#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 everyone is enjoying their holidays. This is a weird time of year where I’m still working (yay, healthcare) but the world feels like it’s in a liminal space, haha. It’s also a time to reflect on the year that has past, which lends itself well to this week’s 5 On My TBR theme. We’re talking all about books I meant to read in 2024. There were… a lot of books I meant to read this past year that never got picked up, so I’m deciding to focus on five 2024 releases that I really wanted to read, but never did. Trust me, even that reduced list could go on for ages 😅😂
That being said, let’s dive in!
#1. The God of the Woods by Liz Moore
I got this book from Book of the Month Club because of two reasons. Number one, I kept seeing this book everywhere! People were talking about this one all over the bookish internet and I jumped on the hype train. Number two, I love the cover. I mean… look at it! It just gives off a dark, woodsy vibe that has me intrigued. And, according to the synopsis, this will be a “thrilling drama”, and I need more thrilling reads in my life right now. Count me in!
#2. Wisteria by Adalyn Grace
I’ve found recently that YA fantasy is very hit or miss for me. I either fall in love with the story or can barely force myself through the book. Which, hey, I’m 42 so decidedly not the target audience. But this series? This series has absolutely captured my imagination. It’s a combination of beautiful writing, fascinating characters, and love stories that don’t make me want to roll my eyes. I’m eager to give this one a read and finish out the series.
