Let’s face it, this was depressingly hard to narrow down. I have over 400 books on my TBR and a lot of them have been on their for years. I am the victim of what I call “new shiny” where I know I have all these books but I get a new one and it is shiny and pretty and needs to be read. How I narrowed this one down? Books I actually own that have been sitting on my TBR the longest. Truth: I now feel like a failure after narrowing this one down.
What books have been on your TBR the longest making you feel like a failure?

I fall victim to the new and shiny too. It’s really sad when I buy a new and shiny and then immediately add it to my tbr, where I know it will gather dust long before I can get to it…
You need to read The Boyfriend List! The whole series (4 books, I think) is SO great and hilarious and actually insightful into anxiety issues in a really helpful way. I named my dog after the main character soooo I clearly love it.
Totally recommend THIS LULLABY, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and AMELIA ANNE IS DEAD AND GONE. I still need to read some that you’ve featured on the list, too. Great list and happy reading!
A 400 book TBR is slightly overwhelming. Don’t think of it as your TBR. Think about it as books that just don’t call your name loud enough.
You can see my list here: https://runwright.net/2016/08/23/11364/
Some of the books on my list have been on it since childhood too.
Gail *forced* (okay, gently persuaded) me to purchase Willow not too long ago, so it’s on my shelf too. I’ll get to it… someday. The new and shiny are hard to compete with!
OOh nice! The only one here that I (willingly) read was This Lullaby and that was sooooo many years ago! We’re talking way before blogging and before I gave up contemporaries! Sarah Dessen was a favorite though from what I can vaguely recall. Though I can’t really remember this one now…lol! Though I know from the handful of her books I read wayyyy back then, I enjoyed them all! Hope you get around to these soon and enjoy them all!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

I’ve not read a single novel by Sarah Dessen, but would like too especially since friends have recommended her books. 🙂
Nice list of books!! To Kill A Mockingbird is an awesome novel.
Here’s a link to my TTT post this week:http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2016/08/top-ten-tuesday-ten-books-that-have.html
Please, please, please read To Kill A Mockingbird! It’s one of my favourite books of all time! And then ignore Go Set A Watchman… Lol R xx

Definitely read This Lullaby! It’s been a long time since I read it myself (since it was in my pre-blogging days), but I do recall loving it.
