I plan to read Victor Pelevin's Helmet of Horror and Hisham Matar's In the Country of Men along with some other books (some of which are by Czech autors), if I can find the time.

I don't think I've read anything by a Czech author. Any recommendations?
It's hard to recommend something because I don't really know what was translated to English, but if I should pick one for all, it's gonna be absolutely anything from Karel Čapek. I love his plays, especially "Věc Makropulos", I think it was translated as "Makropulos Secret", and "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots"), which is a play where the word "robot" was used for the first time ever (as in Karel Čapek's brother Josef has made the word up!) which is unbelievable, it came out only in 1920. He also wrote some novels, my favourite being "Válka s mloky" ("War with the Newts") which is an amazing sci-fi.

I plan on reading Guy in Real Life by Steve Brezenoff :)
I don't really like to plan, I just read whatever I feel like. However, I'm definitely going to prioritise some books I was sent for review :)

I get what you mean! I like to plan because it helps me prioritize books I bought earlier over books I just got.

I love that book! I even reread it this year, which got me into a major Kody Keplinger marathon. Not technically under hyped, but still an awesome read!

I have several books that have less than 5000 ratings on goodreads, so I'll be reading as many of them as I can.
I have Slayed by Amanda Marrone, The Panda's Thumb by Stephen Jay Gould, Colonization by Aubrie Dionne, My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi and Zombiecorns by John Green. We'll see how well I do!

Nice list! Do let me know if you liked them—especially My Life After Now and maybe Slayed, too. Good luck!

I'm just reading from pretty much anything on my shelf because most of the books I own are not popular ones.

I will also try to get through the ones I already own before buying more. Hope you enjoy them!
I plan to read so many but my main priority is the druids doorway
