January 2024 TBR



 Hello, my fellow readers. We're so close to the new year. I'm excited about beginning the new year with many new and backlist books I've been meaning to read. 

Starting with my monthly book challenge TBR. The prompts for this are:

New to Author: Dragonfall by L. R. Lim

Most recent purchase: Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare

The most recent book on your TBR: Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun Vol 19 by Aidalro

Continue/Finish a series: A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley

Comfort read (a reread or a book by an author you loved): The Anatomist's Wife by Anna Lee Huber

Book set during your favorite season: TBD (To Be Determined) 



For my TBR game, Shuffle: 

Random Color on Cover (Green) Witcha Gonna Do? by Avery Flynn

Previous TBR pick: The Tiger's Daughter by K. Arsenault Rivera 

Least read genre (Non-Fiction): To Be Determined

One Word Title: Dragonfall by L. R. Lim

Genre Wheel (Horror): Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington

Finally, for this month's trope for this month's Trope Tuesday will be retellings. I think I'm going to read specifically Beauty & The Beast retellings: 

For the Wolf and For the Throne by Hannah Whitten (both rereads)

Curse of the Wolf King by Tessonja Odette

For the rest of this month, I can already tell it's gonna be part mood reading and part focusing on my goals for the new year. One of the ways I also plan on doing this is by participating in readathons that also have this mind, specifically TBRaThon created by Leandra the TBR zero. I highly recommend checking out the announcement video. 

I'm also planning on participating in the next round of Once Upon a Readathon. I'm gonna be on Team Ice Princesses. 

What's on your January TBR? Are you participating in any readathons? Let me know in the comments.

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...
