November 2023 TBR--

This month's TBR is going to be quite a bit smaller than the ones I've posted throughout the year so far. Moving has taken a lot out of me so I'm going to try to balance reading with watching TV shows and other things I enjoy that don't require nearly as much of my attention. (I say while The Shadow of the Gods just sits there staring at me.) I have a couple of rereads, a series starter, a new release, and a holiday read on the list this month.

We'll Be Home for Christmas by HelenKay Dimon (Library)-- I was surprised to find that I enjoyed a Christmas novella from HelenKay Dimon after reading her 2023 release earlier this year so I wanted to add the next Christmas novella in the series to my list. This one follows the older brother who has a high IQ but can't seem to understand women--at least one woman in particular. He takes women to bed one night and moves on the next morning, but, after a three day weekend with Lila, Spencer can't seem to get her off his mind. And it seems like fate is giving him a helping hand when she shows up in his town ready to take over her uncle's resort. But Spencer doesn't do serious.

The Hunting Moon by Susan Dennard (New Release)-- I cannot explain how truly excited I am for the next book in this series. The Luminaries was somehow everything I didn't know I wanted. It follows Winnie who just wants to join the Luminaries--an ancient order that protects the town of Hemlock Falls from the nightmares that prowl the forest in their town. After her family being disgraced by her traitor father, Winnie has known what it's like to be on the outside looking in, but as her birthday draws closer she's allowed to start the trials to determine if she'll finally get her wish. But, with new monsters popping up in the forest at night, is the forest safe even for the ones who hunt them?

The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne-- I would say this is my most intimidating read on my physical TBR shelf (and of course on this month's TBR). I know this is the start of a new Norse inspired fantasy series so I think it's a good place for me to start with John Gwynne (let me know if I'm wrong and I'll probably slate something else here instead). I remember seeing the cover for the first time and immediately wanting to know more. Gods warred and drove themselves to extinction which shattered the land. A new world rises with monsters stalking the woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power for those brave or desperate enough to seek them out. Seems a little bit vague but I'm excited to learn more.

The Righteous by Renee Ahdieh (Reread)-- This is one I'm not super looking forward to rereading. The series starts with The Beautiful and takes place in 19th century New Orleans following a group of vampires (stop me if you've also watched a similar TV show). I've found that over time my intrigue has dropped quite a bit. Though, this reread of book number three means I would only have one book left to complete the series so why not. This one actually follows Pippa more than I was expecting so I remember that being fun at the first read. Let's hope it will be this time as well.

Evershore by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson (Reread)-- Another reread for me in preparation for a new release. I struggled through rereading Cytonic so I think rereading Evershore is actually going to be a good mental break before Defiant comes out at the end of the month. This series follows Spensa who wants nothing more than to become a pilot for her planet's military, but given the cowardice her father exhibited before his death, they're not so willing to have her. The world really expands a lot from there as the series goes on. A lot of people say that the series becomes repetitious as you keep reading and after my reread of Cytonic I don't know that I can disagree with the sentiment. See Spensa do more training yet again got old fast. I think the highlight of this series for me is actually the novellas (shocking. I know) and so I'm looking forward to this reread.

I'm hoping to also add in a couple of holiday romances from my local library where I can in the month.

Can people stop making STUNNING book edges with special book editions??? Cause I already had a hard enough time not buying books when just the covers were pretty but now that you’ve made the SIDES gorgeous as well I’m going to have a real book-buying problem on my hands.

#books #book hoarder #tbr pile #tbr list #tbr #book girlie #sprayed edges #special edition books #I am mostly joking #because they are so so pretty and I love them #I am just struggling with a book buying issue #and my physical tbr is already too fucking long #physical tbr #edited

Currently at 49/432 books read… other than my BOTM pick’s for the rest of the year I’m on a book buying ban until Black Friday.

It’s literally about to be 50/447 since I ordered some other books…. I think I might start posting reviews for all my physical tbr books that I read here.

P.s. I had books from before I started to really get into them and for the past four or five years my treat yourself budget has been spent on books. I rarely ever get clothes and usually get them at thrift stores when I do, I don’t go out to eat, and I don’t have any irl friends so I rarely go out to places. The books I buy are usually $5 or under as well. I’m not rich I just don’t have a life.

I do read quite a bit every year I just tend to ignore my physical tbr and read library books instead. And I panic bought quite a bit last year because last time I lived where I do now I read 150 books in three months and the closest place to buy books irl near me is a grocery store… basically I was scared I would read everything on my physical tbr and not have anything to read very quickly. And lastly I rarely hold on to a book that’s a three star so 95% that are three stars or lower get unhauled.

The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes Review

The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes | as always, check tw!

5 out of 5 🌟 |  NO 🌶

⚠️Potential Spoilers ahead! Proceed with caution! ⚠️

This was another one of my most anticipated reads of 2022. Jennifer Lynn Barnes has been one of my favorite authors since I was 16, when I picked up the Naturals series for the first time. When the Inheritance Games went viral on booktok, I was so excited that people were finally experiencing the brilliance that is Jennifer Lynn Barnes. 

The Final Gambit was an amazing conclusion to the Inheritance Games series. It does a phenomenal job of connecting all three books in such a unique and interesting way. The story was all wrapped up with a little bow. Though, I have to admit the storyline ending for Toby wasn’t my favorite and I’m sad about Grayson. I have always been team Grayson.  

My favorite part of this whole book though lies in the characters. Xander has always been my favorite character since the beginning. And if you have read the Naturals series— or you want to— Xander gives off Sloane vibes. His commentary and mannerisms make the book so lighthearted, when the book gets intense. Overall, this book was one of my favorites of the year. 

Have you read this book? What did you think?📝

Remaining Series Ratings:

The Inheritance Games— 5 Stars 🌟

The Hawthorne Legacy— 5 Stars 🌟

Thinking of just having one shelf of books. Like a physical TBR of like 5 books and some reread-ables. But then it’s like why even have 5? When you could go to the library well the answer is what if I want to take more than 2 weeks to read it? Well why would you “want” to do that. By the time I get down to 5 books I might be really good at reading.
