Hello friends!

Can you believe we are almost in June? This year is flying by and I’m seriously having a hard time keeping up! But do you know what I keep up with? My reading! So as usual, I’m bringing you my TBR list for the month of June – what a segue, I know.

May was a great month full of great books – and you’ll read all about it in the upcoming Wrap Up post -, so I can only hope June is going to be as good!

For this month, my TBR is going to consist of 2 audiobooks and 3 paperbacks. Two paperbacks are standalones (one is contemporary and the other one is fantasy), and the other paperback is the first book of a fantasy trilogy. Regarding the audiobooks: one is a standalone fantasy book and the other is the first book of a contemporary series! So as you can see, no non-fiction books this month! To be honest, I’ve been loving fiction right now, so that’s what I’m going for this month.

But see the books for yourself! Here are the books I’m planning on reading this next month:

1. Beartown (Beartown #1) by Fredrik Backman
   Starting strong with one of the audiobooks I want to read this month. This is a very popular series and I’ve been wanting to read this for a very long time. So this month I’m going to start this series and see how it goes. I’ve heard this is a hard one to go through, but I feel like I’m ready!
   
2. Caraval (Caraval #1) by Stephanie Garber
   Another series I’ve been wanting to start for a very long time is “Caraval”! So this month I want to start this by picking up the first book in the series in a paperback format. I have the entire trilogy waiting for me on my shelf, so I have no reason to postpone this any more. I have high hopes for this one!
   
3. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh
   This was a fairly recent purchase, but I decided to add this to my TBR this month and forget about my older books on my shelf because I’m so excited to read this! So this is one of the physical copies I want to read this month. You have probably seen or heard about this book before, but it’s essentially a standalone fantasy book, more specifically a mythological retelling. Very excited for this one!
   
4. Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater
   This is the fantasy standalone that I want to listen to this month! I’m sure you recognize her name: this is the author who wrote the iconic “Raven Cycle” series and “Shiver” series! Apparently this is a “Brave” retelling, and the story is picked up a few years after the original story ends. I thought this would be a really cool read, and I’m excited to see what it is like! Maybe I should watch the movie one more time before I start this?
   
5. Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow
   Last but not least, I have my last contemporary fiction book to be read in a paperback format! It’s impossible you have never heard about this book so I’m not going to bore you with details. What I’ll say is that I’ve heard this is an amazing and impactful book, and I can’t wait to see what the hype is all about! Also, I’ll have tissues near me because I already know I’m going to cry.

Aaaand there you have it friends, my TBR list for June! As usual, I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you read any of these or if you have any recommendations for me. You know I’m always grateful for those!

Thank you for reading, have a great day!

Hello friends!

I hope you’re doing well and you’re reading a lot! As usual, I’m bringing you my TBR list for the month of May. April was an amazing reading month, full of fun and romantic reads – you’ll read all about it in the upcoming Wrap Up post!

For this month, my TBR is going to consist of 2 audiobooks and 3 paperbacks. Two of the paperbacks form a duology, and the other paperback is a YA stand alone – but they’re all contemporary fiction. But not the audiobooks! One of the audiobooks is fantasy and the other is non-fiction. 

See them for yourself! Here are the books I’m planning on reading this next month:

1. Lore by Alexandra Bracken
   We are starting strong with my first audiobook pick of my TBR. This is the fantasy book I was talking about! This was very popular a while ago, but I never had a chance to pick it up. Well, that ends in May! I don’t know a lot about the story itself – by my choice -, but this has been on my TBR for a very long time and now it’s time to finally listen to it!
   
2. Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne
   For this month I decided to pick up a book that has been on my shelf for a very long time! I’m talking about “Am I Normal Yet?” by Holly Bourne. I believe this is a YA romance book with a coming of age story, following a girl with OCD. I don’t gravitate towards YA books like this anymore because I feel like I’ve outgrown these coming of age stories, but I still want to read it since I bought it. We’ll see, fingers crossed!
   
3. The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben
   Another book I don’t know much about – the only thing I know is the fact that this is a non-fiction book about Nature! I’m very excited about this one! I’m hoping to learn some things soon.
   
4. Tudo o Que Nunca Fomos / Todo Lo Que Nunca Fuimos (Deja Que Ocurra #1) by Alice Kellen
   This is the first book of the contemporary romance duology I just told you about. It is a book written by a Spanish author, and as far as I know, this wasn’t translated to English. I bought it a while ago, because it was translated to Portuguese! I’ve had this for so long on my shelves, and I’m excited to finally read it!
   
5. Tudo o Que Somos Juntos / Todo Lo Que Somos Juntos (Deja Que Ocurra #2) by Alice Kellen
   This is the second book of the duology I mentioned above! Hopefully I will be able to finish the entire duology in May.

Aaaand there you have it friends, my TBR list for May! As usual, I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you read any of these or if you have any recommendations for me. You know I’m always grateful for those!

Thank you for reading, have a great day!

Hello friends!

First of all, happy Spring y’all! I’m feeling so incredibly happy lately with the warmer days and all the pretty flowers blooming that I wanted to pass that feeling to you! I want to send you all love, and I truly hope you are all happy and feeling well.

Well, going back to today’s post: you know what’s coming – well, you read the title. Today I’m bringing you my TBR list for April! I admit March was an okay reading month, but not the way I planned. I read a few books, but I wasn’t able to finish all the books I wanted! My Wrap Up is coming soon and I’ll tell you all about it.

But since it wasn’t a month like I planned, I’m trying something different for April.

As you know, every month I create a 5 book TBR list monthly, which will include: 2 printed copies, 2 audiobooks and 1 ebook. The thing is, my physical copies are piling up because I wasn’t able to finish them all yet! So since I still have a few physical books to finish, my TBR for this month is going to be mostly audiobooks – with a single physical copy in the mix! I hope with this decision I will be able to balance things a little and catch up with my physical reads!

So, without further ado, here are the books I’m planning on reading this next month:

1. Why We Sleep by Mathew Walker, PhD
   We are starting strong with my first audiobook pick of my TBR: “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker. I’ve always liked to pick up random non-fiction books about random topics because I always learn a lot! I’ve heard great things about this book and I’m looking forward to learning a few new things about sleep. I’ll let you know if it’s worth it!
   
2. As Filhas da Floresta (El Bosque Sabe Tu Nombre) by Alaitz Leceaga
   This is the physical copy of the month! Unfortunately this book doesn’t have an English version available – it is only available in Portuguese (my copy’s language) and Spanish (the original version). I have had this book on my shelf for soooo long and now it’s time to give it a go. I admit I don’t know a lot about it, except that it’s a fantasy book about two twin sisters. I’m excited to see what it’s all about!
   
3. Me by Elton John
   I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know much about Sir Elton John. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn more about him and his life! So there you go – this is my second audiobook pick for April!
   
4. Blade of Secrets (Bladesmith #1) by Tricia Levenseller
   Tricia Levenseller is an amazing writer, and I truly love her young adult fantasy books. This the first book in a (fairly) new duology and I’m very excited to pick it up! I love to read book series, but I often don’t pick them up because I get bored easily if the series is huge. So duologies are perfect for me! I’ll let you know what I think of this one.
   
5. Once Upon a K-Prom by Kat Cho
   My fourth audiobook of the list is a book I tried to read before but never finished: it’s the book “Once Upon a K-Prom” by Kat Cho. I’m a huge K-Pop fan, so I’ve had this book in my TBR for a while now. I believe this is about two teens that were best friends since they were kids, and they promised each other they would go to prom together when they grow up. The boy grew up and became a big k-pop star and he comes back to his hometown and asks the girl out! I’m very excited for this one, I believe this is going to be a fun read.

Aaaand there you have it friends, my TBR list for April! As usual, I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you read any of these or if you have any recommendations for me. You know I’m always grateful for those!

Thank you for reading, have a great day!

Hello everyone!

It’s that time of the month: today I’m bringing you my TBR list for March! When 2023 began, I was a little skeptical about writing monthly TBRs again, but right now this method is working very well, so I’m excited to keep up doing these!

February was a better reading month than January, and I feel like I’m starting to gain momentum again! Still, I have to admit I’m having a harder time picking up my printed copies more frequently… but we’ll deal with a struggle at a time!

Like I said in my previous TBR posts, my plan for now is to create a 5 book TBR list monthly, which will include: 2 printed copies, 2 audiobooks and 1 ebook. 

So, without further ado, here are the books I’m planning on reading in March!

1. The Fever Code (The Maze Runner #0.5) by James Dashner
   In February I was able to reread not only “The Death Cure”, but also the first prequel of the series, “The Kill Order”. For this month, the challenge is to continue the series by reading “The Fever Code”! If I remember correctly, this is the book of the time right before the trials started! I don’t remember a lot from this book other than a few flashbacks, so I’m excited to revisit it! This will be listening to this one as an audiobook!
   
2. Daughter of the Moon Goddess (The Celestial Kingdom #1) by Sue Lynn Tan
   One of my physical copies that I want to read in March is the first book in this duology! It has been on my shelf for a few months and I think it’s time to give it some time to shine. I’m excited to see what it’s all about!
   
3. The Thief Who Sang Storms by Sophie Anderson
   My second physical copy of the month is the latest release from Sophie Anderson. She is my favorite middle grade book writer of all time because she always creates the most beautiful, endearing stories. I don’t know anything about this one, not even if it’s related to her other stories, but I’m very excited to find out.
   
4. A Thousand Heartbeats by Kiera Cass
   My ebook for the month is the most recent release from Kiera Cass. This author holds a very special place in my heart, since “The Selection” series was one of my favorite series I read when I started reading more. I’ve read other books from Kiera Cass hoping I’ll find another Selection, but it never happened. Still, my hopeful heart is always waiting to give her a new opportunity, so that is why I decided to add this to my March TBR!
   
5. Spare by Prince Harry
   Friends, I have to be super honest with you: with everything I’ve heard from this book… I’m scared to pick it up. I’ve heard it’s a cringe fest and that it’s a very controversial book, but I’m still very curious about it! So, why not? I will also be listening to this as an audiobook.

Great books, right? There you have it friends, my TBR list for March. I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you read any of these or if you have any recommendations for me. You know I’m always grateful for those!

Thank you for reading, have a great day!

Hello everyone!

Today I’m bringing you my TBR list for February. January didn’t go as planned and I ended up not reading all the books I wanted, but it was a very busy month for me and I definitely wasn’t counting on that. I still was able to read a little, so that’s good!

I’m keeping my plan on doing a 5 book TBR list monthly, which includes 2 printed copies, 2 audiobooks and 1 ebook. So, without further ado, here are the books I’m planning on reading in February:

1. The Death Cure (The Maze Runner #3) by James Dashner
   I was maybe too hopeful I would reread the third book and the first prequel for the Maze Runner series in January, but I just finished the second one! Right now I’m focused on picking up The Death Cure next. I’m very happy I decided to pick up this series once again – I’m having so much fun revisiting this story!
   
2. The Freshman (College Years #1) by Monica Murphy
   For my monthly ebook, I decided to go with an easy read so I’m going to pick up The Freshman by Monica Murphy. This is a 4-book romance series and I think I’ll read this quickly since I devour books like this super fast. I hope it’s good!
   
3. How To Be Perfect by Michael Schur
   This is a book that captivated me by the title and by the cover. I think this is the perfect opportunity to listen to this as an audiobook. I have high hopes for this one!
   
4. The Club by Ellery Lloyd
   This was on my January TBR and I started to read it but I’m still far from finishing it. So one of my reading goals for February is to finish this one!
   
5. The Roadtrip by Beth O’Leary
   This has been on my TBR for a while, and now it’s time to read it! I read the synopsis and I thought the story looked interesting for a romance! Also, I have a printed copy in Portuguese, so it’s another opportunity for me to read a book from physical TBR.

And there you have it friends, my TBR list for February. I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you read any of these or if you have any recommendations.

Thank you for reading, have a great day!

Hello everyone!

This year I decided to bring my TBR Lists again, so today I’m bringing you my TBR List for January! I’m very excited to bring these TBR Lists again because it helps a lot with giving some structure to my reading and reading goals for the year.

So, without further ado, here are the books I’m planning on reading in January:

1. The Death Cure (The Maze Runner #3) by James Dashner
   Recently I’ve started rereading “The Mazer Runner” series again and right now (the time I’m writing this TBR List), I’m almost done with the second book, “The Scorch Trials”! I’m very excited to read this series again, and I’m planning on listening to the audiobook for the third book this month.
   
2. The Kill Order (The Maze Runner #0.4) by James Dashner
   So I’m not only planning on reading the third book, but the first prequel as well! I’m listening this as an audiobook as well.
   
3. The Club by Ellery Lloyd
   I recently bought this book because it became popular here in Portugal! I’m excited to read this one and see what it’s all about. It has been a while since I have read a thriller, so this will be the first one I’ve picked up in a while. Hopefully I’ll get to read another book from my physical TBR!
   
4. Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa
   Another book I bought that has been on my physical TBR for a few months now. It’s a fairly small book, so I think this will be great motivation for me to start the year!
   
5. #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso
   I started reading this book last year, and I’m planning on finishing in January. This will be my ebook of the month! We’ll see how that goes.

And there you have it friends, my TBR list for January. I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you read any of these or if you have any recommendations.

Thank you for reading, have a great day!
