The latest book on my TBR that has been hovering over the edge for the last few years is "The Stand" by King. I have heard amazing things about this book but have yet been able to drop it into my hands.

I've been wanting to read Stephen King's book On Writing. I don't know why I haven't gotten my hands on it yet. I know I can't find it anywhere in libraries though. I don't know if I want to buy it yet. I'm the type that has to sample a book before I purchase it. Unfortunately, I've never gotten the chance to sample this book.

There's a lot of them. I love Ngozi Chimamanda's books and when I heard 'Americanah' was I out, I was itching to read it. I was happy when my friend got me the book while we were together in a bookshop

I want to read Wuthering Heights and The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series. Though, I want to read them when I have peace and quiet and can fully submerge my brain into the worlds. I have two young children, though so it's not happening soon.

I'm waiting for Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss to come out. It's been a really long wait, and I don't know how much longer it will be even.

I REALLY want to read the final book in The Kingkiller Chronicles. The problem is that it has been almost ten years since the last book was released, and there's no telling when the next will come out.
