The Midnight Readers discussion

Does anyone else do monthly TBRs or just me? This is a place to comment them. Even if you don't do monthly TBRs, you can comment books that you want to read in the upcoming weeks/months without making an official list :)

I usually do and I usually end up not completing it and reading other random books for Readathons

September 2020 TBR:

1. Everything Sad Is Untrue Everything Sad Is Untrue

This has the prettiest cover on the universe!! It's the September book I picked for my neighborhood book club and I really hope everyone will like it, because it's the first book I've suggested. I'm super excited to start it. I got it on hardcover (I NEVER get hardcover but it's just so pretty lol)

2. The Secret of White Stone Gate The Secret of White Stone Gate

Second book of this series that I'm reading. I'm going to get it for free on my kindle through my public library.

3. Nightfall (Book 6 of KOTLC) Nightfall

I plan to get this on my trip to the bookstore. (this sunday, I'm so excited!) I don't nessicarily want to finish it, I just want to start it because I don't want to forget the whole series. It's a HUGE book.


This is a super short TBR, because I am planning on adding a lot more to it after I go on my trip to the bookstore. (I never go the bookstore, because it's out of town.)

i loved nightfall!

it was good? I"m so excited to red it!

I’d be horrible at setting up a monthly tbr because I’m not very good at planning that stuff out, but I think my monthly tbr right now is just my owned-tbr, which is at like 14 books right now. I think it might be a personal record, usually I don’t have anything to read 😂

I want to try to read these books, but there’s no guarantee I’ll go through the whole list since I do change my mind sometimes.

Bone Crier’s Moon
Five Feet Apart
The Mysterious Affair At Styles
It’s Not Summer Without You
We’ll Always Have Summer
This Savage Song
Sea Witch Rising
Clap When You Land
Wilder Girls
Cinderella is Dead

I honestly never make one bc I’m a mood reader. I read what I want when I want. I’ll read library holds when they come in and I’ll do buddy reads but I’d member be able to stick to a list

I'm also a mood reader. usually (not this month tho) I pick about 10-15 books to read and then I actually read 3-5 and it all just depends on my mood lol

My TBR is so long compared to yours! I have 217 books on my regular TBR and 65 on my owned TBR!

I've only recently started doing monthly TBRs. I'm definitely a mood reader, but I'm doing a challenge this month and I really want to do well so my TBR is very long and ambitious. I was kind of in a bit of a slump last month so I am hoping I will get caught up. I'll post it in a few minutes.

I also only recently started doing Monthly TBR but I’m liking it

i've never though about doing this, but i like it haha. i'm currently reading 1Q84 (it's over 1000 pages), so idk if i'll be able to read much more than that ahaha. but if i do finish it, then i want to read one flew over the cuckoo's nest and persuasion. maybe even emma if i have time haha. (i'm going through a classics phase XD)

Ooooooooh! A lot of the books you just mentioned are on my TBR. Are you doing a readathon?

It's a month-long readathon for the group 'A Bookish Adventure'. It's called the Back-to-School readathon, and there are a few prompts for each class. You don't have to do all of them because there are almost 50! I tried to fit in books that have been on my TBR for a while, were BOTMs, or that fit the prompts that were worth the most amount of points.

Hey guys! So I just edited the title of this topic so that it's "Monthly TBRs and Wrap-Ups." Post everything you read in September here :)
