This week's Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl is books on your to be read pile that have the oldest publication dates. What a unique topic! I had fun going into my Kindle and looking on my bookshelf to see what I had. It was not what I'd expected and I'm finding I don't have as much interest in all of them as I did when they were purchased.
My TBR pile is enormous at this point. I know I'm not alone. Asking for ten TBR books is impossible with a true book lover as we have a million to sift through. Here is my list as close as I could get (no links or covers due to limited time, just the list for now). I am excited to read other bloggers' lists to compare and see what new titles look interesting!
1. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen 1818
2. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas 1844
3. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell 1854
4. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy 1873
5. The Cannon in Residence by Victor Whitechurch 1911
6. The Witness for the Defense by A.E.W. Mason 1914
7. The Spiral Staircase by Ethel Lina White 1933
8. Midwinter Murders by Agatha Christie 1920
9. The Spiral Staircase by Ethel Lina White 1933
10. The Sancturary Sparrow by Ellis Peters 1983
I am sure there are a few more classics and classic mysteries that fell into the list and I missed them but I tried! Happy Reading ya'll :)
I’ve heard good things about The Count of Monte Crisco.

A few Jane Austen and Agatha Christie made it to my list, but I did miss North and South as it is also on my TBR. Have a great week!
