    August Reading Plans – ARC August!

    It’s somehow August already and I’m switching from no TBR to ridiculously ambitious TBR, especially considering how little I’ve been reading recently. But never mind!

  • June Reading Plans

    June Reading Plans

    I’m not calling this month a TBR because I think everything going on this list I am already reading… June is a month for trying to finish what I’ve already started.

  • May 2023 TBR

    I said in my Goals post that I am aiming for at least 50% of the books I read each month to be from my owned backlist… except this month… I move at the end of May and I have a lot of books out from the library that I need to take back before Continue reading
