Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s topic is Books I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Read.
1. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
2. The Poppy War Series by R.F. Kuang
3. East of Eden by John Steinbeck
4. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
5. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
6. To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
7. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
8. The Giver by Lois Lowry
9. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
10. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The reactions I get when I say I’ve never read (or seen) Harry Potter makes me feel like I bring shame to the millennial generation every time TT. Do we share any books on this list?

You’re one of the few I haven’t heard who haven’t read Harry Potter 🙂 The Poppy War series is understandable due to the trigger warnings. The Kite Runner and The Book Thief however are both so good!

It’s not such a bad thing to not have read HP given the experience is now irredeemably tainted by JKR’s TERF nonsense.
I can’t believe I haven’t read The Poppy War series either.
thanks for sharing your #TTT

The Giver is a modern classic! There are a few sequels to it, too, but I didn’t think they were quite so good.

Thank you for the ref to R.F. Kuang: the series is now on my To Read list on GR.

The Book Thief was such a good one! The Giver is also very good, the sequels not as strong but I found worth reading. To the Lighthouse was also good, I listened to an audiobook version of it a couple years ago. A few of these are on my TBR as well, East of Eden and The Kite Runner.

I love HP and THE BOOK THIEF, but I despise THE GREAT GATSBY, LOL. I hope you enjoy all these when you read them!
Happy TTT (on a Thursday)!
