Every year I pick 5 books that are high on my TBR that I try to prioritise and actually read! This year I decided to go with the books a mix of older and newer releases that I want to get to.
The 5 books I really want to read in 2022 are:
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
All’s Well by Mona Awad
Dune by Frank Herbert
Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente
It’s been a while since I posted a haul and I just recently went thrifting and managed to snag a bunch of books for very cheap! I think for all ten of these books I paid under $15 which I think is definitely a steal! I honestly love perusing through thrift stores and op shops and seeing what people have been reading and donating and seeing a title or author that I recognise and jump out at me is just so fulfilling!
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is funny book titles. I couldn’t really come up with ten funny book titles so I decided to go in the opposite direction and pick out my top ten most foreboding book titles instead.
My Top Ten most foreboding book titles are:
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire
Burn our Bodies Down by Rory Powers
The Deck of Omens by Christine Lynn Herman
Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
No Exit by Taylor Adams
The Damned by Renee Ahdieh
He Started It by Samantha Downing
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is book titles that sound like they’re song titles. So I went through all the books I read recently and these books definitely gave me song title vibes!
No Exit by Taylor Adams
Watch Over Me by Nina Lacour
He Started It by Samantha Downing
The One by John Marrs
Burn by Patrick Ness
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski
The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo
I’ve had a pretty great reading month in terms of quantity, the quality of the books were a little average though. There was a lot that I thought I would love that were just kind of ok. I participated in two readathons this month which went really well and I read a lot of books that have been on my radar now for a while so I am definitely satisfied with that!
