I really don’t know why I never reviewed these books listed in today’s post. And I think I need to, soon, which would necessitate another read. And frankly, I know I won’t mind that as well!
Having said that, there are tons of books that I know I would love to share with you; all those (definitely hundreds of, at the least) books I read before I started reviewing books on my blog; and all those other hundreds that I never got around to reviewing here simply because. Hopefully I can list them all out in one place and then check them off slowly over time.
Here are a few such books….While some of these have appeared numerous times on my blog with a comment or two about the book, I have not really “reviewed” the book itself anytime. Maybe I should just put all those various comments together now 🙂
Or maybe those comments (most copied over to this post) are review enough? What do you think?

A book that awed me, wowed me, vowed me (made me vow that I would grow up to be someone like this wonderful teacher), bombarded me with emotions. But I have never reviewed it here on my blog.

Was amazed how Vikram Seth managed to write a book of this size and not lose the multiple story lines of the characters as well as the Suitable Boy’s story.. If time permits would definitely sit down to read this again.

Alistair McLean was one of my favorite authors of his genre and I remember reading his books – I was the only girl in my class reading McLean while others were reading Mills and Boons! The movie was as exciting as the book.

Wow! This book, when I read as a kid, made me smile, cry, and angry based on what little Suok was doing. Now need to read it as an adult to see the deeper meaning in this book.
Would You Rather
Today’s WYR
Would you rather lose the ability to read any new books, or the ability to reread books you’ve already read?
While I do love rereading my favorites, I know I would prefer to have the ability to read new books over the ability to reread books.
And Now, the End of This Post
Dear reader, have you read any of these books? Your thoughts on them? Do you have any favorite books that you somehow have missed reviewing (if you review books) or sharing (with others)?
A Suitable Boy sounds like a good read for sure!
My TTT .
I agree, you need to re-read and review these so I can be eaten up with jealousy that you did 😉
The Lightning Thief is one I really enjoyed!
I actually have only read The Fault in Our Stars! I liked it a lot.
I loved To Kill a Mockingbird. Great story.
I’ve not read any of those books. I have a list of books that I read years ago but never reviewed. I keep on thinking I should but I have too many books to get through.
Lovely post
What a grand idea! I actually created a spreadsheet to note what still needs to be reviewed. My list is a lot longer than yours!
