#spring tbr

May scorched and withered; March was restless, and could be hard and cold in its brightness; but April came along softly like a blessing, and if it were a fine April it was so beautiful that it was impossible not to feel different, not to feel stirred and touched.

Letting 'The Enchanted April' work its magic amidst blossoms and sunshine. A perfect read to welcome the gentleness of spring and the promise of transformation.

Come see what books I’m going to be read over the next month or two! It’s the perfect time to forget about the world and chill in the make believe ❤️

Top Ten Tuesday: Spring TBR

A blog about books and book reviews

I’ll have a belated book deals posted later today, but in the meantime I forgot to share the Top Ten Tuesday post of the week--Spring TBR! Drop by to check it out and let me know what books you’re planning to read this spring/what spring releases you’re looking forward to! I’m not one to plan a TBR out (I’m too much of a mood reader), but there are still some books I’m hoping to get to. :)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books on My Spring 2019 TBR

Spring will be upon us tomorrow so here’s a quick list of Spring releases I’m eagerly awaiting! 

-I’m all about family secrets amid a highly dysfunctional family 

-I feel like people have been talking about Wicked Saints for ages and I just need to see what all the hype is about. Plus I’m all about dark and gritty stories

-This was pitched as Indian Game of Thrones which was enough for me to scream sign me up!

-100% honesty half of my interest in this is because I love that cover but the other half is because the synopsis sounds like there’s going to be some serious enemies to loves action and I love that trope

-Amie Kaufman. Jay Kristoff. That’s all I need to here. (Also there’s been sneak peeks that show AIDAN and that’s my favorite murderbot baby)

-Faceshifting magic, a heist, and a sad prince all wrapped up in a cover that is literally a work of art 

-I’ve followed Hafsah on Instagram for a while and I was very excited when she announced her book deal. The synopsis for this sounds incredible, like Tiger at Midnight I’m just a sucker for two characters on the opposite side forced to work together for a common goal

-Bone magic and fracturing timelines! I can’t wait to see how the timelines play out in this and the formatting of the book it sounds so interesting!

-I enjoyed Rogerson’s An Enchantment of Ravens and this book sounds like it may be even better. Libraries full of dangerous grimoires, mysterious sorcerers, and a big conspiracy to tie it all together.  

-I loved Rule last year and I cannot wait to see what’s going to happen next in this series!

Surprisingly I have realised that my TBR pile might have gotten just a tad too big, I know it's crazy, right? There are quite a few books that I've been putting off reading or that I'm really excited for but haven't had the time to get to them yet, so I plan on tackling some of them this spring. I won't give a too in-debt description since I don't really like knowing too much about a book before reading it, but I have linked the Goodreads pages for all of them if you want to find out more.

1. “Salt to the sea” by Ruta Sepetys This follows a four different people during WWII who are trying to get away from the war by going on a ship, where all of their stories converge. I have had this book for almost an entire year but I haven't really felt like reading a historical fiction novel. I do really need to finally get to it since I have heard nothing but good things about Ruta Sepetys's books. 

2. “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline The creator of the VR game OASIS has passed away, but he has left an easter egg in the game, whoever finds it gets to control OASIS. Me and some classmates are going to see the movie at the end of March so I definitely want to get to this before that. Another plus is that I read “Warcross” recently and really enjoyed it so I'm excited to read more books about Virtual Reality.

3. “The Book of Air and Shadows” by Michael Gruber Lawyer Jake Mishkin has been put in the middle of a deadly chase after Shakespeare's last, lost play.  My mum found this in a second hand bookstore but she never ended up reading it so I stole it from her and put it on my TBR. The synopsis sounds so amazing and I'm really excited to finally get to it. It sounds like it's going to be full of adventure and so much fun to read.

4. “A Most Magical Girl” by Karen Foxlee This is the story of a friendship between two girls set in Victorian England, with magical machines, wizards, witches, a mysterious underworld, and a race against time. Another find in the secondhand bookstore. I don't read much middle grade but this one sounded quite interesting so I'll probably be getting to it in these next few months.

5. “The Guernsey Literally and Potato Peel Society” by  Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows This book is written in letters and takes place in 1946 London. Juliet finds a book that has once belonged to a man she's never met and so she writes a letter to him and they start to become friends. My mum read and really enjoyed this and it sounds like it could be extremely cute so I'll definitely give this one a shot.

6. “Mary Jane” by Dorothy Sterling Mary Jane finds that it is much more difficult than she expected to be the only black girl amongst the white at Wilson High. She had been sheltered from white antagonisms, and is now suddenly thrust into a world of snobbery, prejudice and suspicion. At first she bitterly resents the role of ambassador, but slowly becomes less defensive and forms a sound relationship with her classmates based on genuine compatability. I've actually borrowed this from a friend so I'll probably get to this quite soon so that I can give it back to her. I gave her “The Hate U Give” in exchange so hopefully both of us will enjoy these.

7. “The keeper of lost things” by Ruth Hogan A man who has collected lost things for a big part of his life passes away and leaves all of them to his assistant and gives her the task of returning these thing. The premise for this one seems so amazing and magical and I just can't wait to finally read it.

8. “How to Stop Time” by Matt Haig While Tom Hazard might look like a forty year old man, in truth he is much older - in fact, he's been alive for centuries. He moves back to London, his old home, and becomes a history teacher in an attempt to have an ordinary life, but the past is catching up to him. I read “Echo Boy” by Matt Haig and it was so weird but at the same time very fascinating. I quite enjoyed the writing style and the concept of this one sounds quite magical and whimsical.

9. “The Unsettled Dust” by Robert Aickman And yet another find in the secondhand bookshop... I don't really know too much about this, except that it's a story collection and it's supposed to be quite strange, the main reason why I picked it up was that Neil Gaiman had left a very good review for it, and I'm definitely excited to read this book.

10. “The Raven Boys” by Maggie Stiefvater Once again, I don't really know any details about this, but I've heard people raving about this series for ever and I've been looking at these books for quite some time, but now I finally decided to pick up the first book so I will probably read this quite soon. It's a fantasy series so I will probably end up enjoying this a lot.

Have you read any of these books? What's on your spring TBR? I'd love to hear some of your thoughts.

I feel like the last bit of Winter just flew on by (though to be fair, weather wise we aren’t out of the woods just yet). Spring already! You can see how I did with my winter tbr here. Onwards to that Spring TBR. As always I try to have half ARCS and the other half books that I own. ARCS: Strixthaven | The Tapestry of Fate | Bromantasy | The Girl With a Thousand Faces | The Last Dragon House…
