These Witches Don’t Burn – Page 2

Books I’ve been avoiding

September 28, 2021September 27, 2021by amyleighreads23 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a freebie and I thought I would take this opportunity to make myself a little more accountable by listing 10 books on my physical TBR currently that I have been definitely avoiding! This was a prompt a couple of years ago that I did and it’s still prevalent today as there are some books that even though I want to read just skip over for others.

Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter

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!!

Medieval-A-Thon TBR

January 8, 2021January 4, 2021by amyleighreads1 Comment

I have made a last minute decision to participate in the Medieval-A-Thon hosted by Holly Hearts Books on booktube! It seemed super fun so I figure why not give it a go. It runs from the 10th January through to the 10th February so I have a whole month to hopefully get through my TBR and achieve the skill I am hoping for. I have decided to try to master two professions a Blacksmith & a Seamstress which will enable me to rise to the rank of an Empress!

☀️ Summer TBR ☀️

December 8, 2020December 8, 2020by amyleighreads2 Comments

So I’m a week early for Top 10 Tuesday but it is time again for our seasonal TBR’s. I have been going pretty well with these over the year, I usually end up reading at least 50% of the books I pick over the course of the three months. So for this summer, I am not really buying many new books I am going to try and get to my physical TBR which are:

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
