My monthly TBR feature here shows my progress based on last month’s TBR, my plans for this month, and anything else I might be thinking about from a reading perspective. Sometimes I feature a little poll at the bottom so you guys can help me figure out a certain title I should read from a group of books. September TBR My main goal for August was to catch up on some ARCs – I was hoping that 80% of the books I read would be ARCs, or at least 8 books (assuming I’d read around 10). At the time of writing this, I’ve read 5 so hopefully I can sneak in a couple more. Library September I decided that after focusing on ARCs for August, I would focus on my library books for September! It’s not as catchy of a name but whatever. Below are the books I currently have checked out. I know I won’t end up reading all of them but my plan is to prioritize some of the overdue books first and then work my way through in somewhat “due date order.” I don’t think I need to be as aggressive in this one – about half of my library books could or should be read in September, so hoping for 5-6! That order would be: VENCO (already returned this because it was overdue and I now have a Kindle copy), A CURIOUS BEGINNING, KINGDOM OF ASH, THE FIREFLY SUMMER, DROWNING, LITTLE SECRETS, DIVINE RIVALS, THE FAIRY […]

I recently developed a way to track all of my series, which has definitely been helpful and interesting! I kind of audited where I was with a bunch of them and tracked if I do an okay job of finishing them. I’ve had the numbers adjust just a little bit since February. Right now, 50% of my series are completed, 17% have been started (only one book read), 18% are ongoing (I’ve read more than one book in it), and 15% of them are no longer of interest to me. Not too shabby, honestly. It would be great to finish more without starting a bunch but who can resist that siren song? I thought it would be fun to share some series I hope to start, finish, and everything in between before the end of the year. New to Binge   I’ve had these two series on my radar for a while and it’s finally time to read them! I plan to read all three books in the ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART trilogy when the third book comes out in October. I own the first two and just want to read all three in a row. THE NATURALS was recently redesigned and rereleased so I made it a point to buy all of them right away. I had been planning to track down older copies and researched it many times before learning of the new covers! I definitely know I’ll want to read all four of these in a row […]

I know I’m going to get to the end of the year and have a ton of books left on my list to read but hopefully this guides me a little bit! I always make anticipated release lists or TBRs each month/season, but I’ve been fresh out of blog post ideas lately and this seemed like a good option to share! I also made the decision to not include any holiday books or cookbooks on here just for the sake of not adding one million books lol. Already Out & Priority 2023 Releases All That’s Left to Say by Lord // I’ve been a huge fan of hers for years and am always anxiously awaiting her next book. This one sounds like a contemporary/mystery and I’m excited for it. Business or Pleasure by Solomon // Another author I adore and can’t wait to read! I’m shocked I didn’t read this earlier in the year actually. None of This is True by Jewell // This has gotten super high ratings so far and I made sure to include it in my BOTM box! I read and liked one of her other books but hopefully this segues into more of her backlist as well. Wrong Place, Wrong Time by McAllister // McAllister’s debut is one of my favorite thrillers so I have super high expectations for this one! Also snagged it for my BOTM selection. One of Us is Back by McManus // My favorite YA mystery/thriller author! Really excited to get back into the Bayview world. […]
