Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today I’m listing books I HAD to have immediately yet still haven’t read. Unfortunately, this is an easy topic, as I have way more books I want to read than I can read 🙂
To add some sense of order to this madness, I’m listing books from my recent seasonal TBR’s I haven’t read yet. Only reason why I haven’t read them yet is because I’m a mood reader and I get distracted by other books easily, depending on said mood. But I really, really want to read these soon though, so let’s hope I can get to them quickly!
From my Spring 2026 TBR
The Name Game by Beth O’Leary
We Burned So Bright by TJ Klune
A Curse of Beasts and Magic by Jeaniene Frost
From my Winter 2025-2026 TBR
We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark
Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis
A Practical Guide to Dating a Demon by Hannah Reynolds
From my Fall 2025 TBR
People Watching by Hannah Bonam-Young
Alchemised by SenLinYu
Mate by Ali Hazelwood
From my Spring-Summer 2025 TBR
One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune
When The Tides Held The Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley
Rose in Chains by Julie Soto
Tell Me:
Have you read any of these books yet? Any I definitely need to prioritise and read ASAP?
I should have added a novel by Beth to my list! Hers always sound fun. 🙂
They do! If only I could get around to actually reading them, that would be great haha 😀
I still need to read We Burned So Bright as well.
Hope we’ll both love it when we get to it!
A Curse of Beasts and Magic & Mate are two of my favorites!
I can’t wait to read both of them!
I just started A Curse of Beasts & Magic!
I hope you’ll love it!
I’m a mood reader too and I have soooo many books from past TBR lists I haven’t read, I’m too scared to even look at them! 😂 Good luck with yours!

Haha glad to hear I’m not the only one 😉
Ooh, a lot on here on my TBR as well. People Watching was definitely one of those ‘I need it NOW’ moments and I still haven’t read it (or any HBY books)… Oops 🤣 I hope you love them all whenever you get to them though!
Haha I’m glad to hear I’m not alone when it comes to People Watching – or, indeed, any Hannah Bonam-Young 😉
So many amazing books on here! I loved We Burned So Bright, A Curse of Beasts and Magic, We Who Will Die, and One Golden Summer! I hope you enjoy them when you get to them. 🙂
Thanks! Glad to hear you loved those books, I really hope to get to them soon! 🙂
I hope you enjoy all of these when the mood strikes to read them, LOL! I am the same, I am a mood reader and if I am not in the right mood and try to make myself read a book, I will end up hating it. Have a good week!
Yes, that’s exactly it! The mood NEEDS to be right, otherwise it’s not gonna work haha 🙂
I’m so conflicted about Alchemised. I want to try it, but I don’t know if I should hahaha Great picks and nice to meet ya! 😀
I know, it’s one of those books I really want to read but probably won’t pick up anytime soon either… 🙂
I have Mate on my own TBR. Enchanting the Fae Queen and People Watching look quite lovely to me! I hope you enjoy all of these books 🙂
Also do not get me started on being a distracted reader lol It is the worst and best of times!

Haha glad to hear I’m not the only distracted reader 😀
Every time I see When the Tides Held the Moon I think it’s such a beautiful cover with a really intriguing title.
So true! It always catches my eye and yet I still haven’t read it 🙂
Mood Reading is both a blessing and a curse!! I haven’t read any of the books on your list either but I hope you enjoy them all if you get to them!
So true! 🙂 Thanks!
I’m hoping to read The Name Game this year. I hope you enjoy them all when you get the chance to read them.
Here’s my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/the-ten-holiday-reads-on-my-tbr-the-longest/
Thanks! Hope we’ll both love The Name Game when we get to it 🙂
What I don’t have on your list, I want LoL
We Burned So Bright is good, and a quick read
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
So glad to hear you enjoyed We Burned So Bright!
I love making seasonal TBR lists, but I rarely stick to them at all. I hope you enjoy these when you read them!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Haha I’m not great at my seasonal TBR lists either, but I do love making them 😀
I still have We Burned so Bright on my shelf too, Lindsey. I hope you enjoy these when you get a chance to read them.
Thanks! Hope we’ll both enjoy We Burned So Bright whenever we get to it 🙂
OMG I have the same with Rose in Chains!
My TTT: https://laurieisreading.com/2026/07/28/top-ten-tuesday-how-am-i-doing-on-my-2026-backlist-titles/
I hope we’ll both get to Rose in Chains soonish 🙂
I haven’t read any of these but I am definitely guilty of needing books and then not reading them!
Haha I think most of us readers can be guilty of that indeed 😉
I haven’t read Beth O’Leary’s newest book either!
Hope we’ll both love it whenever we get to it!
