So normally I try to keep my Wednesday posts brief, and my Tuesdays are the ones that spiral out of control. But today I’m breaking the rules and this one is going to be a long ‘un, so might as well grab yourself a snack and an cup of tea before you get started! There are a lot of books I keep meaning to read, so I’ve divided them into genres. Lots of genres!

So there we go, a huge list of books I should have read a long time (or a short time) ago, but still haven’t! Have you read any of these? Are there any on this list you also keep meaning to read?
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is a blog hop hosted every Wednesday by Long and Short Reviews. The weekly prompts range widely, including both book-related and non-book-related topics. The idea is to get bloggers to interact, share a bit about their lives and connect with other bloggers. Click here for the list of upcoming topics, and visit here to join in the fun!
I loved James; Braiding Sweetgrass (YA version); Wandering Stars; Jane Against the World. I wish I had the last one at my avil when I was still teaching.
I’d like to read “Violeta.”
Dracula and Frankenstein are two of my favourites. Some of the others you’ve posted look interesting. My TBR is becoming endless. 🤣🤣
