I just adored Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series! I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of Etiquette & Espionage! I counted down the days until it's release. Sadly, I still have yet to pick this beauty up! I need to make this book priority ASAP!!!

I loved Dearly, Departed! I greedily gobbled it up and anxiously awaited the release of Dearly, Beloved. I went to two different bookstores until I finally found it, and it has been on my shelves ever since.

I couldn't put down The Pledge! I just adored the world building and story arc. It seemed to take forever for The Essence to be released. I even pre-ordered it! Sadly, this too has been cast into the TBR pile.
The Opposite of Hallelujah

Jarzab's All Unquiet Things came highly recommended by another blogger via Goodreads. I still think of that books from time to time. So when I saw that The Opposite of Hallelujah was to be published, I could hardly wait! I didn't even need to read the summery to know it would be good! Alas, it too has sat on the TBR pile for far too long!

Seraphina has received many stellar reviews across the book blogging universe. The premise sounds excellent! I bought this book and it has been collecting dust ever since. One of my goals for 2013 is to polish this baby off! The next book in the series is to be published in February of 2014, so at the very least, I need to read Seraphina before then!
Insurgent

Divergent was an amazing read! I could barely contain my excitement for the release of Insurgent. However, it's release came and went, and the poor book still is sitting on my shelf. I've been meaning to pick it up, but the mood hasn't struck yet. Hopefully soon...

I'm not sure why I haven't picked this up yet. I certainly enjoyed reading fellow blogger's reviews. The sequel comes out this August, so I plan to read it between now and then!
Shattered Souls

I remember anxiously awaiting the release of Shattered Souls. I finally picked up a copy on a road trip. I couldn't wait to pick it up, but my trip was busier than expected. Then, I just kept putting it off. I still want to read it. However, the sequel wont be released until 2014, so I have a bit of time yet.
Paper Valentine
by Brenna Yovanoff

I have fallen in love with Yovanoff's writing through her other books; The Space Between and The Replacement. She has a dark, bold style that I enjoy very much. I pre-ordered Paper Valentine and it still sits in my TBR shelf on my Nook. I plan to read this very, very soon!
Scarlet

I certainly enjoyed Cinder, though perhaps not as much as others. I had still been looking forward to the release of Scarlet. I even started to read it the other day, then stopped because I felt guilty for not reading more of my ARC's from publishers. I will get to Scarlet soon!
So dear readers, what books have you purchased only to have left them sitting on your shelves?
I've got Scarlet on my list too! Although... I just bought that recently ;) Happy reading! :D
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top 10
Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThrone of Glass and Seraphina were both really good!! I've still got Insurgent and Shattered Souls on my shelf as well, it's kind of shameful that I could list more than ten books if I needed to -_- lol.

Thanks for the follow! I could have easily added more books as well! ;)
DeleteI have Cinder and Divergent! :) I've had Cinder for like ever too. Shame on me.
ReplyDeleteMe too Juju, me too.
DeleteOooo Lola you have some great ones sitting on your shelf! I don't have much room to talk though, as Insurgent is still sitting on my shelf as well. I rationalize that fact by telling myself I'm waiting until it's closer to the release date of book 3 before I dive in ;-) I hope you get to Scarlet soon, I absolutely adored that book!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I know, isn't it awful?! I really need to read Scarlet soon! :)
DeleteLola OMG Read Seraphina, Scarlet, Insurgent ...Those I would read first..Those are amazing books and scarlet was better than cinder. Seraphina has dragons
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I know! It's awful, isn't it?! I plan on reading Seraphina and Scarlet very, very soon!
DeleteEtiquette made me want to check out more of Gail Carringer! I wasn't the biggest fan of Cinder but I really enjoyed Scarlet. :D
ReplyDeleteThat is good to know! I have high hopes for Scarlet! I plan on reading E&E next! :)
DeleteSeveral of these are on my list as well. I really loved SCARLET, so I'd totally recommend reading that one soon. It's as good -- maybe even better -- than CINDER.
ReplyDeleteThat is good to know! Thanks! :)
DeleteI really love Yovanoff's writing too. I just got to Paper Valentine, maybe a month ago, it was pretty great.
ReplyDeleteYovanoff is an amazing writer. She's a bit under appreciated, I think. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOur lists could be twins!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I'll check it out now!
DeleteScarlet and Insurgent are amazing, get to them soon! And I need to get to Seraphina soon as well.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Thanks! I will definitely make a better effort to do so!
DeleteI need to read Throne of Glass and Seraphina too! :-) One was a present and one a giveaway win, so I haven't counted them on my list, but they have been sat there for a while now...
ReplyDeleteHopefully we both get to them soon!
DeleteI saw Opposite of Hallelijah today at B&N and thought about it. But I'm trying not to buy hardbacks so I'll have to wait on it :( Paper Valentine looks good too!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI actually haven't read Divergent though I've had the book for so long now. You have to read Scarlet, I know you'll love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! :)
DeleteYou're making me look bad :P Most of your books on your list only came out within the last twelve months.... Mine I've had for so long they literally are collecting dust...
ReplyDeleteI loved Throne of Glass, Scarlet and Insurgent. I've heard nothing but good things about Seraphina (it's on my to-buy list!) and as a Gail Carriger fan I can't wait to read E&E.
Hope you have a fantastic week!
Hahaha! I doubt that! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI bought Dearly, Beloved right after I finished the first like several months ago..and yep still on my shelf!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love your list. So many great books on it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nina!
DeleteThe only one of these that I have still sitting on my shelf, waiting to be read is Throne of Glass, but I borrowed it from a friend. But I do have over 100 books on my shelf that I have yet to read! It's like a sickness, really. Have to buy and buy and then I'm such a slow reader that they just add up. Hope you get to all of these soon!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Thanks! I have the same illness myself! :P
