This week’s Top 10 Tuesday is all about books I had planned to read last year but didn’t end up getting round to.
Top 10 Tuesday was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish, but has now moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. If you’re interested in taking part click here.
Unravel the Dusk by Elizabeth Lim – I read Spin the Dawn last year and planned to read the sequel in 2020 as well. I will definitely be reading it this year though.
The Midnight Star by Marie Lu – I loved the first two books in this series, but for some reason haven’t read the last book yet, which I really need to rectify soon!
Blood & Honey by Shelby Mahurin – I have to say, I was kind of putting this one off since I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews. I loved Serpent & Dove and I really didn’t want to be disappointed with the sequel! But I am now reading this one at the moment and hope to finish it soon.
Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead – I started reading the Vampire Academy books a while ago and liked the first two books so I would like to continue with this series at some point.
The Deck of Omens by Christine Lynn Herman – I really need to read this book before I completely forget what happened in The Devouring Gray!
Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar – This book came in a Fairyloot box and I’d planned to read this as part of their readalong, but Illumicrate had a readalong at the same time and I couldn’t read both books.
The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna – I got this as an early finished copy in Fairyloot’s June box last year and was really excited to read it, but didn’t want to read it too early and have to wait ages for the sequel. So I planned to read it at the end of 2020 but just didn’t end up getting to it. I’ll be reading this one soon for sure!
A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab – I’ve been meaning to get into V. E. Schwab’s books for ages since there is so much love for them.
Furyborn by Claire Legrand – I bought this at YALC back in 2019 and can’t believe I still haven’t read it yet.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard – This has been sitting on my Kindle for so long! I plan to read this every year but just never end up picking it up.
What books did you mean to read last year but didn’t get to? Are you planning on reading them this year instead? Chat with me in the comments!
I have The Red Queen, too.
Star Daughter sure sounds good.
My post.
It does sound really good so I’m looking forward to it!
A Darker Shade of Magic is one of my favourite books, I hope you enjoy it! I read both of the first books of Deck of Omens and Unravel The Dusk last year, both I was kind of meh about, so I don’t know if I’ll read them or not. Red Queen I also found only okay, I ended up giving up on the series after the second book.

I enjoyed Addie LaRue so I’m hoping I’ll enjoy Schwab’s other books, though I do know they’re a bit different, they do sound like the kind of thing I would love!
The great thing about Schwab’s books is that none of them feel particularly similar to the others, so there’s something for everyone!
I’m seeing a lot of us with similar titles that we never got around to reading.
Maybe some books are the kind people buy on impulse or because they’ve been hyped, but then don’t get round to reading!
You are probably right, I know I’m guilty of doing it myself. ☺️
I liked Red Queen when I read it. I hope you do, too!
I hope so, it sounds good and I know the series was really popular when they came out!
I hope you can getto all of these this year! I really want to read The Gilded Ones soon!
My post!
Fingers crossed I will! The Gilded Ones looks so good!
Fabulous list!! I loved the Darker Shade of Magic series. I also have so many of these on my TBR!!
My Top Ten
I’m really looking forward to reading A Darker Shade of Magic!

I hope you can get to all these soon!! A Darker Shade of Magic had lots of great worldbuilding ;D
