Thank you to Nicole@BookWyrm Knits for submitting this theme. You’re a lovely person who came up with a fun idea for this week.
Honestly, I do not think my answers are going to be very impressive this week. When I was a teenager, I read dozens of classic novels and enjoyed many of them. The classics I have still not yet read are, for the most part, books that do not appeal to me for a variety of reasons and that I will probably never read.
Almost everything I read these days has been published within the last five or so years unless someone who shares my taste in book recommends something older or I happen to find an older title some other way that sounds amazing.
Most of what I read these days are ebooks from my local library and they typically buy new or new-ish titles for our community instead of older ones.
So let’s see how old the oldest books on my library TBR list might be. There are a couple of Young Adult titles I may or may not ever get around to as I don’t read much from that genre anymore, but I’m keeping them on this list to prevent any 2024 titles from sneaking up on us.
I’ll start with the most recently published of the ten and move backwards from there.
Publication Date: June 6, 2023
Genre: Young Adult
Publication Date: February 7, 2023

Genre: Paranormal Horror (See also: #2 on this list. Hehe. )
Publication Date: October 18, 2022
Genre: Fantasy, Historical Fiction
Publication Date: September 14, 2021
Genre: Young Adult (This one would be a reread. I adored the premise but was really not a fan of certain choices the author made in her characterization and plot development. Maybe I’d enjoy it better a second time around?)
Publication Date: August 29, 2019

And, no, that last book has not been on my TBR list for (nearly) 18 years. It was only recently purchased by the library just like the rest of them. Ha!
