Top Ten Tuesday: 10 books I planned to read in 2024 but didn’t get to

/ Lisa R. Howeler

|| Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. ||

Today’s prompt is: 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To (will you be prioritizing these this year?)

I don’t really pay attention to new releases very well because I read all over the place and most of my reads are “old” — such as released many years ago.

I hope it is okay then today to share ten books I wanted to get to last year (that was on my planned reads list) but didn’t get to. Would I like to get to these books this year? Some, yes, and some I have lost interest in.

  1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet (I do plan to read this one at some point, hopefully this year)

2. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (I’m part of the way done with this)

3. House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz (I really enjoyed Moriarty by Horowitz and would like to read this Sherlock Holmes book too)

4. Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor (this would be re-read but I haven’t read it since sixth grade)

5. Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie (still plan to read)

6. A Fatal Footnote by Margaret Loudon (still hope to read)

7. Ever Faithful by Karen Barnett (I started this one and couldn’t really get into it so I don’t know if I plan to read it or not this year)

8. Dandelion Cottage by Carol Watson Rankin (I do still plan to read this one)

9. Jayne Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (I don’t know if I will read this this year or not. Maybe)

10. The Bobbsey Twins on Blueberry Island (I do plan to read this one this year)

Are there books you missed reading last year that you still plan to read this year?

  1. The only book I plan to read in 2024 is Emma by Jane Austen, otherwise I shall read at whim.

    I have read The Count of Monte Cristo (I recommend being in a mood for 19th-century prose), The Screwtape Letters (much shorter, very Christian worldview), and Jane Eyre (a female coming of age story and a long-time favorite of mine, also recommend being in a mood for 19th century prose).

    Happy reading

  2. I have quite a few on my shelf, but I haven’t been able to get to. I hope to read them this year, but I’ve started off the year with more boats than I can read. I hope you’re able to get to all of these this year.

  3. There are so many books I intended to read last year and didn’t get to, Lisa, including the last 4 books in Elly Griffiths’ Dr Ruth Galloway series. I am determined to finish those this year.💖📚

  4. I don’t think I have read any of these; I am sure there are books that came out last year that I wanted to read and didn’t get around to but since I don’t actually keep a physical list anywhere I won’t remember which ones I forgot!

  5. I don’t think I will ever read Jane Eyre again! When I was in labor for my second child, I was trying to read that book (and I really did love it). All I read for several hours was the opening sentence…over and over again! I loved the Bobbsey Twins and haven’t seen one of those books in years! I don’t really know if there are any books I missed reading last year other than Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series. I’m reading those as I can get them so I’m reading them all out of order!

  6. Jane Eyre is my favourite novel, I collect copies of it lol. I try and read it every year but don’t always get there. I hope you enjoy it if you read it. I’ve considered reading The Count of Monte Cristo in the past but have never actually gotten around to it, I hope you enjoy it.
