I originally posted an “All the books I meant to read” wrap up in 2016… and forgot about it for a couple of years, but now it’s back! Here’s a look back at all the books I purchased in 2019, but just didn’t get around to reading for one reason or another.
To keep things simple, I’m focusing here on new physical books I bought or received as gifts — no ARCs, no e-books, no $1 books from the library sale.
Here’s a salute to my unread books of 2019!
Bookshelf Fantasies 
Challenger Deep in 2020! 😀
YES! What would I do without your reminders? 🙂
I hope you get to them in 2020! I loved the toll!

I really can’t wait to start The Toll! I haven’t had much audiobook time the past two weeks, so it’s taking me longer than expected to finish listening to Thunderhead… but once I’m done, I’m definitely starting The Toll!
Well, at least you have a great bunch to look forward to in the new year. 🙂 I also can’t believe I didn’t read Full Throttle. I really gotta squeeze that one in.
Me too. 🙂 I just had to have a copy… but I also still haven’t read Strange Weather, so I really do have a lot of Joe Hill catching up to do!
Would it make you feel better if I told you I only read one of these? Well Met was cute. I hope you read it soon!
I’m really looking forward to it!
I used to listen to Kate Bush – glad to see this book, Lisa. And I see you have The Grapes of Wrath on your list – I hope when you do read it that you like it as much as I did. Happy New Year!
I’m really looking forward to Grapes of Wrath! My book group is reading Tortilla Flat, and while reactions are definitely mixed, I’m enjoying his writing so much!
I haven’t read that one. I need to read East of Eden before I can say I’m a serious Steinbeck reader. I’ve only read Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath.
I read East of Eden ages ago and remember liking it, although I don’t remember much about it. Cannery Row is on my list too.
I own East of Eden so I have no excuse except I have books on my Kindle (from the library) that are soon expiring!
I haven’t read The Coldest Winter Ever since high school, but I really liked it. Would love to reread it to see how the story has held up.
I really meant to read The Coldest Winter as part of a reading challenge last year, but it just didn’t happen — but I 100% intend to read it in 2020!
