#5OnMyTBR – Title Starting With ‘D’


#5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook where you chose five books from your to-be-read pile that fit that week’s theme. If you’d like more info, head over to the announcement post!


Hello, reader!

Happy Monday to everyone! The weather is starting to warm up here in New England and it makes my soul happy! I’m not made for cold weather, y’all. And, yet, I willingly moved to Massachusetts… make it make sense 😂 Anyways, enough about my excitement about warmer temps. It’s time for another 5 On My TBR! This week, I’ll be featuring five books that have titles that start with ‘D’ that are high on my TBR pile. I have a lot more than five, but these are the ones that I’m the most excited about at the moment.

With that said, let’s get to the list!


#1. A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth

I’m a little embarrassed that this book is still on my to be read list. When it came out, I was so hyped to pick it up! Though fae stories are not typically my thing, this one is queer. Color me intrigued! Also, there’s a woman with a sword on the cover looking like she could murder me with a thought. What more do I need to be excited to read this? Now I just need to actually do it, haha.


#2. Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Now that I’ve finally dipped my toes into Blake Crouch’s writing, I’m eager to read more. I thoroughly enjoyed Upgrade, so I want to get to more of his backlist books. Dark Matter is actually the first Blake Crouch book to end up on my TBR and yet I still haven’t picked it up. Because of who I am as a person 😂 Either way, I’m excited to read this sci-fi thriller and continue my Blake Crouch journey!


#3. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I do love when a BIPOC author takes an old classic and plays with it. That’s how The Daughter of Doctor Moreau initially ended up on my TBR. Then I saw the cover and it was over… I had to read it! Of course, it’s still chilling on the TBR because I have the attention span of a squirrel. I can and will be distracted by new and shiny things. BUT! I’m still eager to pick this one up and give it a go.


#4. Descendant of the Crane by Joan He

Joan He is an author that I’ve been following for awhile. Ever since I heard of Descendant of the Crane, I’ve been intrigued by her novels. And, yet, I still haven’t read any of them! This one remains on the top of my list of her books I want to read despite being the only one I don’t own, heh. But it sounds so incredible! I’m hoping to read this one soon.


#5. Don’t Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones

Of all the books on this list, this is the one I want to read the most! This is the sequel to My Heart is a Chainsaw, which was one of the weirdest horror novels I read last year. And I loved it. I need to know what Jade gets herself into next. It’s also the newest and shiniest and I’ve already mentioned how easily distracted I am 😂 I’m hoping this is just as odd as the first book.


What are some books with titles that start with ‘D’ that are on your TBR? Have you read any of the books on mine? Let me know in the comments!

And, as always, happy reading!
