So, last night I was sat all curled up with Luna, jotting down blog ideas when this post came to me: Top 5 Books I Haven't Finished Yet. And so I scanned my bookshelf looking for books to feature when I realised that I had a vast majority to choose from. I am (shamefully) one of those people who will start reading something and then abandon it mid-way through to move on to bigger and better things books. So who knows, there may be a Part Two of this post coming soon, but for now here are the books I really need to pick up again.
The Fellowship Of The Ring by JRR Tolkien.
I am approx. 100 pages into this book and they haven't left The Shire yet. It's just so long. And whilst I adore reading all of the little details that weren't featured in the films, they're mixed up with a bunch of mundane situations that are explained in a bit too much detail. I really, really want to get through this soon though, as I've heard the next two books are a million times better!
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.
This book was the main focus of my very first post here on What Lauren Did Today, but I haven't reached for it since. I don't even know why. Cassie Clare is one of my favourite writers and her writing really does suck me in, I just have no urge to pick this up! I think the brother-sister story line is my biggest problem with this book, as I adore romance and it's certainly lacking in what I've read so far.
A Game Of Thrones by George RR Martin.
I have a confession to make: I skip parts of this book. Large parts in fact. As it turns out, the only character I'm really interested in is Daenerys and her narrative is the only section of this book I actually read. I just can't connect to the other characters! Please convince me to read this, I want to love it but I just can't.
Paper Towns by John Green.
I have no excuse for not finishing this. I honestly don't know what happened, I just started reading something else and kind of forgot about it. I've heard its amazing and I adored Looking For Alaska, so I don't know what the hold up is! Definitely moving to the top of my TBR pile!
The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank.
Another case of the 'I-Don't-Know-What-Happened's. This book is so interesting and full of history and Anne has the most hilariously sarcastic narrative, I don't know why I'm not reading it! I really want to finish it before the end of this year, because it's my birthday in February and no doubt I'll get a load of books then!
