This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is books I’ve read but don’t own. Since I’ve started utilising my local library a lot more this year I’ve acquired a few books now that I have read but don’t own. I kind of have a mild obsession with owning all of the books that I’ve read, but I’ve started to restrict myself to only purchasing books I’ve rated 4/5 stars or higher. Just so I only own books that I know that I absolutely love! I’ve really cut down on just randomly purchasing books based on reviews without actually reading them first!
So these are 10 books I’ve read and rated 4 stars or higher that I will be purchasing soon:
What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Final Girls by Riley Sager
Spinning Silver & Uprooted by Naomi Novik
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey
Somewhere Only We Know by Maurene Goo
Josh & Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren
Wilder Girls by Rory Power
I had another great reading month in May! Finished nearly everything on my May TBR and then managed to complete a few extra books on the side that I have been wanting to get to for a while now. I think this was my most successful reading month of the year so far and I had a great time reading through these books!

This weeks Top 10 Tuesday is my favourite books released in the last 10 years (one book for each year). This was a lot of fun to come up with, there were some years where I had 3-4 books that were all released together and it was really difficult to just choose one, but I think this list represents my reading tastes well!
