Monthly TBR – March 2023 (Trope-ical Readathon)

March 2, 2023 biblionerdreflections10 Comments

I can’t believe it is already time for another round of Trope-ical Readathon. It seems like August was just yesterday. I’ve decided to switch things up this time and join a different team, Team Science Fiction. I’ve always been on Team Fantasy in the past, but I liked the prompts better for Team Sci Fi this time. For the last Trope-ical Readathon, I didn’t set a specific TBR. Instead, I filled in the challenges as I went along throughout the month rather than picking specific books for the prompts the way I usually have in the past. This worked really well for me last time since it was the first time I’ve finished all the challenges. So, I’m going to proceed the same way again.The general and team prompts are in the graphics below, and more information about this readathon can be found at Jen Jen Reviews. If you are interested in participating, you have until March 5 to sign up!

It is almost time for the best month of the year! Why is it the best? February is my birthday month. 🙂 Seriously though… I can’t believe January is already over, but that means it is time for a new TBR. I always love looking forward to what I plan to read. So, let’s get down to it.

Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 Anticipated Reads for Jan-Mar 2023

January 3, 2023 biblionerdreflections7 Comments

This week’s topic is top 5 anticipated reads for Jan-Mar 2023. There are a lot of great books coming out this first quarter of 2023. I tried to focus mostly on February and March releases because I’ve got another post coming later this week devoted entirely to my anticipated reads for January, but I think one of them found its way in here too because I’m really looking forward to it.

Monthly TBR – January 2023

Along with being a new year, it is also a new month, which means it is time for a new TBR. I forgot to include my Reindeer Readathon results in my wrap-up post yesterday. So, I’ll include them here before moving on to the new TBR. I finished each of the prompts, but I swapped books liberally. lol. Much of the original TBR didn’t get read. Here’s what did:

Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 Books of 2022

December 27, 2022 biblionerdreflections21 Comments

This week’s topic is top 5 books of 2022. I’ve read so many amazing books this year. I’ve read more than ever before, which makes the task of picking 5 books extremely hard. In an effort to help make the task a bit easier, I’m narrowing this list to books released in 2022, excluding Star Wars books. Backlist books and Star Wars titles will be getting their own ‘best of’ posts over the next few days. So, be on the lookout for more lists!

Year’s End NetGalley Check-In – 2022

December 24, 2022 biblionerdreflections4 Comments

One of my main goals this year was to get to 50 NetGalley reviews and an 80% feedback ratio. I’ve actually gotten up to 99 reviews, and my feedback ratio is holding steady at 80%. So, I’ve met and surpassed my goal. It has been a truly great year, and I’m so grateful to all the publishers that provided advanced copies for me to review. I hoped to have all of my 2022 ARCs read before the end of the year, but I’ve still got two left. I’ve also got so many great 2023 releases to dive into, and I’m very excited about all of them. Believe it or not… This was me being reserved in my requests. lol. I’m not sure what my target for 2023 will be yet, but regardless of my goals, I’ve got some great 2023 reads to look forward to.

This week’s topic is top 5 new authors of 2022. This is seriously impossible to narrow down to five authors. I’ve read SO MANY new and new to me authors this year, and I loved so many of them. So, I’m just going to do the first five that catch my eye as I scroll through my Goodreads challenge for this year. Here we go with some of my favorite books by new (to me) authors!

Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 Books I Meant to Read in 2022

December 6, 2022 biblionerdreflections5 Comments

Hello, everyone! I’m actually participating in Top 5 Tuesday for TWO WEEKS IN A ROW. This is quite the accomplishment for my lazy self. lol. Meeghan is coming out of the gate swinging this month with the brutal topic first. I guess it is best to rip the bandaid off quick so we can move on to more happy year-end topics. 🙂 This week’s topic is top 5 books I meant to read in 2022. The actual answer is probably ALL OF THEM (or close to it), but I was able to pick out 5 that I’m disappointed the most about punting to 2023. Stay tuned after these five letdowns for a special treat that will hopefully lighten the mood! Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, and is now being hosted at Meeghan Reads!

December 1, 2022 biblionerdreflections8 Comments

How is it already the last month of the year?! Time sure does fly. For the next 31 days, I’ll be scrambling to finish some of my annual goals, as well as my BBNYA finalist books. I’m also going to be participating in the Reindeer Readathon again. I loved doing this one last year and have been looking forward to it for the last couple of months.
