What’s on my Kindle? | E-books I recently added to my digital TBR

I’ve never done a Kindle book haul before! In general, I rarely talk about my Kindle, as e-books don’t excite me as much as my physical TBRs. But I’ve been meaning to share with you some of the e-books I got for my Kindle for quite a while now, so this week’s Top Ten Tuesday theme couldn’t be more perfect! Well… maybe not so perfect as the actual theme is to talk about the books you’ve added to the TBR and forgotten why. But let’s just focus on the first part instead. 

All of these I added to my TBR because I was really excited to read them right away. But as we all know that never actually happens, and they have been sitting on my Kindle virtual shelf for months and months now. 

In the attempt to actually make me read these books soon, I’m going to share with you 10 of my most recent AND most exciting Kindle purchases!

Have you read any of these books? Which one should I read first? I’m REALLY excited about «Elantris» by Brandon Sanderson. I actually started reading it in May (or was it April?!), but had to put down because of ARCs. I loved that first couple of pages I read and want to pick it back up asap.

Let me know in the comments below which book I should prioritize and read first! 🙂
