Hi friends šš» Spring is almost here and we are almost into one of my least favourite times of the year (I am Squidward in the gif below). I donāt try to make it a secret that I donāt enjoy warmer weather because it makes me grumpy and depressed and it makes my eyes sting so the way I can stop myself from feeling too down in the dumps is by reading.
Recently Iāve been really into dark things and Iāve been in a total horror mood since October thanks to 31 Days of Horror. I want to pull myself out of that a little but how successfully Iāve planned to do that is up for debate š
The Girls Iāve Been by Tess Sharpe - I havenāt read any YA mysteries or thrillers in a long time and I want to get back into the genre, so I figured what better way to do that than by reading one that is a recent release? Also, I believe this book is queer so that is also a big plus.
The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers - Iāve seen a lot of love for Becky Chambersā books, especially from sci-fi bloggers, and Iāve wanted to get into this series for a long time. I got a copy of the first book for Christmas and I canāt wait to get my claws into it.
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia - Iām actually starting this one again because I started reading this book in October but put it down to start Sci-Fi Month. I didnāt get too far but I did enjoy what I read so Iām looking forward to diving back into it.
Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater - Iām finally continuing on with my priority TBR! Itās been a while since I finished the initial Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy and Iām very curious to see what goes on with Cole and Isabel in this book.
Soldier by Julie Kagawa - This isnāt the greatest series Iāve ever read but I do love the worldbuilding and how Julie Kagawa made dragons her own so Iām not going to give up on it.
Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds - I had to put at least one contemporary novel on this TBR because as much as I love genre fiction, I like having some contemporary now and then.
Supernova by Marissa Meyer - I love the worldbuilding in Marissa Meyersā books and this series is no exception. I really enjoyed the first two books in the series and although I donāt want the series to end, I am still looking forward to seeing how it ends.
Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline - Iāve already seen some critical views of this one but those are from people who hated the first book and I donāt pay attention to reviews so Iām going to read this book anyway.
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab - This one will actually be a reread for me! I finally got physical copies of the whole series (that donāt match, oops) after borrowing the first book from the library and then finding out that they didnāt have the rest of the series.
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite - Going all the way back into dark stuff because thatās been my mood since October, Iāve been meaning to read this book for years and I finally got a copy for my birthday so I canāt wait to knock this one off of my priority TBR.
talk to me!

I really enjoyed Sinner. I hope you do, too!
Nothing wrong with a dark and moody spring TBR! (I am a firm believer that Halloween is the real most wonderful time of the year.) Iām looking forward to Mexican Gothic too-great list!
I loved The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet and Mexican Gothic! I still need to get started on the Renegades series by Marissa Meyer though. Iāve had the first book for ages!
I hope you enjoy all of these!
