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.
Read More »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:
Read More »I am SO excited. This month I get to participate in another of my favorite readathons, Magical Readathon. I’ve spent a lot of time developing my character for this readathon, and I’m looking forward to attending another term at Orilium with him. For more information on my character, Padwin, you can visit my character introduction post. In short, he is attending the academy to learn how to be a Dream Walker and originally hails from a underground kingdom filled with libraries. He doesn’t really like open spaces and prefers books to people while also longing to understand them (kind of like me. lol). He must successfully pass seven classes to complete this term. Each of them is associated with a particular prompt. Here are the books I’ve chosen:

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!

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.

Read More »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:
Read More »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!

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.
Read More »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 was created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, and is now being hosted at Meeghan Reads!
