#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!
It’s time for another 5 On My TBR! And this week’s topic definitely had me rethinking my life choices, lol. Why? Because it’s all about books on your TBR that you’ve already bought, so I went about updating my physical TBR bookshelf on Goodreads. Guess how many books there are? 406! And I don’t think I actually got them all! At least I had plenty of books from which to choose for this 5 On My TBR, right? Hahahahaaaaaa… right 😅
Anyways! I decided to go with five on my TBR that are newer purchases because, let’s be honest, I’m more likely to go for the new and shiny than my poor TBR veterans. Let’s get into it!
#1. The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
I’m starting with this one because, embarrassingly enough, I recently discovered that I have two copies of this book because I forgot I had bought it 🙈 Book hoarder problems, amiright? Still, this is the second book in the Broken Earth series that starts with The Fifth Season and I absolutely adored that book. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get to the sequel. Probably because I lost the copy I had on my shelf for quite some time, heh. But now that it has resurfaced, I’m eager to jump back in!
#2. The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer
This was a recent Book of the Month Club pick and I’m so excited about it! It’s a book with bookish themes which is one of my favorite things to read, so I’m pretty hyped to give it a go. I’m also a big fan of the cover and I can’t even say why. It just looks so whimsical and intriguing and I makes me want to know more! The synopsis also says that this is “a fairy tale for grown ups” and that’s really all they needed to say. Sign me up expeditiously.
