The halfway TBR stack! Hello June ☀️📚

I cannot help but feel giddy looking at this little TBR pile because I am just so intrigued by all these books. I am hoping the good weather comes back soon so that I can curl up with my books and get some good reading sessions completed.

TBR LIST: JUNE 2026

Well here we are! The half way point. The middle of the year! I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone past so far. I also cannot believe that, once I complete my current read, I only have one more book to finish in order to hit the number of books I set on my Goodreads challenge.

Like usual, there will also be a photo of these books in their little book stack coming up on my blog shortly. But here is the complete list for now, for June:

Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors My current read. I have already started this but didn't get it completed before the end of the previous month.

The Martian by Andy Weir I was on the Project Hail Mary hype and someone I am a mutual with on TikTok asked if I had read this yet, and said they really enjoyed it. So I am going to try read it ASAP to get back to them with my thoughts and opinions.

Meet Me At The Seaside Cottages by Jenny Colgan I picked this up randomly on a recent book buying trip and I am just curious about it, as I've never heard of it before.

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman Not my typical genre. The first in this series and I have been intrigued to find out what everyone else seems to really enjoy about this book in particular, and the series overall.

Friday, 29th May 2026.

I have fallen a little bit behind with writing my full reviews of the books I have completed but, trust me, I am still reading and making good progress with my reading goal this year. I am only two books away from hitting my end of year 'reading goal' and, I feel so good about the reading I have done so far this year, and for it to continue on into the second half of the year too.

less than 24 hours after taking these photos i had to go to the ER with a fever of 105. but i did submit my english paper on time!

being a STEM major means i don't usually get to spend my time on something as fun as literary analysis, so in that sense this gothic lit class has been a blessing – but it's also stressful to be graded on something i've spent so little time practicing for the past few years.
