Welcome back to another Open Book Blog Hop!
Today’s topic is: Is there a book in your TBR pile that you’re more excited about than the others?
And remember to visit my fellow writers to see what they have come up with. You can find their works here!
I’ve actually got a pretty substantial “to be read” list. Before writing, I reviewed books and still do. As a result I’ve got a pretty expansive list of books yet to be read. Most of them are from people to review, and a fair few I’ve bought myself to enjoy. Given the ponderous scale of my TBR I’m going to pull out a few books I’ve bought myself that I’m super keen to get to.
First up is The Institute by Stephen King. It seems like something quite different from his usual horror stuff. I’ve had it on my shelf for quite some time now and am excited to dive into it. Next up are two collections I’ve wanted to read for some time but for reasons unknown to me, I just haven’t managed yet: the His Dark Materials trilogy and the Dune series of books. Both have plenty in the way of visual media to tempt me in, so I just need to get around to sitting down and reading them.
This is just a small sample of the books I’ve got to read that I’m looking forward to, but I know there are plenty more to come, and plenty not yet released that I’ll be looking forward to.
We’ve all got groaning TBR lists. It’s nice having a selection of books/subjects to pick from.

I may seem like a heretic to this group, but I read the first book in the Dune series many years ago and wasn’t impressed. I never read any more of the series.

I think reading is very individual. I LOVE Stephen King, but know many that cannot stand his work.

I was going to tell you which one I was reading next, then I spotted an Indie book by an author I know vaguely. It’s now been promoted in the reading order and I’m loving it.

I, too, have some books that have lingered in my TBR for years, just waiting for their moment.

I’m currently reading the second Dune book. So far there a lot of talking but it told in an interesting way. The best part about the Dune series is it the first book can be read as a stand alone.
