April TBR 2021

theblindscribe

Happy Wednesday bookish people! It’s already April and the spring flowers are starting to bloom. I read a very good amount of books in March, twelve I think, and I’m hoping April will be just as successful. I’ve already read one of the books off my April TBR yesterday and I enjoyed it. Once again I’ve given myself a huge TBR, because of course. Outside of my TBR I have some books to read for some exciting book tours that I can’t say anything about just yet…

Onto my TBR!

  • Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles – I’ve realised pretty recently that anything to do with circus elements and I’m already excited for the story so this could end up being a new favourite!
  • The Cousins by Karen M McManus – I read this yesterday evening because I was drawn in by the blurb and I really enjoyed it, I ended up giving it four stars and if you’re interested in reading my thoughts on it I’ll be putting a book review up very soon.
  • The Strange Case of the Alchemists Daughter by Theodora Goss – I saw Meg With Books on YouTube talk about this series and I thought the premise sounded so interesting, I can’t wait to start reading this series!
  • Furyborn by Claire LeGrand – I’m not sure on this book, it’s a chunky book.. anyone else find big books intimidating?
  • A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas – after reading A Court of Thorns and Roses earlier this year I’m so looking forward to reading the next book in the series – I need more Rhysand!
  • Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin – Oh I’ve been looking forward to this one! I’ve heard such good things about it and also from what I’ve heard the dialogue between Lou and Reid sound very cheeky, which I know I’ll love, and it’s enemies to lovers (one of my favourite tropes).
  • Wicked Saints by Emily A Duncan – I must admit I don’t know much about this book, at all. I don’t know the plot or the character names… this is going to be an interesting read..
  • Blood Heir by Amilie Wen Zhao – Again I don’t know much about this book but I got it in one of my previous Illumicrate boxes and the cover caught my interest.
  • Save the Date by Morgan Matson – after how much I liked Fangirl I’ve decided that I obviously need to give contemporary books more of a chance so hopefully I’ll enjoy it.
  • The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller – this book caught my attention because of the first line and I think the protagonist is going to be unusual and probably morally grey. I love morally grey characters.
  • Master of One by Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett – I’m thinking this could be a five stars for me because Fae, and it gives me big Six of Crows vibes…
  • All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace – Pirates. That’s all I’m going to say about this one.
  • The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes – I love a good mystery book and I’ve heard really good things about this one.

That’s it for my April TBR, let me know if you’ve read any of these and what you thought of them! At the end of April I will post a wrap up and we will see how well I did or not.

March TBR

theblindscribe

Happy 1st of March. This year is going so fast!
So… last month’s reading was pretty poor but this month seems to be going better already. The 1st of March and I read the first book on my TBR this morning and I must say it was an enjoyable read. I’ve given myself a huge TBR so hopefully I’ll make it through at least most of them before this month is out.

March is a great month, and not just because it’s got my birthday in it…. Okay that’s probably the main reason but also- there’s six of my highly anticipated books of 2021 coming out this month.
Exciting!
I’ll list them at the end of this post so if you’re interested in that keep reading until the end.

So, onto my TBR!

  • What A Way To Go by Julia Forster – I anticipate this being a three star for me
  • Uprooted by Naomi Novik – This could well be a four star, I’ve heard great things about it
  • The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige – I’m not sure if I will enjoy this book or not. I got it in an Illumicrate box and I know it has witches in it so fingers crossed I will enjoy it.
  • The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman – does anybody else LOVE books about books? and libraries of course. This book should be right up my alley.
  • Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson – I do like a good murder mystery… maybe a four star.
  • The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater – I have been putting off reading this book for over a year and I think it’s about time I read it.
  • The Once and Future Witches by Alix E Harrow – I really enjoyed her first book the Ten Thousand Doors of January so hopefully this one will be the same amount of enjoyment if not more.
  • Nine Perfect Strangers by Lianne Moriarty – again, love a good murder mystery, and I heard that Luke Evans has been cast for a TV/film version of this book so that will be interesting.
  • The Map of Days by Ransom Riggs – I have all of the Miss Peregrines books and I cannot wait tog et back into that world.
  • The Lives of Saints by Leigh Bardugo – I have actually read this at five am this morning and I rated it four stars. I will put up a book review of it very soon!
  • The Library of the Unwritten by A J Hackwith – Libraries?! I’m there!
  • Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu – My friend bought me this because it sounded good so I am looking forward to seeing if I find it as good as it sounds.
  • Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare – I have Chain of Iron on pre-order so I think it’s time I dive into this first book.
  • Finally, A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – okay I will admit it – this was definitely a cover buy but I am very interested in the story as well.

Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare
Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo
Sweet and Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley
Ravage the Dark by Tara Sim
The Queen’s Secret by Melissa De La Cruz
