TBR : Current Book Stack + A Few Added to My List
Some of my most recent book picks and gifts for the first part of 2022! I’ve included some phrases that attracted me to that particular book!
(Affiliate) Links and a few notes on WHY I want to read these books!
Sirens by Emilia Hart - I loved her first book (Wayward), strong female vibes, Irish history, sister story, and two alternating timelines.
The Future Saints by Ashley Winstead - Book of the Month pick for April, touted as similar to Daisy Jones and the Six, themes of friendship, AND another sister story.
Legendborn by Tracy Deon - Fantasy written by a Black female author, a secret society that hunts down evil, first book in a trilogy (maybe more books coming!) series, hoping it will be picked up as a show!
Forest Euphoria - The Abounding Queerness of Nature by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian - non-fiction, queer positive, reminded me of the vibes of Braiding Sweetgrass (one of my all time favorite books), I love books that challenge what is “normal”
First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison - romance read, on SO MANY lists, promoted to be heavy on the banter and 2000 rom-com vibes!
Recent titles and additions to my Goodreads list that caught my eye:
Slanting Toward The Sea by Lidija Hilje - why: divorce, rediscovering life at 38, set in Croatia
The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston - why: looks quirky and earnest, main characters are in their 80s
Eat Post Like by Emily Arden Wells - why: setting goals and reevaluating as things go way off track, loss of a partner and the grief that follows
Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan - why: single and capable mom gets thrown off course, seems like a sweet romance
Making Art and Making a Living : Adventures in Funding a Creative Life by Mason Curry - why: my own personal goals, making art and selling books!
