The shelf total currently stands at 14 books:
- Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman: I have owned this book for years and I actually read back when I first bought it. I remember loving it, but then I got sucked into The Hunger Games and never continued the series.
- Generation Dead by Daniel Waters: Another book I've owned for years. I started reading it a while a go and got about 100 pages in, but something made me put it down. I don't know if I will get all the way through it, but I think it deserves a second chance before it gets carted to the charity shop.
- The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz: Yet another book i've owned for years, this one was acually my brothers. He never read it and it got moved onto my shelf when he left for university and was going to be gotten rid of, however my love for Sherlock Holmes has bloomed over the past 6 months or so, and it was that that saved this from the charity shop.
- Morrissey: Autobiography: This was a Christmas present and something I actually asked for, I just haven't found a long enough period of time when I was in the right mood to read this one. However, I plan to take it on holiday with me this summer.
- The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul by Deboroah Rodriguez: This one was given to me by my mum who loved it, so I'm sure I'll get around to reading it eventually
- Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway: I am so so so excited about reading this book. I really cannot wait, however it is pretty heavy and way to big to carry to school with me everyday, so it may have to wait until the summer
- Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo: The first in a series I have heard nothing but good things about. Once I finish the series I'm currently halfway through, this will be top of the pile
- Wonder by R.J. Palacio: another recommendation from my mum, I'm sure this will be fantastic, and I have a feeling that once City of Heavenly Fire is over, I'll be reading a lot more contemporary
- How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr: a wonderful charity shop find costing me only 75p and it's in perfect condition!
- Here's Looking at You by Mhairi McFarlane: This book has been on my radar for months, and when I saw it in Oxfam for 65p, I couldn't say no
- The Millennium Trilogy (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest) by Steig Larsson: my most exciting charity shop find, I got the whole trilogy in perfect condition for £2.75. How could anyone resist?
- Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor: The next book I plan to read after I finish Shades of Earth by Beth Revis. The moment I finished Dreams of Blood and Starlight I ordered this and it is so beautiful (seriously, the UK covers are amazing!) and I cannot wait to see how this series ends!
So that is my current TBR shelf, however there are a few books coming out this month I plan to buy so no doubt it will continue to grow! (although City of Heavenly Fire won't even touch the shelf. It will come straight through the door into my eager hands to be read right away!)
