Husband Picks My TBR


My husband is not a book reader but he does know my taste in books and he loves good movies so those were his criteria for selecting these books for me.


Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
This is a very popular gothic mystery which I did attempt to pick up a few times but haven't really committed to read but this challenge will surely motivated me more.

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris
This was successfully adapted into a film that I watched snippets of when I was a kid and have no interest reading or watching since then because I'm terrified of the character, Hannibal.

Mystic River by Dennis Lehane
The film adaptation won a ton of awards and my husband was choosing between this and Shutter Island.

The Martian by Andy Weir
My husband liked the movie and this was a very popular book that I contemplated on but a lot of reviews says this was sexist so I don't know if I'll enjoy it.

Enemy Mine by Barry B Longyear
This was his favourite movie when he was a kid and I'm really interested to read this short story I just haven't found a copy yet.

Sunday Post: Another Year Ending and Other Bookish Updates

I can't believe that 2019 is almost over. I am so sad that I did not get to a lot of my goals this year, I was only able to read 27 books so far and I don't think I could reach my goal of 50 but I will definitely try to do my best to do that. I also have a lot of plans for my blog that did not materialize but there's still next year so I don't feel too bad about that. I recently spruced up my shelves and removed a lot of books that I did not finish - check my post here . My TBR is now down to 456 books which could be better if I have not been adding more books this year, click here if you want to see my book hauls for this year.
