Top Ten Books I HAD To Buy...But Are Still Sitting On My Shelf Unread

We're all guilty of this. Come on, with a show of hands, who buys books because they just NEED to have them? Even when there are a million and one unread books on your shelves? Yeah, I feel like I can confide in you guys so I'll be the first to confess. Here are my top ten books I HAD to buy...but are still sitting on my shelf unread (in no particular order):

1. Unwholly: I waited almost five years for this book to come out and once it did, OF COURSE I HAD TO OWN IT...but I had forgotten most of the first book. Alas, I have to reread Unwind to read this one.

2. All These Things I've Done: The premise of this book had me hooked at once. A ban on chocolate? Yes. I even had it gifted to me and I haven't found the time to pick it up.

3. Dearly Departed: Zombies? Corsets? That's all I had to know to want to own this immediately. But as you can see, I still haven't read it.

4. Tempest: This one had to be on my shelf since I hadn't read many time travel books. I still haven't read many time travel books as you can probably tell since it's still there.

5. Insurgent: I found this one on sale the week it first came out and jumped on it. I'm kind of torn though. One friend loved it, the other has been reading it for months because she thinks it's boring. I'm scared to find out where I fall on the spectrum.

6. Forbidden: This angel book seemed really intriguing  especially since it is written by a mother-son team. I hope I get to it soon.

7. Blood Red Road: The second book already came out. What am I doing with my life? I need to read this!

8. Beauty Queens: A satire comedy I just had to have and haven't had time for. The cover is lovely though. Maybe I'll read it this spring.

9. Across the Universe: I love si-fi books and ones that take place in space are even better. Plus all the hype surrounding this made me buy it. Now I just need to read it.

10. The Disenchantments: With a cover like that, I just had to have it. Who cares when I'll have time to read it, my shelves needed it! Plus I've only heard good things about Nina's books.

Btw, this might seem like a lot (and I wish this was it) but I have so many more I could add to this list! I impulsively buy books and I know you all do too. So let me know which books make the top of your lists in the comments below!
