Top Ten Tuesday is an original and weekly meme created by The Broke And The Bookish in 2010 but has since moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in 2018.
Topic: Books That Have Been on my TBR The Longest
Going off my TBR list on Goodreads and seeing what I added first it’s mainly the classics. They were the first books I could think of to add when I first joined. On top of that, I have always wanted to read these books but never got around to it. Now I may not actually get to them because the classics have a habit of being a huge disappointment, but I still might one day. Either I heard a lot about them through pop culture that I felt I didn’t need to read them, or just that they are going to be very Literary and I keep postponing it. My excuse for the non-classics I cannot say.
