#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!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. Though the work week has just started for most of us, I’m looking forward to some sunny weather and preparing for my birthday the week after! Before all that, though, it’s time for another 5 On My TBR. This week is all about chill vibes because I’ll be talking about five lighthearted books that I want to read. This took a bit of finding because I read a lot of dramatic stuff, I’m realizing, haha. Still, I do like a more whimsical moment and I managed to pick five that I’m eager to pick up soon.
That being said, let’s dive on in!
#1. Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree
This is the prequel to Legends & Lattes, which was definitely a lighthearted read, so I’m hoping the prequel is similar. I love Viv a whole bunch and I’m excited to see her before she bought her coffeeshop. I will miss the other characters from the first novel (especially Thimble!), but I’m intrigued by Viv’s reading journey, haha. And I need to know who that little owl-dog-thing is on the front. It is an actual necessity.
#2. A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers
I don’t know if I can really count this one as “lighthearted”… the first book in this series, A Psalm for the Wild-Built made me tear up. At the same time, though, it certainly made my heart feel full, so I think that counts! I’ve been wanting to continue the series for quite some time now. I just can’t justify spending almost 20 bucks for a book that’s barely over 100 pages, haha. I need to hunt it down at my library and finally give it a read.
