My Kindle TBRs

My last post was photos of books I physically own, but have not yet read; this post is books I have downloaded for my kindle and not yet read.

In total there are 48, so I won't list them all - here are some that I am most looking forward to reading (hopefully in the near future):

A Dance with Dragons, George R.R. Martin
The fifth book (in two volumes) of the A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series. Initially I wanted to finish all of the currently-released books in this series by Christmas, as I started them last Christmas so that seemed reasonable. But now I'm waiting until I have a little more time available to get into these, because the writing is so dense that I need to set aside a good two hours at a time to really keep up with the story. Also, I think I skimmed a lot of A Feast for Crows (book 4) because I just can't possibly care about all of the characters, and a lot of my favourites weren't in it. Which I know means they'll be in A Dance with Dragons because the two books happen in parallel (strange concept, by the way), but there are just SO MANY PAGES! We'll see when I get around to this. Perhaps it'll be next week, you never know, but it'll take me at least a month to finish it!




Not a Drop to Drink, Mindy McGinnis
I think I bought this because it was a kindle daily deal not too long ago, and it looks interesting. The main character lives by a pond, which - I believe - is one of very few sources of fresh water left. Other people want her water, and so she has to protect it at all costs. From what I've heard, it's a well-written, exciting debut novel and I'm excited to get into it.




 

 
Just One Day, Gayle Forman
I read If I Stay and Where She Went, and loved them. So I figured I should read some of Gayle's other work, too. Just One Day was another kindle daily deal, I think so I couldn't pass it up.









The Selection, The Elite, The One, Kiera Cass
I bought the entire series (the first two were on offer) so that I could marathon it, but haven't got around to it yet. I've heard great things though so I am looking forward to it.









Solitaire, Alice Oseman
A book about British teenagers, written by a British teenager - not one I was likely to pass up. I really like UKYA (even if I don't read enough of it), so this one went straight on my list when I heard about it.








Before We Met, Lucie Whitehouse

Another kindle daily deal (let's be honest, most of them are; what's the point in paying almost as much for a kindle book as I would for a physical copy?!). I know loads of people who have read and loved this. I bought it instead of Gone Girl because I've heard it's actually the better of the two books. But in general I don't really like thrillers, so we'll see how I get on with this one.
