Hello my fellow bookworms. Today, I am taking part in this week’s Top Ten Tuesday! A weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, who each week assigns a new topic to inspires us to create a top ten list based on it. This week’s topic is:
‘Books I Loved but Never Reviewed’
As my aim is to review all the books I read, well finish reading anyway, each and every year on this blog, I have had to stretch my memory back to think of the books I loved from before I started my blog, which is (coincidentally) over 10 years ago! These are also books I haven’t re-read in that time too, but having now made this list, I think I will be bumping quite a few up my to-be-re-read list, so reviews could be coming soon-ish!
1. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen – My first and still my favourite of Austen’s wonderfully witty and romantic novels. Hoping to re-read this soon 
as part of my Classics Club challenge.
2. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown – Since reading this, back in my uni days, I have been kept busy with the subsequent thrilling adventures with Robert Langdon, but this is still my favourite.
3. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë – I fell in love with this tragically, enchanting tale in my late teens and since I have been working my way through the other Brontë sister’s work.
4. The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams – It’s been too long since I read this and the other three hilarious instalments in Adams’ 
quirky science-fiction trilogy(?!).
5. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley – I can’t think why since reading this beautifully written Gothic horror back in my uni days, I have not re-read?! Maybe I should add it to my Classics Club list?
6. Sabriel by Garth Nix – The first book of Nix’s darkly, young-adult fantasy series, which I was unable to complete, but now I have copies of more books from the series there is no more excuses.
7. Ivanhoe by Walter Scott – I must admit I read this so long ago, that I only vaguely remember enjoying it, so looking forward to re-reading as part of my 
Classics Club challenge.
8. Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams – The first book in a gripping subterranean adventure series, which I borrowed from my mum. I am trying to collect my own copies of it to re-read in the future.
9. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith – I loved this funny and poignant coming-of-age tale in my early teens, but sadly I don’t know what happened to my copy.
10. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden – An exotic and moving historical-fiction, which I read many years before I started this blog.
Now over to you: What do you think of my choices? What books have you read but not reviewed?
Also if you have taken part in this week’s TTT topic, too, then please leave a link for your post in the comments below, so I come check it out.

I can’t blame you for not reviewing The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I read it more recently, but even still, I don’t think I could come up with a coherent review, other than just telling people that they should obviously read it. xD
Haha I know what you mean, Sammie, but if I’d had a blog, I would have given reviewing a good try! 😉
Sense & sensibility is also my favorite Austen novel. And Wuthering heights is my favorite Bronte novel so far (although I also loved Jane Eyre).
So pleased to hear we have the same Austen and Brontë favourites, Annelies! 😁 Have you read Anne’s A Tenant of Wilfdfel Hall? I also loved that too.
No I haven’t yet read anything of Anne. But it’s on my (never ending) list.
I hope it won’t be too long till you can read some of Anne’s work! 😁
I love Sense & Sensibility! And Wuthering Heights. I need to do a reread of both of those, as well. I Capture the Castle is waiting on my TBR shelf. I’m “planning” on reading it before the year is over. 😉 Great list!!
Thank you, Dedra 😊 I really hope you will enjoy I Capture the Castle as much as I did! 😃
Love Sense and Sensibility!! Great list!!

Hello Kelly-Ann, thank you for stopping by and commenting. It is always lovely to hear from a new face, especially a Sense & Sensibility fan! 😊
i can’t remember if you ever listen to audiobooks, but Derek Jacobi’s narration of Frankenstein is a wonderful way to revisit it. 😀
Ooo Derek Jacobi narrating Frankenstein does sound great! Sadly, while I loved them as a child, I rarely listen to audiobooks now. Although I do love my Harry Potter audiobooks, narrated by the brilliant Stephen Fry, so maybe I need to invest in more books I want to re-read on audiobook. 🙂
Lots of classics on here. I’m hoping to get to Sabriel soon! Great list.
My Top Ten
Thank you, Leslie 😊 and I hope we’re both able to read round to reading/re-reading Sabriel soon!
These are all such classics! Angels & Demons is also my favorite in that series.
My TTT.
Yes, I did end up with a lot of classics on my list, Deanna and great to hear you think Angels & Demons is the best in the Langdon series, too! 😃
Oh, gosh…. I’m so old and have been blogging for so long (almost 15 years), I would have to think hard to come up with the “right ten” I wanted to include!
Your list is interesting. I have to admit I wasn’t a fan of the Douglas Adams book when i read it, but maybe I just read it at the wrong time. 😉
I must admit I found this topic quite hard, Kelly. Also, even though I adore it, I realise that The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is going to be to everyone’s taste – Humour is a very personal thing: I for one can’t understand the fuss made about Friends, but I know that is very controversial to most people! 😅
Hitchhikers is a wonderful series, I’ve read it so many times. Memoirs of a Geisha is fantastic too, it made me fall in love with a Japan.
Heather, great to hear you loved The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy and Memoirs of a Geisha too! I would love to go to Japan! 😍
I too read I Capture the Castle (I might have even blogged it) and Memoirs of a Geisha. Loved both. Good memories.
Lovely to hear you enjoyed I Capture the Castle and Memoirs of a Geisha too and glad this post brought back some good memories. 😊
I really enjoyed Sense and Sensibility, Frankenstein, and Wuthering Heights. I didn’t review them either! I would really like to read I Capture the Castle. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
Poinsettia, glad hear it isn’t just me, when it comes to unreviewed classics! 😅
I say both of us should review Frankenstein sometime. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
Definitely! And you’re welcome and thank you for visiting back. 😊
I’m not much of a rereader but I think I should set aside a month to just reread old favorites.
Oh as an an avid re-reader, I think that is a very good idea, Deb! 😁
Yup. I definitely read a few of these and didn’t ever review them 🙂
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Haha good to hear I am not the only one, Natalie! 😅
Interesting list – I loved Hitch-hikers Guide – especially the label – a trilogy in 5 parts! Also Sense and Sensibility, Wuthering Heights (in my teenage angst years), and I captured the castle – which I re-read recently. Interesting thought too which I haven’t really considered until now about reviewing older books…
Thank you, Margaret – Good to hear we have a few books we have enjoyed in common from this list. 🙂 And as an avid re-reader, reviews of older books do pop up on my blog from time to time, but I wouldn’t go back and review them unless I’d just re-read them.
Fab list, Jessica! I have also read, loved and failed to review the first six books on your list… but I also read them a long time ago so I suppose I can forgive myself 😉 I did reread Sense and Sensibility a few years ago though….
Thank you, Proxy and what a coincidence! 😁
Great list! Sabriel made my list this week, too–I read it years ago and loved it, so I’d like to re-read the series soon so I can review them.
Jess, I hope we’re both able to re-read Sabriel and the rest of series soon. 🙂
