Even though it’s already halfway through Pride month I had to mention a few LGBTQ+ books that I really want to read in the near future! These are 5 books that I have seen everywhere from booktube & bookstagram that come highly recommended.
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender
The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
I figured it was time for another WWW Wednesday update:
The Girl and the Mountain by Mark Lawrence
The Ones We’re Meant to Find by Joan He
The Wicker King by K. Ancrum
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is the books I plan to read this Winter! I thought for this season that I would circle back to last years Winter TBR I created and catch up and complete the books that I still haven’t read and the sequels to the other books on the list!
The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence
Red Tigress by Amelie Wen Zhao
Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski
Heart of Flames by Nicki Pau Preto
Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
The Red Queen’s War Series by Mark Lawrence
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a freebie so I decided to go with a prompt from around this time last year which was opening lines. Just like last year I decided to go with the first line from 10 books on my physical TBR! These are all very high on my reading list and seeing some of these opening lines definitely makes me excited to get into a few of them!!
A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow
“It feels redundant to be at the pool on a rainy Saturday, even though it’s spring, and even though it’s Portland, but maybe I’m just more of a California snob than I want to be.”
The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages comes and pass, leaving memories that become legend.”
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
“There’s no such thing as witches, but there used to be.”
Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
“Lucie Herondale was ten years old when she first met the boy in the forest.”

Blood and Honey by Shelby Mahurin
“Dark clouds gathered overhead.”
These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling
“They say there’s a fine line between love and hate.”
Heart of Flames by Nicki Pau Preto
“Veronyka kicked as hard as she could at Tristan’s face.”
Queen of Volts by Amanda Foody
“It was early morning when Harvey Gabbiano dug the grave.”
Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson
“Of course the Parshendi wanted to play their drums.”
Today I decided to redo a TTT prompt I did around this time last year which was books I’ve read but won’t be purchasing. I’m still somewhat on a book buying ban and have restricted myself to only purchasing books that I’ve rated ⭐️4/5 stars or higher so these are 10 books that I rated lower than that, which I probably won’t be purchasing for my personal collection.
