My physical TBR unfortunately seems to be growing faster than I care to admit.

listen, if you want a fantastically written morally grey mom, read Fathomfolk by Eliza Chan. I can't say more but just thinking about her has me gnawing on cardboard like a cat. please read fathomfolk. i love this mom. she's so conniving she's so okay with manipulating and using desperate people even if that desperate person is a daughter trying to help her own mom. Morally grey mom won't hesitate to help others kill and drown the world if it helps her protect her children. She'll underestimate her own children thinking she's the only one hardened enough to protect them. and i just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Most anticipated 2024 books!

I am anticipating a lot of books. To keep track of them, I made a 2024 tbr shelf. It has 123 books. I certainly won't be reading all 123, but since I can sort the list by release date it helps me keep track of new releases. Unfortunately, 123 is so many that half of them I don't even remember adding them or what they're about, so I decided to boil it down to 10 most anticipated new books and 10 sequels.

"She had assumptions about his family, his home that were etched into her grain. She wished she could take a blade and shave away the rot, but the deeper she dug, the more she realised the veins ran right through her. All she could do was acknowledge them. Try to change them."
