Monthly TBR – September 2023

A new month means it is time for a new TBR. I’m doing things a bit differently this time. I usually set a TBR of 8-10 books. However, I almost always read more than that number. So, I’ve decided to split things into a ‘need to read’ pile and a possibility pile for mood reading. I’m sure I’ll probably also read stuff that isn’t listed anywhere in this post, as well, but these are the books I’d definitely like to get to this month.

Monthly TBR – August 2023

August is always a really busy month, but it is one of my favorites. Why? Magical Readathon and Trope-ical Readathon both take place this month. These are my fave readathons, and I haven’t missed a round since I started blogging. So, I can’t start now. My plans for the month are AMBITIOUS, but I’m going in hoping for the best. 😁

Book Haul – June 2023

June was a bit of an odd month. I didn’t add nearly as many books to my physical shelves as I usually do. Thank goodness! However, I did get plenty of great ARCs that will keep me busy through the end of the year. I also picked up a lot of free ebooks from Stuff Your Kindle Day and two giveaways that I won. Those books aren’t included in this haul, though, because there were so many that it would have made this post impossible to finish. lol. I will probably do a separate post for them at some point this month, but we’ll see. Without further ado, here are the ARCs, books, and library acquisitions I got my hands on in June.

Pride Flag Book Tag (2023)

How is it already the end of June?! For this last day of Pride month, I wanted to do something to celebrate before the month is over. I found this tag created by Common Spence on Youtube a couple years ago and thought it would be fun to re-visit it to update my answers. You can find my first attempt at this tag here. I’ll be picking books that I think embody the meanings of each of the colors in the Pride flag. You can find out more about a book by clicking on its cover, which will take you to the book’s Goodreads page.

Blog Tour Spotlight – Savage Crowns

Hello, everyone! Today is my stop on the blog tour for Savage Crowns by Matt Wallace. I’m excited to spotlight this recent fantasy release and the entire series. It sounds absolutely epic, and the story is now complete. So, if it sounds like something you’d be into, you can binge the entire thing! I know that is what I’ll be doing. 🙂 I’ve included purchase links and a link to the Goodreads page of each book in an effort to make it simple for you all to add them to your TBR. Be on the lookout because I will have reviews up (hopefully) soon.

Book Haul – May 2023

I think it is safe to say I have a serious problem. lol. May’s book haul was my biggest ever. I bought quite a few books while in Boston, so many I almost had to buy more luggage to carry them back home. I also received some special editions I’ve been waiting on for a while, and I may have splurged on another B&N trip. Book Outlet had another sale, which added even more to this pile, and several publishers reached out to me about physical ARCs that I couldn’t pass up. I’m going to be quiet now and just get to the books because this post is already going to be long enough…

Monthly TBR – June 2023

Hello, everyone! Happy Pride month! My TBR, and my reading in general, is usually super gay anyway, but this month will be EXTRA SUPER GAY. 😁🌈 It is so gay, in fact, that it cannot be contained in one post. lol. I’m being super ambitious this month and choosing 15 books to read. You’ll find the first 10 down below, and the last five will be revealed in next week’s Top 5 Tuesday post. So, stay tuned.

Monthly TBR – May 2023

Hello, everyone! April is almost behind us, which means it is time to look forward to what I hope to read in May. I’ve decided to prioritize eight books this month and just stick with a regular TBR. Typically, I participate in the May the Force Read with You Readathon in May, but I’m honestly feeling a bit burnt out on readathons after Tropeical Readathon in March and Magical Readathon in April. Hopefully, I’ll also get some mood reading done in addition to the eight books I’m prioritizing. We’ll see, though, because I’m headed out for vacation in a couple of days. So, I’m not sure how much reading I’ll be getting done over the next couple of weeks. Here are the eight books I’ve chosen for this month:

Book Haul – April 2023

I was really hoping to slow down on getting new books this month. I was actually doing pretty good until I became obsessed with The Raven Boys and ordered the entire series and an associated trilogy. Then things really went off the rails with two B&N visits within the last week in addition to ordering several special editions online. I was so close to making it until the end of the month. I went over 20 DAYS without going into a bookshop. Unfortunately, it only seems to have made the rebound even worse. lol. I did check fewer things out from the library, though, and only bought a few ebooks/audiobooks that were on sale or could be purchased with credits. ARCs weren’t totally out of control either, but I did get a few more than last month. All in all, I’m happy with what I’ve got. I just wish I’d managed a little more self control, which is the story of my life when it comes to books. 🙂
