April TBR!

Happy Friday bookish People! So, it is April already and with that it comes time to share my TBR for the month with you.

Recently, I have been focusing on reading mysteries and crime fiction and they’re all blending into one now so I read some historical fiction and some non-fiction in March and then I went to Gollanczfest and now I am completely in the fantasy mood. To read it and to write it. So, as you can probably tell my April TBR is full of fantasy!

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew

The Stolen Heir by Holly Black

Way of the Argosi by Sebastien de Castell

Kingdom of the Feared by Kerri Maniscalco

What are you all hoping to read during April?

March TBR

Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today.

March is a good month, and I’m not just being biased because it is my birthday month, it is the month when spring starts and all the flowers come out.

These are the books I want to try and read in March:

  • Helle and Death by Oskar Jensen – I have seen a lot of people excited about this book and it features a lot of the elements I am discussing in my PhD so I am looking forward to reading it.
  • You’d Look Better As A Ghost by Joanna Wallace – I love the sound of this one just by the title
  • Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel – I love a Tudor historical fiction and I started reading this a while back but never finished it because of everything going on back then but now I am in a better place and I am excited to read it.
  • From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L Armentrout – a good fantasy to clear the palate from all the crime fiction I have been reading.
  • Knife Skills for Beginners by Orlando Murrin – a new cosy style crime fiction book

That’s what I want to read in March, what are you all planning on reading next month?

January TBR

Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today.

Today I am sharing what I hope to be reading during January 2024, let me know if you have read any of these books and what you thought of them!

Grave Expectations by Alice Bell

I am very intrigued by this book, I love a good murder mystery especially when they have something a bit different about them and this book definitely does. A traditional manor murder mystery with the twist of the investigator being a psychic, I am looking forward to reading it.

The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

I am very excited to read this one. It sounds like a rich adult fantasy that I could get engrossed in easily.

The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St James

I have wanted this book for a while, I saw lots of people talking about it a while back. It sounds slightly spook but very interesting.

The Housekeepers by Alex Hay

This is another book I have wanted for a long time and I was excited to get it for Christmas. I am actually reading it right now, I am about 40 or so pages in and I am hooked. It is about a group of women who are all connected as they are or were once staff in this particular house on Park Lane and they plan to stage a heist in that house while a ball is happening. I love a good heist plot so I have high hopes for this book.

What Would Jane Austen Do?

To be honest I don’t know a lot about this book, I know that it follows two neighbors and one is a romance writer and one is a crime fiction writer, I think? That sounds intriguing to me but it’s not a book I think I am going to love, we shall see.

Manslaughter Park by Tirzah Price

This is the third book in the Jane Austen inspired murder mystery series and this one is based on Mansfield Park, following Fanny Price. I have loved the previous two books in this series so I hope I will love this one just as much.
