Today I’m not only going to be sharing my Backlist Book TBR, but also be announcing the backlist book club! I’ve wanted a way to communicate with you all about the books I’ve been reading in a book club format. So I thought, what better idea would be a backlist book club? And with books I haven’t read, that you’ve voted on!
This Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Artsy Reader Girl!
This is going to start off every couple of months, but as we go forwards we can alter the date. For now, it’ll be a Twitter Chat. For the first book it is…..THREE DARK CROWNS! I am so excited for this ever since Epic Reads Day and seeing how funny Kendare Blake is!
So for the month of November focus on getting your hands on a copy of THREE DARK CROWNS and then in the beginning of December, before the holiday rush, we can discuss on Twitter. Would you prefer if we had constant check ins? (Our hashtag can be #backlistusom or do you have a better idea?) How about December 8th as the meet up date?

How does this sound for a year of backlist book club recommendations? Do you know of any others I should read?
Great choices! I think all of those are books still on my own TBR except for the two I’ve manages to read (They Both Die at the End & Strange the Dreamer). Good luck with your book club — it sounds like a brilliant idea! I hope you enjoy Three Dark Crowns.
I hope it doesn’t flop, please let it not flop. I think about this every day lol
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Strange the Dreamer. Hope you like it.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I have too! And with MUSE I feel like it’s a good time to start
We have so many books in common!! Three Dark Crowns, Legend, Strange the Dreamer, They Both Die at the End and Shadowshaper are all books I want to read some time in the future!
OMG Yes! I am so excited because if this book club does well, maybe next year I’ll read most of those? I can hope right lol
Illuminae and A Darker Shade of Magic are SO GOOD. I still need to get around to Strange the Dreamer!
My TTT post!
OH! I want to listen to Illuminae because it has a full cast!
Strange the Dreamer has been on my shelf for forever!
OMG I cannot wait! I have it too but I just haven’t gotten to it lol
Same. I think maybe the length has something to do with it, lol.
You need to read A Darker Shade of Magic, Lili. It is fantastic. The world building blows me away and the magical system is awesome. I also need to get to Furthermore (the cover is so gorgeous) and They Both Die at the End (but my heart). Good luck with your TBR!
I can’t wait, but I also don’t know if I am prepared for how much I think I’ll love that series. Also pretty scared for TBDATE….
I really liked Three Dark Crowns- that’s a fun series. I’ve heard really good things about Laini Taylor too. I hope you enjoy all these. 🙂
YAY! I am so excited to read it, I just…haven’t started yet? I am trying to finish listening to WHAT IF IT’S US
Legend is one of my favorite books, and Strange the Dreamer is good too. Good luck with your backlist book club!
Thanks! I can’t wait to read LEGEND! I loved WARCROSS & WILDCARD. Do you think LEGEND is better?
Those are definitely some good picks to catch up on! I’ve read ADSOM and Shadowshaper – both are fast paced and fun to read.
That’s such good news! I can’t wait to read ADSOM it’s not like I don’t own the whole series….
