Month ahead:
I’m continuing on my mood reader journey rather than have a strict TBR each month, though I do plan to get caught up on past book box picks and a few ARCs and ALCs.
I need to get through a few ARCs/ALCs and I also need to catch up on several other books. My TBR has once again sprouted a fifth head. These are on my radar:
- Lady X by Molly Fader (ARC)
- Carry Me To My Grave by Christopher Golden (ARC)
- Tenderness by Rowan Beard (ALC)
- Sophie Standing There by Meg Mason (ARC)
