The book you regret keeping in your TBR for too long
My TBR gets so long I’m sure I’ve lost some true masterpieces in there. What book do you regret having waited too long to read and almost got lost in the never ending to-be-read list?
The Picture Of Dorian Gray. Decided not to read it for a long time due to the image the “Dark Academia” part of social media gave of it, not because it’s a bad one but because it’s not one I’m interested in exploring. After reading It I realized how much I loved Wilde’s writing, not even the book itself, yet I’m grateful for having given it a try because it opened the door for his other books, especially the plays and short stories which I love

The Priory of the Orange Tree. I was daunted by its length and was worried it would be a dense and difficult read. But it wasn’t—it’s a page turner! So engaging and just splendid.

[Between](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/9ac5b146-c504-45e6-9f1e-eb9081707903) by L.L. Starling! I kept pushing off reading it because it’s pretty long and not really the sort of thing I typically read, but it ended up being SO funny.
