TBRaThon January 2024

 Hello, my fellow readers, I've just heard there is going to be a new month-long readathon that I can't wait to happen and that is TBRathon created by Booktuber Leandra The TBR Zero. 

I love readathons because they can range from very mood or free-form-based to where there may be some very vague prompts or they can be very specific for certain tropes or types of books. This seems like to be a bit more on the former side as there are multiple ways you can approach the books you are reading. This readathon is all about starting the new year off right and getting a solid hold on your TBR. I can personally say my TBR has been and will probably always be out of control with the number of books I want to read, but I've slowly come to accept that about myself and as a reader. However, that doesn't stop me from setting reading goals for myself each and this readathon sounds just like the thing I need to start the new year off the way I want and try to get to a moderate to good place with my TBR, at least for the next year. 

Now as I mentioned the creator of this readathon has offered multiple templates to approach this readathon. I, for one, have chosen a few, and being the completionist that I am no doubt will try to find a way to complete the ones I've chosen. If you go to the Google Drive link offered in the announcement video you'll find all the templates Leandra mentions. I personally have chosen the Bingo Board, the Scavenger Hunt, the To Be Rolled board, and the Map Route. Each of these templates and more offers prompts that range from vague to specific. This readathon takes place from January 1st to 31st. That's all the information I want to offer because I want everyone to get a chance to check this video out themselves. 

Are you interested in taking part in this readathon? What board or boards are you interested in using during this readathon?

December 2023 TBR

Hello, my fellow readers, somehow it's December. It's always interesting when coming up with monthly or seasonal TBRs because if I haven't said the words, I'm very much a mood reader, and different months or seasons throughout the year evoke different moods for reading. Fall is always in this interesting in-between where I want to read and/or continue the major book releases in summer while shifting into more paranormal, fantasy, or mystery/thriller reads that give you that spine-tingling feeling of the fall season. Winter, for me, is still in that realm because I do still to a degree have an interest in reading all of those genres and more, but I think I am definitely, as evidenced by my current TBR, looking to have most of my books be in a more cozy mood.   So to start, and I should add there may be repeats for some lists such as my TBR games because the TBR deities were somewhat kind to me this month with the prompts I got.  So first for my monthly book challenge ...

Tales of a Returning Historical Romance Reader

 Hello, my fellow readers, you know that feeling when you discover a new favorite book, author, or genre? I think the only better or could come as close as that is when you rediscover your love for one or all of those things. Recently, I have been rediscovering how much I love historical romance. Thanks to the power of read-a-thons and my monthly TBR games I have had the opportunity to reread some of the series that made me fall in love with historical romance in the first place, but I've also had the opportunity to discover some newly found favorites.  The series that I had an opportunity to reread was Sarah MacLean's Bareknuckle Bastards series.       If these gorgeous covers by themselves weren't enough to make anyone want to read these books, these books feature some of the most well-written, well-rounded female characters I've read in historical romance to date. Not only that, but they also have the most cinnamon rolls of all cinnamon rolls when i...
