Top Ten Tuesday 10 Year Anniversary!

For this week’s Top Ten, we are celebrating the Top Ten Tuesday 10 Year Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been TEN YEARS since this weekly meme started!

For this week, we’re supposed to either

1. pick a past TTT topic you’ve done and re-do/update it, or
2. pick a past TTT topic you wish you’d done, but didn’t get a chance to do.

I’m doing Option #1 with a twist! I’m taking the very first Top Ten Tuesday I posted on this blog, which was a TBR list, and then reflecting on whether I read the book or not, bought it, plan to read it, or have forgotten about and taken it off my TBR!

Here is my very first Top Ten Tuesday post:

Top Ten Books on Your Fall TBR List (4th September 2012)

 

1. Crewel by Gennifer Albin

I read this book in October of 2012 and I’m sorry to say that it was really bad. Just REALLY bad. Laughably, ridiculously bad.

2. Foxfire by Karen Kincy

I read Foxfire in October of 2012 and it was a good book, but not spectacular. While it was the third in a series of which the books I did not read beforehand, I did enjoy it.

3. Starters by Lissa Price

I still haven’t read this book, though I did buy it and I do still own it! I do plan on reading it one day. However I will have to keep in mind that by now it’s considered kind of old in YA!

4. Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter

I read all of the Goddess books in April 2013 and while I did enjoy the first one despite its many flaws, I did not enjoy the second one. The sequel was so vastly different from the first, with both the main character and love interest suddenly utterly changing their characters and becoming about 90% less likeable.

5. Gift by Andrea J Buchanan

I still haven’t read this, though I do own a copy.

6. Dark Kiss by Michelle Rowen

I don’t even remember why I wanted to read this in the first place, and I certainly don’t anymore. It’s not even on my radar and I completely forgot it existed!

7. Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

I haven’t read Seraphina but I do still own it and I am still excited to read it one day!

8. Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

I read this in January of 2013, and I was vastly unimpressed. It was poorly written, the characters were inconsistent with absolutely no character growth, and there is no character out there calling herself an assassin that I like less than Celeana Sardothian, who is one of the most entitled, spoilt, stupid and helpless assassins I’ve ever read about, who only won because of a deus ex machina and is generally trash.

9. Speechless by Hannah Harrington

I still have not read this book, though I do have a copy… somewhere.

10. Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett

I read this book in June of 2013 and it turned out to be one of my absolute favourite read of that year.

There you have it! Out of this Top Ten list of books I wanted to read from 2012, I actually did read and review half of them! I also own four of the others, and have completely lost interest in the last one.

Have you read any of these books and what did you think of them? Leave a comment in the box below!
