Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them?
Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you are all doing well today. It is October, the colder weather is drawing in quickly and I for one am feeling all comfy and cosy in jumpers, curled up with books and tea. Spring might be my favourite season because of all the flowers but Autumn has to be a close second.
Anyway, what are you all up to at the moment? I am spending October finishing up and submitting my PhD which has been a long time coming, but during that I have a lot of waiting around time in between – waiting for feedback etc. So, that means a lot of free time to be reading and I’ll need a good TBR.
What are you all planning on reading in October?
TBR
Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas – I am enjoying my trip through the Throne of Glass series and I have just finished Queen of Shadows and will be moving onto the next book. I will not be doing the tandem read, one huge book at a time is enough for me.
The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent – I have been looking forward to reading this one for a while and I think October is the right time to be reading about vampires.
Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson – this book has been on my bookshelf for years and I haven’t got around to it yet but I have loved both of her other books and loved them so I have high hopes for this one.
Close To Death by Anthony Horowitz – I find his books to be very hit and miss, some I enjoy and some I do not so we shall see how this one goes, the premise looks enjoyable.
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo – oh, here we go. Another book I have had for a long time, I need to read it to see if it is worth finishing off the series.
Hex Appeal by Kate Johnson – a romance with a little bit of magic involved, I am not usually a fan of romance novels so this could be light and fluffy to break up all the fantasy but I might not love it.
The Thirteenth Child by Erin A Craig – this one looks really dark and gothic so I am excited about that but I don’t know a lot about the actual premise, it will be a nice surprise.
Pandora by Susan Stokes-Chapman – I have been excited for this since I got it but I have been waiting for the right time to read it and I think October might be it.
The Coven by Harper L Woods – what better time to read a spooky, witchy book than halloween.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them?
Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today. It is September, and that means it is time to talk about the books I am planning on reading this month.
The Killer Question by Janice Hallett
Murder in the Countryside by Helena Dixon
Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas
Us In Ruins by Rachel Moore
Listen For The Lie by Amy Tintera
I Hope You’re Listening by Tom Ryan
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid
This month is a bit of a mix for me, its some books that I am excited to get reading but also others that I have had on my shelves for years and I need to get to them to see if I like them, I have less excitement for these but I still want to give them a chance.
What are you reading in September? Have you read any of these books, what did you think of them?
Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you are all having a wonderful day today. It is August, the middle of the summer holidays in the UK, and time to pick what books I will be reading this month. Or hopefully reading at least. I have a few things to be doing during the month: my PhD work, redecorating the dining room, taking a trip to see family in Hampshire, it is going to be a busy month. Which means I need some good books to get me through it. For some reason, summer months I get really into reading fantasy, their covers give Autumn vibes, but I love reading them in summer so you won’t be surprised to know the bulk of my reading is fantasy this month.
A Curse For True Love by Stephanie Garber
Fearless by Lauren Roberts
Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
This Monster of Mine
Knife Skills for Beginners by Orlando Murrin
A Novel Murder
How To Seal Your Own Fate by Kristen Perrin
I have also put together a small list of books I would also like to get to but only if I have time, which are: Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas which was on July’s TBR but I ran out of time, A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas, Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, The Stolen Heir by Holly Black, A Gift of Poison by Bella Ellis and the Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping.
Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today and a lovely summer. I can’t believe it is summer already, half the year is gone.
Today I am sharing my TBR for the month of July, there are so many books that I want to read right now it was hard to choose. What are you looking forward to reading in July?
Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today. As I’m writing this I have to say I’m feeling the stress right now but at least picking what books I am going to read next is a fun thing to be doing. Gets me excited about my books, anybody else?
What do you guys plan on reading this month?

Happy Monday bookish people! How are you all doing today? It is May and that means it is time to share the books I hope to read this month. May is full of all sorts of things happening so I have chosen books that I am very excited to read and I have only chosen a few so that it doesn’t feel too overwhelming. I am hoping that six will be the perfect amount.
What are you planning on reading in May?
MAY TBR:
The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber
Crown Of Midnight by Sarah J Maas
Library Of Shadows by Rachel Moore
The Murder Hypothesis by Sarah Wishart
The Secret Service of Tea And Treason by India Holton
Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today. It is already April, I don’t know about anyone else but that has snuck up on me. What are you planning to read this month?
For this month I have tried to put together books that are a mix of genres so that I can have something fresh in between the big fantasy books.
Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you are all having a great start to the month of March.
It is time for me to share my TBR for the month and I have given myself some book choices this month because I am travelling with a friend to London for a weekend and I need some good books for travelling in the car. Onto the TBR!
A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas
This is the fifth book in the ACOTAR series and it will bring me up to date with the series until the next book comes out and also it will tick off some of my 50 books to read this year list.
Powerful by Lauren Roberts
This is the novella that goes alongside the first book in the series, powerless, following one of the side characters and I am looking forward to reading it then reading Reckless in April before the final book comes out that month but I have to say I didn’t love the character this one follows so we shall see what I think of it.
Murder in First Class by Helena Dixon
The next book in the Miss Kitty Underhay mystery series, I am reading one of these every month so soon I will have finished the series which is heartbreaking but also quite satisfying.
Throne of Secrets by Kerri Maniscalco
This is the second book in the princes of sin series, the spin off series from Kingdom of the Wicked, these books are SO good. I can’t explain anything about this series as its a spin off of the other and it would spoil things but all I can say is everyone should read these books. I will read anything Kerri Maniscalco writes.
The Village Library Demon Hunting Society by
I have no idea what this book is about really but it said something about a mystery and it has the word library on the cover so I am intrigued to read this book.
The Last Word is Death by Faith Martin
After reading the first in the series, Murder by Candlelight, in February and devouring it in a night I am excited to jump straight into the next one in the series.
The Dog Sitter Detective Plays Dead by Antony Johnston
This is the third book in the Dog Sitter Detective, a modern cosy mystery series that I like, I am looking forward to reading this but I am hesitant because there is a side character who keeps appearing and I don’t really like him so I will see how I feel after this book.
