Hey everyone, welcome to my blog! This month I’m trying my hardest to read 31 books in 31 days to finish the year out strong so now that we’re almost 2 weeks into the month, here are the books I really want to finish the year out with! Like every December, I’m in the mood for romances and mysteries so here are the main priority books on my tbr!

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! 2022 is definitely the year of romance for me and I am absolutely loving it! I’ve read new favourites from so many new-to-me authors this year and I have so many others on my tbr that I’m looking forward to reading from! So, here are 30 of the top romance books on my tbr that I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll read by the end of the year!

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! We’ve got the graphicsathon coming up in just under 2 weeks and so I’m officially geting my physical tbr together! I have a lot of books on my kindle and scribd tbrs so, I figured why not make my life even harder by giving myself even more choices and I put a whole bunch of graphics on hold at the library to the point where I maxed out my holds limit… 😅 So, here’s everything I currently have on hold at the library!

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! It’s been a minute since I wrote something that wasn’t a wrap up or a reading update so I thought since I’m in such an obsessive romance reading mood I’d write a quick list of all the books on my tbr at the moment and shock, horror, they’re all romance books! And, funnily enough, in the 2 days since I drafted this post, I’ve actually already read 5 of them 🙈.

This post is entirely Emma’s fault, she pulled me in with her charm and her lists and now I’m here making lists and being a great deal happier. I hope you don’t mind, Emma, but I did use your book categories!
So, here it is guys, my official physical tbr, as of today, Tuesday the 25th of April. I am pretty excited to finally see all of my physical tbr in list form (you guys, I LOVE lists). I am hoping that I will use this as a motivator to really knock some of these books of my tbr by the end of the year. s you’ll see, this post is quite long but that’s only because I’ve included my kindle and audiobook tbrs.
EDIT: I do plan on unhauling some of the books off of my physical tbr by the end of the year (which I have planned posts for) so I have not included them in this list, though if you’re curious as to what they are I’d be happy to tell you.

FRIDGE ANTS 
I’v e decided to make this into a segment because I enjoyed writing the first blog post so much!
What Am I Currently Reading?
I am currently reading Dreadnought by April Daniels. I’m really enjoying this book but some aspects of this are really hitting home for me so it’s taking me a bit longer to get through.
TBR | What Am I Excited About?
Sovereign (Nemesis #2) by April Daniels
At the time that I’m writing this I’m still reading book one but so far I am really enjoying it so of course I am excitd to read book 2!
Spider-Man/Deadpool, Volume 2 by Scott Aukerman & Gerry Duggan…etc.
Oh my lord, I am in love with this series. I know I’ve only read volume 1 but holy cow I know this is defiitely going to be a favourite comic series for me.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Volume 2 by Brian Michael Bendis
I read volume 1 in March and while I didn’t love it I did really enjoy the character of Miles Morales so I’m still pretty excited for volume 2.
Sofia Khan Is Not Obliged (Sofia Khan #1) by Ayisha Malik
Guys, the blurb says everything. It sounds really good and I’ve heard nothing bt praise so I can’t wait to pick it up.
‘Brilliant idea! Excellent! Muslim dating? Well, I had no idea you were allowed to date.’ Then he leaned towards me and looked at me sympathetically. ‘Are your parents quite disappointed?’
Unlucky in love once again after her possible-marriage-partner-to-be proves a little too close to his parents, Sofia Khan is ready to renounce men for good. Or at least she was, until her boss persuades her to write a tell-all expose about the Muslim dating scene.
As her woes become her work, Sofia must lean on the support of her brilliant friends, baffled colleagues and baffling parents as she goes in search of stories for her book. In amongst the marriage-crazy relatives, racist tube passengers and decidedly odd online daters, could there be a a lingering possibility that she might just be falling in love . . . ?
27 Hours (The Nightside Saga #1) by Tristina Wright
This is my most anticipated book of 2017, so to say I’m excited is an understatement. Queers in space, it doesn’t get better than this.
You’re Welcome, Universe by Whitney Gardner
There aren’t enough deaf characters in books so this is definitely in my top 5 most anticipated for 2017.
TBR | What’s New?
Wires and Nerve, Volume 1 (Wires and Nerve #1) by Marissa Meyer (text), Douglas Holgate (Illustrations)
I have read The Lunar Chronicles but when my library finally gets this in I’ll definitely be picking it up.
Beauty and the Beast: Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly
This sounds amazing, I mean it’s part of the Beauty and the Beast world so of course I’m excited about it.
Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?
This sounds different so I am very excited about it, plus I haven’t read enough queer books in my life.
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
This is such an important book that if I don’t read it I willl incredbly disappointed in myself.
A Quiet Kind of Thunder by Sara Barnard
Steffi doesn’t talk, but she has so much to say.
Rhys can’t hear, but he can listen.
Their love isn’t a lightning strike, it’s the rumbling roll of thunder.
What’s that? Another YA book with a deaf character? Hell yeah it’s on my TBR
TBR | Get Hyped!
One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars, One of Us Is Lying is the story of what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone has something to hide.
I literally do not even need to write why I want to read this, you already know.
Waking Gods (Themis Files #2) by Sylvain Neuvel
I read book 1 in March so I’m super excited for this. A sci-fi book about a mysterious robot dug under ground all around the world, oh yeah this series is cool.
At the Edge of the Universe by Shaun David Hutchinson
I haven’t yet read a book by SDH but I have heard so many good things about his work that yeah, I am extremely excited to read this!
Goodreads — Books Amino — Instagram — Twitter
Like most book lovers or book bloggers I have a Goodreads. I wanted to write a post about my current TBR on Goodreads but there are currently over 200 books on the list. Whoops. I decided it would be easier and more interesting if I posted about what some of the most recent additions to my list are and why I added them. I don’t own any of these books but Christmas is coming up and if I don’t end up buying them, I am a big library user anyway.
I am currently reading One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva. I’ve known about this book for years but ended up taking it off my tbr last year because I didn’t think I would read it. But, I saw it at the library last month and figured, if it’s there why not read it?
Jughead Volume 1 by Chip Zdarsky, Erica Henderson (Illustrations)
I’ve never read an Archie comic but I’ve heard good things about this one so I figured it would be a good place to start. Jughead Jones seems like a weird and quirky guy and I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble he gets into!
Beast by Brie Spangler
A transgender, modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast? Beauty and the Beast is my favourite movie of all time and I’ve never read a book with a trans character so I figured this would be a great place to start. I’ve heard that this book goes really deep into transphobia and doesn’t skip over the gritty bits. This sounds like an important book and I can’t wait to read it.
Six of Crows (Six of Crows Duology #1) by Leigh Bardugo
I think almost everyone in the bookish community knows about this duology, and yet I still haven’t picked it up. I plan on reading the Grisha trilogy before reading this duology so I have some better knowledge of the world. I’ve heard amazing things so all I can hope is that I’m not let down.
The Wise Man’s Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle #2) by Patrick Rothfuss
I recently finished book one on this trilogy and I really enjoyed it. Naturally, I can’t wait to read the next book.
Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1) by Rick Riordan
I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to pick up this trilogy but the other day I was binge watching booktube and I found out that there’s a deaf character, which has pushed this to the top of my TBR list. Plus, it’s Rick Riordan, I have to read it, right?
The Flash Volume 6: Out of Time by Robert Venditti (Goodreads Author), Van Jensen (Goodreads Author), Brett Booth (Illustrations)
I have only read volume 1-5 in this series and I honestly love it. This series is brilliant, definitely recommend for fans of the show!
Heartless by Marissa Meyer
A new Marissa Meyer novel? Duh, I’m gonna read it.
Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between by Lauren Graham
I am a massive Gilmore Girls, it’s honestly ridiculous. The audiobook for this is being released at the end of the month, after the revival is released on Netflix. I think this will be a perfect way to close off the show. I love Lauren Graham, she has an amazing voice and her personality is goals, so naturally I am hyped for this!
Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #2) by Rick Riordan
I’ve not read the first novel but like I said before this trilogy is right up the top of my list.
America Volume 1 by Jamie McKelvie (Artist), Matt Wilson (Colorist)
I read Young Avenger Volume 1 at the start of the year and fell in love with the characters so when I heard they were making a new series with America I immediately added it to my evergrowing TBR.
Down Among the Sticks and Stones by Seanon Macguire
I read Every Heart A Doorway a few months ago and devoured it, the characters were amazing and unique and the concept was awesome so naturally I will be picking up book 2 next year!
