June TBR
I am really going to try and read more this month and catch up on all my reading goals! I feel like I am slowly coming out of my reading slump and I am in the mood to read so I felt I need to switch it up and have a dedicated TBR this month!
These are the 10 books I’m hoping to read in June:
The Ones We’re Meant to Be by Joan He
Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
All the Tides of Fate by Adalyn Grace
Stormcaster by Cinda Williams Chima
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
The Ravens by Kass Morgan & Danielle Paige
The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
Opening Lines
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.”

“There’s no such thing as witches, but there used to be.”

Books I’ve Read but Won’t be Purchasing
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.
