Keep ’em short, and I’ll hit my reading goals.
For those who do not know, Too Much TBR is a way to help me see which books I really need to read and tackle them. Is it effective? Perhaps. It helps a lot seeing a visual of the books on my TBR pile.
Let’s discuss what I read last month, and what I’m reading this month!
| BACK IN FEBRUARY |
|---|
In February, I only committed to reading four books. Did I get through all four? YES!
The four priority February books I read were:
- Speak: Classic YA book you gotta read. The one I read was a new graphic novel adaptation, and oh my, Emily Carroll did a beautiful job illustrating the scenes.
- Is This Guy for Real?: The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman: Andy Kaufman is a weird guy, but I can see why many people enjoyed watching this comedian. He pushed a lot of boundaries, and you can’t help but admire what he’s accomplished with his comedic acts.
- The Prince and the Dressmaker: CUTE. This is an absolutely delightful graphic novel. A boy who loves dressing up in dresses! It’s very uplifting.
- Bygone Badass Broads: 52 Forgotten Women Who Changed the World: I want Mackenzi Lee to regale me more tales of badass ladies in history. She makes it so much fun and accessible!
I also read The Wicked + The Divine 1923 (which is so divine, and I have a hard time speaking of how beautiful it is because goddamn, it has my heart and soul), and The Wicked + The Divine Vol. 5 + 6 (shit hits the fans in these volumes, and I’m not ready for it to end!).
| PRIORITY MARCH READS |
|---|
- The Tangled Lands: I don’t know too much about this book aside from how it’s a book with four interconnected stories of a world. Interested to see how that works.
- Dress Like A Woman: Working Women and What They Wore: What perfect book to look through Women’s History month than a photography book about what women wore throughout history?
- Pacifica: Climate change has destroyed the world, so what happens next? That is this book.
- The Price Guide to the Occult: WITCHES. I’m in the middle of reading this, and I’m riveted by Nor’s fear of her mother.
- Radical Element: 12 Stories of Daredevils, Debutantes, & Other Dauntless Girls: Different girls of different walks of life and era challenging what girls is “supposed” to do.
- A Possibility of Whales: All of Karen Rivers’s Middle Grades have a special place in my heart for being beautiful and gutwrenching. I expect this MG will be no different.

Note: All these books here do not account for other books that may slip into my TBR list (because mood reading will probably happen) nor of the comics I will be reading. I’m sure I missed other books I want to read this month too, but since I can’t remember, it must not be priority, right? Let’s hope I make a dent in my TBR books for March!
I love The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender!! I hope The Price Guide to Occult lives up to expectation because Ava Lavender is so lyrical and beautiful!!
So expected for that Mulan retelling!!
YOU MUST READ CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE!!! It is awesome and you will love it!!
This looks like a really good month! Hope you read all that you wanted to.
I read The Atonishing Color of After in just a day! It’s so gorgeous.
