TOO MUCH TBR • May 2022

Okay, this is a super late post, but better late than never.

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 get down to it.

I’m still making my way through Queen of Tiles and (mainly) Daughter of the Moon Goddess. 

• Queen of The Tiles: “They Wish They Were Us meets The Queen’s Gambit in the world of competitive Scrabble when a teen girl is forced to investigate the mysterious death of her best friend a year after the fact when her Instagram comes back to life with cryptic posts and messages.” I am all for a murder mystery involving Scrabble and a Muslim main character!
• Daughter of the Moon Goddess: “A captivating debut fantasy inspired by the legend of Chang’e, the Chinese moon goddess, in which a young woman’s quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm.” Chinese mythology galore! Of course I’m reading this.

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo | I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston |
Book of Night by Holly Black | The Hacienda by Isabel Canas

The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester by Maya MacGregor | When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill | Book Lovers by Emily Henry | The Well by Jake Wyatt & Choo

Galaxy: The Prettiest Star by Jadzia Axelrod & Jess Taylor | Yerba Buena by Nina LaCour | Small Town Pride by Phil Stamper | Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor by Xiran Jay Zhao

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!

How was your April? Tell me what’s on your May TBR list. Have you read any of the books on my lists? Or are you planning to read them?
