In the year of our Lord 2019, I’ve been trying to make my TBR a little less unwieldy. My Goodreads TBR is all of the books (owned and not) that I want to read in the coming year (or two). For a while, that TBR stood at 177 books. But as someone who reads about… Continue reading “I’m just never going to read that” // Books I’ve recently taken off my TBR
I’ve got some exciting reading planned for November, but I’m only setting myself a gentle TBR. (By gentle, I mean not set in stone.) I’ve been finding more and more recently that I want to mood read, so I’m going to give myself the chance to do that this month. Below are some of books… Continue reading November 2019 TBR // A mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary

Sometimes we hold ourselves to such high targets that any time we read less than seven or eight books in a month (or… Continue reading September 2019 Wrap Up // A slow kind of month
A September, my fateful foe. I like September itself, but I don’t like what it heralds: the end of summer. Summer is my favourite season, so when the nights start to cut in and it gets colder, I’m just a sad bean. (I want to be warm all the time and to be able to wear… Continue reading September 2019 TBR // Autumn, audiobooks, and ‘big hitters’
August was a bit of a YALC-comedown month. I was definitely feeling the post-convention lull, but I decided to take part in ARC August to get through some of the books I picked up. And I mostly succeeded. I read four ARCs/advance copies and three previously-published books, making my total number of books for the… Continue reading August 2019 Wrap Up // ARCs, new favourites, and trades
