The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. This week’s topic is: books I keep meaning to read but haven’t.
I’m going to alter this a bit to books I should finish but haven’t. I’m really bad about starting a book and then putting it aside for something else. So, here is a list of things that have been languishing on my currently reading list for some time now.
Promise of the Witch King by R. A. Salvatore: I started this book, took it upstairs, and… forgot about it. Since I don’t generally read in bed, it sits there, waiting.
And I Darken by Kiersten White: Not sure why I even stopped reading this as I was completely immersed in it.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss: I’m actually back to listening to this in audio, so that’s something, I guess.
Dog Eat Dog Bundle by Hailey Edwards: I know I stopped reading this because it’s something like 5 novels and several short stories all wrapped into one e-book and I wanted to break it up and not read them all at once. Then, I think I forgot I even had it. Oops?
There are more but I’ll spare you the drama. What are the books you’ve been putting off reading?

Nice list! I love your reasons too. 🙂 I do that sometimes. Set a book down, and for some mysterious reason never get around to finishing it up.

Thanks! It’s usually because I picked up a review book or Netgalley granted my request to read something four months after I requested it. LOL

Interesting LIst – i do that too, put a book down and forget to go back to it.. Then I’ll pick up a book previously put down and finish it wondering why I quit reading. Sometimes, I think its the mood you are in. Don’t you? Thanks for sharing.

Fantasy novels can be like that! I hope you do go back because I’ve been enjoying it.

A fun take on the topic, Aymee. It’s pretty rare for me to start a book and not finish, unless I truly don’t like it. I recently gave up on The Men Who Stare at Goats… funny movie, but the book left me cold.

Thanks! Bummer that the book didn’t do anything for you though. I rarely DNF a book, but sometimes I forget that I’ve started them. 🙂

I haven’t read a Salvatore book ion ages. And Kiersten white is an author I want to try at some point.

I haven’t either and I used to love his books. I need to finish this one so I can get back at them! This series by Kiersten White is really good, but I have a weird fascination with Vlad Tepes, so take it for what it’s worth. LOL
