Do you have a 'to-buy' list?
My 'to-buy' list isn't quite the same as my tbr - if I bought everything on my tbr I wouldn't have any money left for things like... food.
Some of them are on my tbr, obviously, but a lot are books that I've already read but want to own so that I can re-read them, or just because I want to know I have them (Don't judge me!)
I really want these books... I'll just have to save my pennies!
Straight James/Gay James by James Franco (UK - US)
You may have noticed, but I really love this book. That's why I want to own it. I want to have a nice paperback copy in my hands :) That came out decidedly weirder than how I intended it to sound.
Crimson Peak: The Official Movie Novelization by Nancy Holder (UK - US)
I've seen the film (UK - US) (Tom Hiddleston - yes, please!) but have heard very good things about the novelisation - which caught my attention, because normally people are a bit like 'Ehhhh...' when it comes to novelisations.
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill (UK - US)
I've read this twice from the library. I love Joe Hill. I love short stories. I love Joe Hill short stories. I really want this book.
Locke & Key: Welcome To Lovecraft by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez (UK - US)
Joe Hill + graphic novels = one happy reading addict!
Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane (UK - US)
Another book I've borrowed from the library not once but twice, and one I was first inspired to read by the Leo DiCaprio film (UK - US) (yes, sometimes I watch the film without having read the book - please don't hurt me!)
It also started my Dennis Lehane addiction; Leo has a lot to answer for.
Live By Night by Dennis Lehane (UK - US)
Another Lehane book to feed my junkie habits. This is book #2 of the Coughlin series (you can read my review of book #3 'World Gone By' here.)
I love Joe Coughlin; I shouldn't because he's a gangster. But I love him.

Oh no, trust me I have this too! There are even some books which I have already bought just for the sake of rereading or having on my shelf like Out of My Mind by Sharon M Draper which I hope to reread in February! Hope you can get to these!
