Mount TBR 2020 discussion

Hi! I'm Abi, and thanks to a library book sale and Christmas gifts, I'm back for my third year of Mount TBR. I think I have 12 books, or just about (here's hoping), and will try and finish them all before the year is out. I think the majority are physical, with maybe one or two ebooks.

So true, lol!

Wow—sounds like you have your TBR pile well managed! I've got the sequel to Carry On on my pile myself. (And even though "not buying more books" is part of my reason for doing this challenge, The Starless Sea has been calling to me...)

Cleopatra VII: Daughter of the Nile Review

Love in Focus Review

This was pretty good! Cute romance. I bought the two in paperback from Amazon because the series is only three books (so short!) and I liked the first one so much. The art is so pretty! Would definitely recommend.

3/12

Spin the Dawn Review

Last read for Spring Break. Spin the Dawn was freaking epic, and I can't wait for the second and final book in the series to release in July! Such a pretty cover, and an excellent story. I'm so hyped for book two! 100% recommended.

4/12

Airhead Review

This counts because it's a reread of a book that I bought and first read about six years ago, and haven't reread since. It was okay, but not really what I wanted. It just felt kind of contrived, and a bit meh, I guess.

Lo and behold, I was cleaning my room since I'm back from college and I found like three new TBR books, y'all! (This is good because I wasn't sure I was going to make it to 12 books with my current options. I don't really want to read the Terah Edun books, so sue me.)

The new reads are Princess Jellyfish, which I got from the library summer reading program last year (you read ten books and they let you pick one for free, I do it every year); I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter (bought last year at some point) and Undercover Princess, which I bought last summer in London, at Waterstones (I miss Waterstones).

Princess Jellyfish Omnibus 1 Review

This was my May TBR read, and while I was initially prepared to dislike it, it actually won me over and I'll be borrowing more of the series from the library when it (hopefully) reopens in a few months. Kuranosuke and Tsukimi are both fun main characters, and Shu's not bad either. All in all, while it was slightly cringy at times, it was also charming and funny. Recommended!

Gorgeous Review

I haven't reread this in six years and it held up excellently. Hilarious and one hell of a time! Recommended!
