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.
May TBR
Reading my summary here from the April TBR post was depressing. I wanted to get back to reading more than 8-9 books a month and instead I read half of that. Genuinely so sad. My reading slump continues. I know my life is going to get crazier over the next few months so I should be nice to be myself but I hope I can get back to reading more.
Review Copies
A couple of holdovers from last month that I didn’t get to thanks to my slump – THE SEVEN O’CLOCK CLUB and A PROPOSAL TO DIE FOR. The rest of these come out in the month of May so I really hope to get on track with my egalleys. I’ve honestly done better in 2025 than other years but April/May being huge release months combined with me not reading much… not a recipe for success.
Preorders & New Releases
I’ve preordered THE MISSING HALF and ONE GOLDEN SUMMER and those arrive within the next week or two. I plan to buy NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE AT THIS WEDDING on or near release day because I really am trying to be better about balancing between preordering to support authors and going to a local indie on release day for the fun of it. I always find myself at a bookstore with no idea what to buy because I’ve preordered all my upcoming releases.
Mystery/Thriller Book Club
This book has been on my TBR for a while so I’m glad to be pushed to read it! I haven’t loved all of the books we’ve read that weren’t already on my TBR. Maybe this will be a good one despite the mid ratings.
