After writing that post Beat the Backlist Challenge 2022 I wanted to take a good look at my bookshelf and see what books I still have to read or need to finish! I don’t keep a lot of physical books since I only have limited space, but there is still on my shelf I need to read. Here’s part 1:
Books on my shelf:
- The Vanishing Deep by. Astrid Scholte
- Eat Your Heart Out by. Kelly DeVos
- Agnes at the End of the World by. Kelly McWilliams
- Forestborn by. Elayne Audrey Becker
- The Secret Recipe for Moving On by. Karen Bischer
- Sisters of Sword & Song by. Rebecca Ross
- The Hating Game by. Sally Thorne
- Illusionary by. Zoraida Cordova
- The Last Garden in England by. Julia Kelly
- The Fountains of Silence by. Ruta Sepetys
I did start The Vanishing Deep and Forestborn and I meant to finish but haven’t had time. I’m determined to pick them again soon though and finish it this year.
Past Midnight Book Reviews & More 
I have The Fountains of Silence as well! I am really trying to clear my backlist lol.
That is definitely one of my goals this year is to clear up my backlist!
I want to read The Fountains of Silence but I also say that about all of Sepetys’ books and so far I’ve still only read one… 🙃 I also still need to read Illusionary—that was a duology right? I loved the first one and the direction it was heading for the second book but I still haven’t picked it up, lol.
I picked up Illusionary last year and I really enjoyed it. Cordova does a great job keeping that momentum from the first book until the end, and then tying up all the loose ends to give us a wonderful ending. Definitely recommend!
I definitely need to read it this year!
