A book from your TBR that you meant to read in 2020, but didn't. Now THAT is a broad category for me!!!

I've got The Night Watchman borrowed from the library right now. I know I'm not going to get to it before it's due back.

Because this is unique to each reader, I did not create a Listopia.

Brandi (blkreutz) | 9 comments I’ll be reading “Dead Man’s Walk”.
I loved Lonesome Dove and am excited to read the prequel, didn’t get up it in 2020, ready to take it on in 2021.


message 3: by Dixie (new)

Dixie (dixietenny) The Relentless Moon. I really wanted to read it but somehow never got around to it.


message 5: by Sandra (new)

Sandra Lourenço (ssandraa) | 128 comments There are so many!!
I wanted to read Clockwork Angel and didn't get to it, so that will probably be my choice.

Johanne *the biblionaut* | 1301 comments Freebie!


message 7: by Heather (new)

Heather (heatherbowman) | 903 comments Exactly, Johanne! I meant to read all of my TBR in 2020 (and 2019, 2018, 2017, ...) so any of them can fit here.

K.L. Middleton (theunapologeticbookworm) | 847 comments I think this is probably going to be the easiest prompt to complete next year. I have so many books that I haven't managed to get around to reading!

Teri (teria) | 1554 comments I will probably choose between books I checked out of the library but had to return before I read them:
The Overstory
The Starless Sea
The Giver of Stars
The Ten Thousand Doors of January
Untamed
The Shape of Night
Sing, Unburied, Sing
Transcendent Kingdom

Ellie (patchworkbunny) | 1756 comments I could delve into the massive stocks of ebooks I acquired this year but I'm not sure there was much intention to read them in 2020... So to try and narrow it down, the physical books left unread from this year are:

Winter in Sokcho
The Midnight Lie
Wranglestone
Wilder Girls
The Bone Shard Daughter
The Only Good Indians
Summerwater
The Lives of Saints
The Betrayals
The Devil and the Dark Water
Over the Woodward Wall

Mahi | 93 comments Having mapped out all the books for Popsugar in 2020 and then read less than half of them, boy do I have a lot of candidates for this one!


message 16: by Ashleigh (new)

Ashleigh Motbey (ashybear02) | 144 comments For me it will be The Hero of Ages

I sooo wanted to complete the trilogy this year but it isn't to be


message 17: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (wendyneedsbooks) | 131 comments I have numerous books that I had listed as possibilities for multiple categories this year, and was *sure* I'd get to, but just didn't:

The Overstory
The Color Purple
The Old Man and the Sea
Washington Black
The Terror


message 18: by Ruth (new)

Ruth Lanton (ruthla8) | 177 comments There are a whole bunch of books that came out in 2020 that I'd meant to read right away, but then I decided to reread the entire Dresden Files (and not just the last one, and the two new ones), so I've got lots to choose from here.

Laurie | 41 comments Troubled Blood (Cormoran Strike #5) by Robert Galbraith 4 stars

B. Berkin | 1 comments Now, for the first time ever, a light and fun book will save you from reading thick wine encyclopedias to look confident and cool on your date.

Tamara Evans (bamalibrarylady) I just finished reading My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.


message 24: by Stina (new)

Stina (stinalyn) | 464 comments Dozens of these for me. Probably hundreds. :-/ I went with Hanging Falls. It's the most recent in a great K-9 police procedural series set in the Colorado Rockies.


message 25: by Jacqie (new)

Jacqie I bought "Realm of Ash" by Tasha Suri last year. There are so many sequels that I want to read but haven't gotten to! This is the one that caught my eye this month.

Lisa (littlebigdog) | 20 comments I read Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster for this topic. It was very interesting. It's one of my favorite books I've read, so far this year.


message 29: by Marcella (new)

Marcella | 16 comments Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Everyone in the world read it last year, and I started the audiobook, but never finished.


message 30: by Sherri (new)

Sherri Harris | 782 comments I read The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. I have been meaning to read it for a few years. Finally had a good reason to read it.


message 31: by Lilith (last edited May 30, 2021 02:28PM) (new)

Lilith (lilithp) | 1073 comments The Harpy was definitely on my radar in 2020, and I'm glad I was able to read it. Very nuanced, character-driven, a little magical realism, and so beautifully written!


message 32: by LeahS (new)

LeahS | 491 comments I enjoy Natalie Haynes radio programme Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics , so I was looking forward to reading Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths. A lively and humorous look at the troublesome women of Greek myth and legend.


message 33: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) | 56 comments So many books could have fit this category. I chose Famine. I'm so looking forward to the last book in this series.


message 34: by Dana (new)

Dana Cristiana (silvermoon1923) I started The Art of War by Sun Tzu in 2020 but read very little of it. I will finish it this year.


message 35: by Dubhease (last edited Nov 03, 2021 09:54PM) (new)

Dubhease | 642 comments The Turn of the Key I needlessly read The Turn of the Screw last year. I should have just read this.
