesome list! I really need to read Catcher in the Rye myself!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my TTT !

I read The Phantom of the Opera, watched the musical several times as well as almost all the movie versions.
ReplyDeleteAnna Karenina is on my tbr for a long time, too. ☺
ReplyDeleteI haven’t read any of these. I for sure need to read catcher in the rye. I am slowly getting through classics.
ReplyDeleteCatcher in the Rye is one that I've always said "I should read that one day..." but have yet to do so. But, I've never officially added it to my TBR either, so I must not be too interested. I always consider it, however, in September when I'm selecting a book to read for Banned Books Week. Maybe one day.

I haven't read any of these, but I'd like to read Brisingr and the previous two books in that series. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteAnna Karenina is so long but SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI have oodles of book 3 in YA trilogies series that I will probably never read. I have the Jim Butcher Dresden Files and so need to read them!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many books I need to read! Catcher in the Rye is one that calls me as is the series by Paolina. For some reason I've never actually considered reading the Phantom of the Opera. I think my head doesn't realize it's an actually a book!
ReplyDeleteLittle bit of everything :)
ReplyDeleteI can`t say that I loved "The Catcher in the Rye" as much as anyone else, I found Holden a bit of a prick. I was thinking about rereading it, but I`m afraid I`ll like it even less, now that I`m older.

Isn't it funny to see those books that were on TBR from years ago? The change in reading tastes is interesting. I think mine is pretty much full of PNR or UF with some mysteries and thrillers thrown in. I wish I could get to them all!

I haven't read any of these either though this is such a nice list. A few of these books are also on my TBR.. but let's see when I get them :P I do hope you get time to read some of these soon :)

I know what you mean about your reading tastes changing. There are a bunch of things that have been on my TBR an extremely long time and they are no longer the types of things I like to read. Ah well! And The Phantom of the Opera is on my list this week as well!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've forgotten there was a Phantom of the Opera movie. I watched its Broadway production long ago with my mum and fell in love with it! I used to know the opening number, piano piece by heart.
ReplyDeleteI've had Phantom of the Opera on my to-read list for ages! I suppose I'll get around to it eventually...
ReplyDeleteOh hey fellow person who hasn't finished Christopher Paolini's Inheritance cycle! I have yet to read the final book!
ReplyDeleteGood choices, feel free to check out my TTT list :)
A Promise for Ellie looks nice. Amazing what you can find on the tbr pile.
