I don’t have 10 unread books on the shelves, so I give you books from my wishlist instead. And let’s not mention Martin, Rothfuss & Lynch.
Flesh and Spirit / Carol Berg
I’ve wanted to read this for so long but it’s not priority. I already read another book by the author, called ‘Transformation’, which was average but had a great bromance. Although I won’t continue with that particular series, I am still interested in Berg’s other novels.
The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince / Robin Hobb
It was always so expensive in the stores. Especially for a novella. I still want to read it, because it’s the only story from the Realms of the Elderlings I haven’t read yet.
The Free / Brian Ruckley
I almost forgot that I had this on my wishlist! It’s definitely not high priority, but I’d still be interested. It’s about a group of mercenaries, so definitely something for me. If it has mercenaries or dragons in it, it gets my attention.
The Forbidden Library / Django Wexler
I love library settings, so this will be read at some point.
The Forge of Darkness / Steven Erikson
If i hadn’t decided to re-read the whole Malazan series before starting that… It will probably take a couple more years until I get to it. At last it’s already complete, so I can read them all in a row.
Every Pratchett I haven’t read yet
Like this one. But I am re-reading the whole series chronologically and it will also take years to get to them all. Doesn’t matter though – eventually I’ll catch up 😦 No new ones coming anymore..
A Fortress of Grey Ice / J. V. Jones
Second part of the Sword of Shadows series. i was stalling on this, because the author stopped writing for a couple of years and there was no news on whether the series will be continued. Now she’s back and I am rereading the first before I will get to this one.
Betrayal / Fiona McIntosh
I almost forgot about this one as well! I remember that a friend really liked them and recommended them to me. I was interested, as we mostly like the same books. I will still give it a go, but no high priority.
Stonewielder / Ian C. Esslemont
The third Malazan novel and I haven’t continued yet, because I wasn’t a big fan of the second. I heard it’s getting much better though, so I will definitely read it at some point. I want to read ALL the Malaz novels^^
Shadows Linger / Glen Cook
Shame on me, I totally forgot Glen Cook! I like the Black Company and will probably sneak it in soon.
All those books have really cool covers! My oldest books on my TBR don’t look nearly that cool 🙂

I agree! I’m especially a fan of the Jones & Esslemont cover! Will definitely get the physical versions there.

I only read a few Pratchett books, but the fifths elefant was one of it. I really liked it ❤ Reading them in chronological order is a great idea. Should do it as well, so it's not so hard to decide which one to read next. But yeah I hate Rincewind, so I'm kind of hesitant to start…

Maybe just read the ones without Rincewind as main character 😀 or maybe just give it a try – might be you like him now 😀

I’ve had a couple of these authors on my to-read list for the longest time too. For Hobb, I still need to finish her Farseer trilogy, the third book has hung around on my TBR for yeeeeaaaars….

It is shocking how expensive novella’s are in comparison to full books sometimes. I’ve seen the the piebald prince in the store too but haven’t picked it up for the same reason. Same on all Pratchett (in my case though those I don’t own yet which are many and many and many books).

I’ve never read Terry Pratchett and everyone says I should…. but I don’t know, he just never appealed to me.

I understand – sometimes it’s just not for you even if people are hype for it. I have that with a couple of books as well^^

Right? I have at least 20 unread paperbacks sitting on my shelf, and that’s not counting the hardback books, ebooks, and audiobooks I own but haven’t read yet.

Eeeh, Australia is expensive! 😀 Makes you think twice about just buying & hoarding 😀
When I was still living in Europe, my TBR was always between 30 and 50. I didn’t like that!

Well, okay. I guess cost can be prohibitive. 😉

I started reading all Pratchett in chronological order at one point, too, but gave up (because Rincewind). I might re-read the Rincewind books at some point, but I think I’m going to start my semi-chronological Pratchett reading with the first book about the witches. (Equal Rites, I think?) Or maybe I’ll do something completely different and start with the Tiffany Aching books, and then go back to the main series.

Yes, it’s ‘Equal Rites’ 🙂 well, you can just jump the ones you remember not liking xD I do that with a couple of them^^ i think I have another witch book coming up next, yay!

Yay! I have been told before that it’s a series but a loose one, so that’s good! I know I’ve liked several of them, but that Rincewind is why I haven’t started over form the beginning again.

Can you believe I haven’t read anything by Robin Hobb? I’ve love to read at least one of her books. Do you have any recommendations?

Her books are all kinda connected so i’d say read ‘assassin’s apprentice’ first 🙂

Oh gosh, Fiona McIntosh. I picked up a couple of her books on my first trip to Oz and ended up writing possibly the rantiest reviews of my life 🙂 (this was long before I had a book blog, so not saved for posterity – which is probably just as well. They were… deconstructive)

Totally relate about having every Pratchett I’ve not read on my tbr that I’ve not read- I have to say Fifth Elephant is an awesome one- so you’re sure to like it 😊
