Month ahead:
I’m continuing on my mood reader journey rather than have a strict TBR each month, and have a few ARCs and ALCs of titles that I will be prioritizing.
I’m planning to also read the following from my “Clear the Shelves” challenge this month:
- Left of Forever by Tarah DeWitt
- A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
