Each week, The Broke and Bookish host a Top Ten Tuesday based on a certain bookish topic. Other bloggers are able to participate and post their own top ten list based on the topic.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Top Ten Tuesday REWIND where I can pick any topic I missed or want to revisit. I decided to pick Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read because I missed doing this topic.
So here’s my list in no particular order:
1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I’ve watched the movie, but I’ve never read the actual book. ):
2. Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this series, but I haven’t started it yet. Hopefully I can get to this series this year.
3. The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rachel Carson
I’ve heard so many mixed things about this series. I think I should give it a try.
4. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
Usually, young adult historic fiction books are not really my thing, but I bought Grave Mercy awhile ago, so I might as well read this.
5. Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
I’ve heard from so many people that Falling Kingdoms is a fantastic fantasy book. I can’t wait to read it myself.
6. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
There is so much hype surrounding this book. I hopefully will be able to get to this book this month.
7. Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning
I’ve heard so many amazing things about Karen Marie Moning’s books. I can’t wait to see why her books are so awesome for myself.
8. Storm by Brigid Kemmerer
I’ve also heard a lot of good things about Storm, mainly the hot guys. Hopefully I can find some time to squeeze this book into my schedule.
9. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
With Clockwork Princess available last month, I think it’s about time I try to read this series.
10. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
Richelle Mead and her books are famous, especially the Vampire Academy series. It’s time I finally read this series and see why everyone loves it, especially with the movie coming out.
And now, I want to know, what are your top ten books you can’t believe that you’ve never read before?
I haven’t read Pride and Prejudice either and have gotten so many nasty looks for it. Maybe this year I will tack it on to my Classics Resolution.

Thank goodness I have gotten no nasty looks for it! (The only reason why though is because none of my real life friends likes reading in any shape or form.)
Hopefully this year we will both finally read it! :D
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
Great list! I haven’t read Clockwork Prince yet and I really want to read this whole series. The Vampire Academy is a very good book and you really shouldn’t miss it.
Thanks for sharing (:

One of my book friends is STRONGLY urging me to read Clockwork Angel. -feeling the pressure-
I REALLY want to read the Vampire Academy series, but I just don’t have the time. (Bad excuse, I know, but it’s true! My TBR pile is at least 50 books long.)
Thanks for stopping by Sapir! :D

D: You haven’t read Pride and Prejudice. I demand you hand in your Bookworms Anonymous membership card. Haha, jk, but seriously, you need to read it. It’s wonderful!
Debby (Snuggly Oranges) recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday #12: Top Ten Favorite Book Blogs/Bloggers
Yeah, I haven’t read it. D:
I promised myself that I would read the book, then watch the movie, but I broke my own promise. -slaps self-
The worse thing is that I actually bought the book. When I buy books, I never actually get to reading them because I have to read my library books first, so my bought books automatically gets put on the bottom of my TBR list. ):
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
I’ve only actually read one book off this list, which was Clockwork Angel. I adored that book, it’s great. I am planning on reading Falling Kingdoms and Poison Study very soon, and reading Pride and Prejudice is one of my reading goals for 2013, so I’ll get to it at some point this year, haha! Great list!
Hollie @ Music, Books and Tea recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday Rewind: Fictional BFFs
Thanks Hollie! :D
Oh no, I feel more pressure on reading Clockwork Angel now. Everyone has read it and loves it and I’m all alone, thinking what’s wrong with me?! ):
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
We have quite a few similar ‘I can’t believe I never read those…’, Grave Mercy, Poison Study, Storm, Clockwork Angel AND VA. I own copies of those ones though and I’m hoping to get into them soon (yeah right) *sigh*
Girl of Fire & Thorns & Falling Kingdoms are on the wishlist too though >.<
Oh and I actually have read the Fever series and I highly recommend it!! The first few books didn't completely blow me away but the series only gets more awesome from there :D I hope you get to read ALL of these soon!! Thanks for sharing ♥
Micheline @ Lunar Rainbows recently posted…ARC Review: Fyre by Angie Sage
I bought Grave Mercy, the entire TID series, and the first three books in the VA series too, but I can never get to read it since there are just so many books in my TBR pile. I share your pain Micheline! ):
I’m reading Darkfever right now, and it’s so good! Hopefully the rest of the book will remain the same. ;D
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
I’ve never read Pride and Prejudice either, but I’ve heard so many great things about it (and I recently just watched the modernized version, The Lizzie Bennett Diaries)! :) I chose Top Ten Favorite Quotes from Books: http://aliceinreaderland.com/2013/04/15/quotes/

I love The Lizzie Bennett Diaries! I cry a little on the inside now since my Mondays and Thursdays is a lot more gloomy without them now. ):
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
I haven’t read The Girl of Fire and Thorns either, although I have been meaning to for AGES. I read Falling Kingdoms, and seriously didn’t enjoy it. I think I only gave it one star because oh my god, it frustrated me. Storm, however, is BRILLIANT. The Merricks are the best. AND YOU HAVEN’T READ VA?!??!?! Get on that!
Amber (Books of Amber) recently posted…Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford
You didn’t like Falling Kingdoms? -looks at the book suspiciously- In all honestly, the only reason I want to read that is because the cover of the sequel looks amazing LOL.
I really need to read Storm soon, everyone is gushing about it.
I wanted to read the VA series, but…(okay, I don’t have an excuse.) D:
Anyways, thanks for stopping by Amber! (:
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
I have also never read the Vampire Academy series either. I tried reading the first one and stopped for no plain reason. Is it sad that about half of those books you haven’t read are some of my favorite?
You also aren’t really missing out on Storm. I read it thinking it was going to be great and in the end it wasn’t really.

I heard that the VA series gets better with every book. Hopefully that’s true.
And oh, you didn’t like Storm? May I ask why? o:
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
HA! I have yet to read a single Austen novel. I’ve been thinking about picking up a book someday, but…eh. Millions of fans can’t be wrong, right?
Okay, drop whatever you’re reading and grab a copy of Storm. Trust me. It’s that good. I wasn’t even planning on reading it, but randomly decided to borrow a copy from work one day and FELL. IN. LOVE.
Leah @ The Pretty Good Gatsby recently posted…Bugs & bugs & bugs, oh my! Infestation by Timothy J. Bradley
Yep, millions of fans definitely can’t be wrong! I hope.
I have a copy of Storm with me, but there are just so many other books I have to read first like Nameless, Clockwork Angel, and Poison Study. >___< Thanks for stopping by Leah! (: Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
Speaking of Jane Austen, I really need to read Persuasion, because several of my friends have told me it’s better than Pride and Prejudice. I also really need to read Falling Kingdoms, because it sounds like something that would be up my alley. And, finally, I need to finish reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, because I started it and I might as well finish it.
Stephanie Allen recently posted…N: Nostalgia
All my friends boast about Pride and Prejudice, but I’ve never heard of them saying that they loved Persuasion too. Hmm, guess I need to read both then!
Thanks for stopping by my TTT Stephanie! (:
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
You have to read (and in this order according to what I have read.);
Clockwork Angel
Storm
Grave Mercy
The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Immortal Beloved
Falling Kingdoms
Because they are good books. Like really good. I enjoyed them A LOT especially Clockwork Angel and Storm (you my dear are an elemental virgin :O )
I just think you should read them after you finish DarkFever. I hope you enjoy them all. Happy Reading.
I’m planning on reading Clockwork Angel right after Darkfever so you’ll be happy Mariam. ;D
And where did you get the term “elemental virgin”? Is it in the book or something?
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read
No. It’s the term Brigid Kemmrer uses and some bloggers. There’s a readalong and a giveaway. Someone who hasn’t read about the Merricks, cause the series is called The Elementals.
THANKS!!!!!!!!! I hope you like it!!!!!
This is the link for the read along/giveaway.

If you’re interested.
I can’t believe I’ve never read Clockwork Angel either! I’m almost done with the Vampire Academy series right now…only two books to go! I forced myself through Pride and Prejudice a few years ago and have no real memory of it.
Other than that, I haven’t really heard of any of these but The Girl of Fire and Thorns, which I’ve been seeing EVERYWHERE so it’s got to be good, right? : )
Justine @ Paperback Heart recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Rewind!
Ohh, is the VA series good?
And yeah, if I see a book EVERYWHERE, I have to think it’s good. -crosses fingers-
Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: The Collector – Victoria Scott
I’ve never read ANY of those. Though I have seen them around and I’ve been interested in some of these, I just never felt compelled enough to actually go get them and read them… There are so many books that I want to read and can’t believe I’ve never actually read them, so I can’t even choose! lol
Nancy @ Tumbling Books recently posted…Review: Sweethearts
Yeah, I’m with you Nancy, there are just so many books out there that I want to read that my brain will explode just looking at them all because I can’t decide which ones to read! ):
Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: The Collector – Victoria Scott
I can’t believe I’ve never read Girl of Fire and Thorns either! It’s been sitting on my shelf for months D: However I’m reading Clockwork Angel now *happy dance* and it is excellent, highly recommended to try at some point ;-)
Anya recently posted…Why Does Google Hate Me?
I’m going to try Clockwork Angel because a friend is STRONGLY bugging me to read it.
And yeah, I can’t believe I’ve never tried Girl of Fire and Thorns ever, especially with the hype!
Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: The Collector – Victoria Scott
Out of your list, I’ve read: The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rachel Carson, Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes, and Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder. All of which where well worth it! Great topic! :)
Lola @ Reading by Lamplight recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: REWIND…It’s all about fun!
I can’t wait to read them all and compare our opinions! :D
Thanks for stopping by my TTT! (:
Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: The Collector – Victoria Scott
VAMPIRE ACADEMY YESSSSSS you should definitely read it. I didn’t read it until this year and I’m kind of obsessed. Okay, skip the ‘kind of’. I’m definitely obsessed. It’s so good. I also just started Clockwork Angel and I’m really liking it. I think I like it even better than TMI, which is just what everyone says. So yes. Read that one too. :)
Judith recently posted…Review: Also Known As
I’ve been meaning to read Vampire Academy for the LONGEST time, and I just don’t know why I don’t.
I just finished reading Clockwork Angel and I have some mixed feelings about it. It is better than TMI though, but not really a lot better. I’ll be explaining why I had mixed feelings about it a lot better in my review.
