Today’s prompt from Long and Short Reviews is “Books that have been on our TBR the Longest”. I dealt with my physical TBR last year, so I’m going to take a look at my Kindle library, sort by “Oldest”, and take a look at Kindle titles I bought (probably for a $1 or $2) and then forgot about because eBooks are easy to forget about.
(1) Joan of Arc, Hillaire Belloc. There’s a Joan book I own but haven’t read?! Like, zoinks, Scoob!
(2) ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror, Michael Weiss & Hassan Hasan
(3) Hacking ISIS: How to Destroy the Cyber Jihad, Malcolm Nance
(4) AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, Kai-Fu Lee
(5) Thomas Jefferson, Revolutionary, Kevin Gutzman. I can only assume I bought this and decided to wait for my usual USA! USA! USA! reading in late-June early-July, but then forgot about it.
(6) Trouble is my Business, Raymond Chandler
(7) The Maharajah’s General and The Devil’s Assassin, Paul Fraser Collard. Not sure why I lapsed reading this series.
(8) Star Trek: My Enemy, My Ally, Diane Duane. First of her Romulan series.
(9) Conservatism: An Invitation to the Great Tradition, Sir Roger Scruton.
(10) The Good Shepard, C.S. Forester. Presumably purchased for one year’s Read of England.
Reading Freely 
The Star Trek book on your list looks interesting. I just read the synopsis and I think it’ll end up on my TBR list.
I have a Forester edging towards my read soon(ish) some time this year (or maybe next) pile……
I’m currently looking at his biography of Nelson with an eye towards buying it. We shall see. Currently working on “Sons of the Waves: The Common Seaman in the Heroic Age of Sail”.
Yes, ebooks are very easy to forget about.
Star Trek: My Enemy, My Ally sounds good.
Thanks for stopping by earlier.

yep, the advantage of the electronic TBR list is that it doesn’t run the risk of tipping over when your cats knock it off the bedside table and doesn’t take up much room, but the disadvantage is how invisible it is and thus how forgettable.
