I thought this post could be fun since I haven’t written one in a while! I’ll feature books on my TBR that fall into these categories as well as some tried-and-true favorites for recommendations. Timey TBR Books I did my best to categorize these but obviously there’s some overlap for certain books. I consider there to be 4-5 main categories of timey-wimey books and will explain them in each section below!

On My Christmas List I put these five single books on my Christmas list and in the process of checking Amazon, I may have spoiled which ones were purchased lol. Oh well. I also added the TOG boxed set because I only read these from the library and I don’t even think I own them on my Kindle.

I’m hoping to get a B&N gift card because I don’t buy books from Amazon as a general rule but we’ll see what people do for me lol.

I’m halfway through A WINTER WISH and unfortunately my Libby book got sent back to the library when I turned off airplane mode lol it was on sale so I bought a physical copy and it arrives tonight so I can finish soon.

I think I’ll actually end the year on THE SONGBIRD OF THE HEART AND STONE because it’s a fantasy that I can take my time with, once my holiday reading is done. These are the final three short stories […]
