January TBR!

My top 10 favorite reads of 2021! Hoping to discover more new favorites in 2022.

All of the physical books I read in 2021! It was a rough year and books are what got me through it. Hoping for a better 2022! 📚

Belated TBR for the #20in4 readathon this weekend! I've been stuck in the middle of a few books for awhile and could use some reading motivation, plus I'm staying in for New Years with so many people testing positive. Thanks for creating this @Andrew65 !

My #botm for January! I've had this contemporary romance on my tbr for awhile. Also fun to see the reading challenge already reset for 2022!

My #top21of21 ! I saw this tag going around and it's great seeing everyone's yearly favorites, so here are mine! I feel like I was lucky to read so many awesome books this year 😊

My TBR for the end of the year! I'm really going to try to finish all 6 of these books by December 31st without my mood-reading tendencies getting in the way. 🤞🤞🤞

Belated November wrap-up! I finished 10 books last month:
🥇The Stone Gods
🥈The Heart Principle
🥉A Certain Appeal

December #botm picks! Really intrigued by the Shea Ernshaw, and have heard good things about the TJR (i think there might be an adaptation in development?).

Belated October Wrap-Up! 🎃 Finished 9 books total, including 2 great #botm picks. Enjoyed participating in Dewey's 24-hour readathon & picking up some fall reads
🥇The Love Hypothesis
🥈The Last Graduate
🥉Once There Were Wolves

October TBR! 🎃👻🧛🏼🧙‍♀️🔮🍂

September reading wrap-up 🍂 I finished 10 books this month, including a bunch of great ones!
🥇A Deadly Education
🥈A Cathedral of Myth & Bone
🥉Half Truths, Walking in a Witchy Wonderland

September tbr! Want to get to a few eARCs and some fall vibes reads 🍂

Both of my #botm picks were on my tbr/most anticipated releases of 2021 list, so I'm looking forward to picking them up! And since I finished the yearly challenge this month, socks included 🧦

Updates for the first 2 days of #20in4 ! Happy to be making progress on all 4 of the books I chose for the weekend. @Andrew65

Joining in on the #20in4 readathon this weekend, hosted by @Andrew65 ! Hoping to finish a few more reads before the end of the month, and going with a mix of fantasy and romance.

I finished the #botm 2021 reading challenge! Particularly excited bc I didn't manage to complete the challenge in 2020. Excited for my socks in the next box!

August TBR!

July wrap-up! No 5⭐️ books unfortunately, but some 4⭐️ books I really loved (Witches Get Stitches, Eve Brown, Reasons to Stay Alive, For the Wolf). Finished 12 books total, which is a really good amount for me. Hoping for 5⭐️s in August 🤞🤞🤞

Loved this month's #botm picks! I may have gone overboard; I initially was just going to get the top 2, but The Inheritance sounded great as well so I ended up adding it 🤣

This crazy stack is all the physical books I've read so far in 2021! (have read 59 books total, but some are audio/ebooks). plenty of #botm picks too!

June wrap-up! 🥇was definitely Plain Bad Heroines by Emily Danforth, which I LOVED! I focused on books featuring LGBTQIA+ authors and/or main characters, and really enjoyed almost everything I read. 🥈Kit Webb; 🥉Somebody's Daughter or maybe Conventionally Yours!

July TBR! I have a few eARCs I need to get to, as well as a few newer releases. July is also my birthday month, so I'm hoping to love at least some of these!

None of the #botm picks or available member faves appealed to me this month. Fingers crossed for better picks in August!

June TBR! This month I'm focusing on books featuring LGBTQIA+ authors and/or main characters. #tbr I've started the first two pictured here already & am enjoying so far.

I think this is the first month of 2021 that I ended up with 3 #botm picks! These were all on my tbr, so I'm pretty happy. I'm also interested in the TJR and The Maidens, but not planning on urgently picking them up so I'll wait on those. So excited for One Last Stop!!!

May wrap-up!
Finished: 13 books (a LOT for me!)
ARCs: Neon Gods by Katee Robert (modern Hades & Persephone romance, really enjoyed!)
Faves: Writers & Lovers, Disfigured, The Body Myth, Rosaline Palmer
Least favorite: The Ex Talk

3 books I'm hoping to finish before the end of May! I love starting a new month with a fresh currently reading stack 📚 So far, I'm enjoying all 3, although it's weird for me to be reading 3 romance books at once; usually I like to be reading from multiple genres.

I know that the #botm picks likely won't be up until probably next week, but it doesn't stop me from being impatient and hoping that the tagged book is a pick! Anyone else?

May TBR! Adding in a re-read of Six of Crows since I loved the Shadow & Bone show so much.

April wrap-up! (not pictured: The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert.) I finished 9 books and my favs were Tender by Sofia Samatar, Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell, and Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews. 1 botm book and 3 2021 releases

Just one for me this month; I wasn't super wowed by the options. I was really hoping for One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston being available early (it comes out 6/1 i think) but fingers crossed for next month. #botm

TBR for @DeweysReadathon today! Anyone else participating?? #readathon

My tentative April TBR! Will probably try to pick up at least one BOTM title also. #tbr

Super excited that the new Emily Henry was a pick! Can't wait to read it. Have heard amazing things about Caste snd have been picking up a lot of nonfiction lately. Definitely would have also added Love in Color but I already requested from the publisher. #botm

Great reading month in March! Finished 9 books and faves were Black Sun, Transcendent Kingdom, and Fables & Other Lies. Read 2 books from the Women's Prize longlist, 1 #botm , and 1 read for the tome topple readathon (book with 500+ pages).

This was the perfect book for my current reading mood! It has all the things: supernatural elements, a Gothic atmosphere, local mythology, mystery, and forbidden romance. Definitely going to be picking up more from this author!

Halfway done with my #botm reading challenge!

March TBR! I've got a good variety here with a short story collection, a NetGalley eARC, a BOTM title, and 2 long fantasy books I've been really looking forward to.

Feb reading wrap-up! I finished 9 books, most of them great. Faves were Legendborn, Mediocre, and The Space Between Worlds.

Loved this one! Great, character-driven scifi featuring the multiverse theory, a suspicious tech company, elements reminiscient of Mad Max:Fury Road, and a protagonist determined to survive even though her selves on other worlds have almost all died. #botm

Feb TBR! I've already started several of these, but I'm not sure where my reading will go after that. I want to read at least one of my eARCs from NetGalley (Down Comes the Night) and a few of these (Legendborn, Fates & Furies, and Honey Girl) will count for the #botm reading challenge.

January reading wrap-up! I made it through 10 books this month, my favorite of which was The Office of Historical Corrections. I've made a solid start on my #botm reading challenge with 3 books and also read two 2021 eARCs. Overall a great reading month!

Am I crazy, or are there only 2 new add-on options for #botm this month other than the main 5 picks?
I'm really excited for Honey Girl but was hoping for some add-on options...

I was expecting to skip December, but when I saw that Roxane Gay gave the tagged book 5⭐️ on Goodreads and called the author "the finest short story writer working today," it was a no-brainer. And the add-ons were on my tbr, so now I ended up with 3 books again. ? #botm

October reading wrap-up! No 5⭐️ reads for me this month, but 4 very solid 4⭐️ reads: Rage, Spoiler Alert, Landscape with Invisible Hand, and You Had Me at Hola.

My #bookhaul this month is going to be out of control 😂 I ordered a bunch of books online in September that are just getting here now, and combined with #botm , my tbr is exploding.

October TBR! 🎃👻☠️🦇🍂

I ended up getting 3 books again--that's 2 months in a row! #botm

Currently reading a mystery/thriller to kick off my fall reading (I like to read seasonally and mystery/thrillers just seem like fall!). I'm enjoying it so far, particularly the characters and sense of place.
