tbr: july/august 2019

I didn’t get through any of the books in my May/June TBR, although I’m still holding on to hope that I might! I’ve included the 1 books that I really want to read to this list again!! I shortened my TBR to 3 series this time because I don’t want to pressure myself too much but I also want to try.

1. A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab

Still desperately hoping I’ll get through ADSOM because I love the world after reading the first 100 pages but why can’t I get through it IDK

2. Nevernight by Jay Kristoff

I wanted to read this as soon as I realised it was about assassins! I’ve also heard great things about the writer and the rating on Goodreads (above 4.3) tells me that this almost definitely will be a good book. I have such high hopes~

3. The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend

I read a review that this had an early Harry Potter vibe. I’m usually doubtful of such claims but I’m also very interested in the blurb so I’m going to try it out.


Again, I might not get to any of these books. I told myself that ultimately I read to feel happy. If ticking off my TBR list is burdensome at any point then I would just leave it. But it’s still always fun to make these lists and hope!!

tbr: may/june 2019

I thought it would be most appropriate to begin this blog with hope. Hence, my first post will have to be a list of the books that I definitely want to read by June 2019.

1. A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab

I’ve been trying to read ADSOM since 2018 but I never got past the first 100 pages. I know it’s a good book and I’m in love with everything already (from the writing to the characters and the world building) but I can never read it fast enough so here’s hoping that I’ll finish it by June 2019.

2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I recently finished Carry On by the same author and since the books have a little bit of connection I decided to give Fangirl a reread. I’m quite excited because I’ve been in the mood for some sweet contemporaries.

3. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I’ve attempted to read Illuminae for a really long time but the epub file always crashes my phone and alas there was finally a copy available at the library which I quickly snatched up. I should at least finish Illuminae given that it is due pretty soon.

4. A Study of Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about this book but I saw it at the library and it seemed interesting enough so I do have hope. At the very least, I’m sure it will be an adorable read (plus a touch of mystery).


My TBR will probably change rapidly and I may update this list as I see fit. Or I might just post a round-up at the end of May and June and see which adventures I’ve delved into during each month.
