I’m continuing on my mood reader journey rather than have a strict TBR each month, though I do plan to focus on LGBTQIA+ books and authors for Pride month. I also have a few ARCs and ALCs of titles that I will be prioritizing.

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:

• Whistler by Ann Patchett (ARC)
• It Came from Neverland by Cynthia Pelayo (ARC)
• Wasps Nest by Kat Stoddard (ALC)
