I can’t remember what life was like before Book Blogging, when I bought books to read them right away, and when I only owned a handful of unread books. When I didn’t know about loads of the latest releases, and wasn’t getting tons of recommendations from awesome bookish people.

Now that I am involved in this community, I’m consistently adding to my TBR pile. So here are 10 books I’ve recently added to my TBR, which sound pretty awesome.

If I were to tell a “normal” person that I have over 300 unread books, that I read an average of 60 books per year, that I started blogging over 2 years ago, and that there are some books I own from the pre-blogging days that I just haven’t quite gotten around to reading yet, they’d think I was insane.

Luckily, I discovered the Book Blogging community. Behold, the top ten books I’ve been meaning to get to, since before I started blogging…

As much as us Book Geeks read for escapism, there are times when we wish our favourite fictional tales would become our reality (though for some of these, the reality probably doesn’t live up to expectations – but isn’t that the great thing about reading? We can quasi-live different experiences from the comfort of our own sofas!).

Finding a hidden gem is a great feeling, but it also means as a Book Geek I want to shout about it and shove a copy in to everyone’s hands. Here are 10 fantastic underappreciated reads with less than 2000 ratings on Goodreads!

I spend a ridiculous amount of time watching BookTube. Forget getting lost in Pinterest for hours, these guys are the way to go.

I rarely read a book I can’t find merit in, but I’ve been branching out of my comfort zone more and more, which often means finding amazing hidden gems, as well as great big stinkers. Here are some of my best and worst recent reads!

This was the Top Ten Tuesday topic a couple of weeks ago… but it has taken me a little time to get my ass into gear with scheduling posts. Today is a freebie topic, so TA DA!

This is a list of my ULTIMATE all-time favourite books of 2015, picked either because I gave them 5*, or they were close to being 5* reads but have regardless stayed with me throughout the year. Happy reading, Book Geeks!
