This picture makes me laugh.
This one? No so much.
Why? Well this week's Top Ten Tuesday topic is "books we've bought but still not read". I should have read these by now. I am excited by each and every one of them. But ... nope.
Finding this stack was actually harder than I thought, because a) I get a lot of books for review b) most of the books I buy are books I read as review copies that I loved or are books I read immediately. But here they are:
A Northern Light - Jennifer Donnelly
Year of Wonders - Geraldine Brooks
I Am the Messenger - Markus Zusak (signed!)
Fever 1793 - Laure Halse Anderson
The Rest of Her Life - Laura Moriarty
The Crimson Petal and the White - Michel Faber
The Last Report of the Miracles at Little No Horse - Louise Erdrich
The Sheltering Sky - Paul Bowles
Chime - Franny Billingsley
How They Met and Other Stories - David Levithan
What bought books are still in your unread pile? Are there any of these I need to start immediately?

Stairway to Cats.
Your list is eclectic, and I approve. Also, A Northern Light and I Am the Messenger were both very good. I own a couple of these but also haven't read them. I started The Crimson Petal and the White, and it was great, but I didn't have time to finish because I was still in college. Sigh.
Oh, I think you'll really like I Am the Messenger! It's gripping, but it sneaks up on you, too. I need to read Chime, too - it's sitting on my shelf and I got about 2 pages in once...
Thanks for sharing your list!
My Giant Fat Cat, Larry, would love that cat hi-rise!
I have bought and not read some of those too.
I have so many books that I bought in a fervor then left unread, it is just sick. Too many to list honestly.
And no, those cats aren't spoiled. Not at all!!!
I Am The Messenger is SO GOOD. Sigh. I loved reading that one this past summer - you will not regret it :)
I haven't read any of these! so many books, so little time...
I would start with Year of Wonders, and then go to The Crimson Petal and the White. Both are favorites of mine.
I am thinking of buying a kitty condo for our kitties, as we have just added 2 new ones to the house. You will be pleased to know that one is sweet and cuddly. Finally, a cat that I can cuddle with!!
That top picture is so cute!
