It has been a while since I participated in T5W, but this round caught my interest. I scoured my bookshelves and was very honest with myself about which books I would move to the very bottom of my TBR pile. True to me, I did not follow the actual prompt which was “Books You’ve Removed From Your TBR”. I do not care about books I removed from my TBR pile because I buried them in my mind ages ago.
The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan
I made this book number 5 because I am likely to read it at some tome topple.It isn’t that I am uninterested in it, I just look at it and for some reason find it daunting. Perhaps it is the size or my uncertainty of how good it will be, I am unsure but it may travel up on my TBR pile.
The Lovers by Rod Nordland
I bought this book a long time ago on Amazon and I don’t know why. I am going to sound like a book buying addict, mostly because I am but that is neither here nor there, but I honestly have no issues with giving away or selling a book that no longer interests me. However, I genuinely want to read this book, I am just worried I will not like it so I don’t pick it up.
The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
I took this book from my uncle in New Jersey four years ago because I needed something to read on the plane. I made the mistake of forgetting Khaleid Hosseini’s An The Mountains Echoed would be released the same day we were traveling back. At the airport, there was a bookstore and guess what book I found! So, this book stayed in my bag and I read And The Mountains Echoed instead. Do not ask me why I still have not read it because that is all the story I have prepared.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
I bought this book at Barnes & Noble when I told myself I would do my best to read more classics. Everyday, I look at it and it looks at me…as I choose another book to read. I don’t know what the book is about (it was $5 don’t act like you don’t do it!) but I do know it is something I have to be in a specific mood to read, when I find out what mood that is I will let you know!
When Everything Changed by Gail COllins
My mom bought this book and gave it to me to read it. I do not like or prefer nonfiction reads and I can not sell it or give it away because my mom was doing a nice thing. Sue me!
Which books are you either removing from your TBR or pushing to the end of your TBR and why?
Ciao Book Monsters!
I haven’t read any of these, else would’ve helped you decide if any were worth moving back up the chain!

A lot of my finished series get moved to the bottom of the pile because I want to get through my single releases first. I am trying to go through 1 series per month though. This month is An Ember in the Ashes (I know it isn’t a finished series per se but I am so far behind I need to get caught up!)

Lol trust me I totally understand. I have an unfinished series I was trying to read one every month but I have so many others I want to read as well!

I’d have to really think about this. As the list keeps getting larger and larger.

My TBR is currently running wild and free. It does need reviewing.

It’s ok to not want to read certain books after getting them – maybe one day you will be interested!

I haven’t read any of these but a story about Afghanistan’s Romeo and Juliet has me intrigued 🙂 Also, I have heard so many things about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn but have to admit I still don’t really know what it’s about.
