Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted at The Broke and Bookish, which is shutting down so today is the last Top Ten Tuesday. They'll continue on That Artsy Reader Girl, but I don't know yet if I'll be following it there.
At any rate, this week's topic is the top 10 books we meant to read in 2017 and totally plan to get to in 2018! Here are mine:
It was on my TBR Pile Challenge last year, so I really should have read it. But now it's on my challenge list for this year too, so if I manage not to read it again I'm going to completely give up on ever doing so.
2. Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
I was first attracted by the cover, but everyone I know who has read it has loved it.
3. From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty
Her first book, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, was fantastic and I'm sure this one is too.
4. The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry
I've heard lots of great things about this book!
At some point last year I bought the audiobook from Audible and then forgot about it until about a week ago.
6. Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I've read all of her other books and thought I'd read this one over the summer and now I'm surprised to find that I still haven't read it.
7. Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder
This looks fascinating and I told a coworker about it, who immediately read it and really liked it.
8. Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder
I realize this wasn't even published until late November, but I was all over it the moment I heard about it and really thought I'd read it right away.
His other two books were great, so I thought I'd snatch this one up the moment it got published, but here I am months later, still having not read it.
10. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
I have no excuse with this one. I received a galley back in the early spring, thought it looked good, and then decided to give it away because I didn't think I'd get to it. I've only heard good things about it since then! I even bought it for a friend for Christmas, but somehow have still managed not to read it myself.
Have you read any of these? Which should I make my priority?

I absolutely loved "The Fold" and "14" by Peter Clines and read "Paradox Pound" only a few weeks ago. In my opinion it's not quite as good as the other two books but it was still very entertaining and came with some fun ideas, so I'd say it's definitely worth reading and I hope you get to read it this year!
