Jolien Reads 411 Posted September 22, 2021 Ooh, creepy TBR Stacey! My TBR might change but for now I have Kings of Heaven (physical) House of Leaves (physical) Parable of the Sower (audio) Blood of an Exile (audio) Sword of Kaigen (physical) Magician (will already start this month - audio) The House in the Cerulean Sea (if time - audio) I have a bunch of firsts in a series that I REALLY want to read tall physical) but I'm having a hard time picking one. I've seen some people on booktube make a video out of it (Chris Bookish Cauldron is where I saw it). They pick X books they are interested in, read the first chapter of each and then give a little bit of an explanation of why they chose one specific book to continue with. I think I'll do that if I still have some space at the end of the month. 1 Stacyejaye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you can't get to the book this month, you could put it on your TBR for November. 1 bookchara reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
