I’ve got a good mix of classics and fantasy, books have been on my tbr for a while, but also books I find particularly intriguing at this point in time. This list does not include any rereads, I’ll be reading all of these books for the first time. If you want to add any of these to your tbr or check out a detailed synopsis, head to this shelf I created on Goodreads.
Do you have a bucket list of books? Let me know in the comments along with your TTT link.
Check out my review of The Family You Make by Jill Shalvis.

So happy to hear that, I’ll hopefully listen to the audiobook this month.
This is a great list of books! Totally doable in two years’ time. I should make a 40 before 40 list since I’m 34 now. aahh!! Good luck! 🙂
Should be, we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for visiting Leslie.
Great list – I’ve also got War & Peace on my TBR, and am hoping to get to it soon.
Good luck Leah!
This is a great list and I think you can do it. 🙂 Several of these are on my must read list. The only one I have read is War and Peace, which I liked. I read it over the course of a year, breaking it down in small parts each week. I am reading The Count of Monte Cristo this year. Thank you for sharing!
I’m currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo actually and really like it so far.
Interesting spin on the topic!

Wow, there’s some heavy reading here! I hope you get all these read before your 30th birthday. I’ve only read one of them and I’m WAY over 30 🙂
Happy TTT!

Hehe, thanks for your support Susan.
You have an awesome and eclectic list you shared. A few I’ve read or want to read, especially Bury My Heart and Kindred. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here.
Thanks Mia!
WOW. Two years or no, your first two titles alone would intimidate me way too much! 😉 Hope you accomplish these reader goals! Enjoy and thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week.
Hahaha, I know right? Thanks for visiting Rissi.
This is an excellent list of books. I like how you’ve created a nice mix of titles.
