Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
The rules are simple:
-
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
-
Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to The Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
-
Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other blogger’s lists.
-
Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is The Oldest (aka Earliest Published) Books On My TBR and here they are with the original publication dates!

I remember the TV adaptation, so I’m waiting for a bit longer before I tackle it.

Agatha Christie doing some heavy lifting there! My oldest unread book is The Last Man by Mary Shelley, from 1826!

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t aware of it until I stumbled over it in a bookshop. I was intrigued by it as a very early example of post-apocalyptic fiction. I don’t always get on with classics though, so who knows what will happen! 😂

I took a different direction on this. I posted the books that had been on my TBR the longest. I’ve wanted to read the Count of Monte Cristo, but still haven’t. Here’s my TTT: : https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2024/11/19/top-ten-tuesday-the-oldest-titles-on-my-tbr/

I’ve been working (slllowwwwlllly) on read Agatha Christie’s novels over the last few years. It’s been fun! I’ve only read half a dozen or so so far so I have a ways to go…I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Great list! I’ve only read The ABC Murders of these, but a couple are on my TBR. I think my oldest book is probably a Edgar Allan Poe book. xx
