TOO MUCH TBR • July 2022

July 7, 2022 Comment : 1

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.

BACK IN JUNE

In May, I finished one book. In June? I finished two!!

  • The Bone Maker by Sarah Beth Durst. I enjoyed the idea of reading a story where it revisits the heroes years later. I wish it was more gothic than it was since it involves bones.
  • Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf. A murder mystery set during a Scrabble tournament in Malaysia.
PRIORITY JULY READS

  • Siren Queen: “Siren Queen offers up an enthralling exploration of an outsider achieving stardom on her own terms, in a fantastical Hollywood where the monsters are real and the magic of the silver screen illuminates every page.” What lengths does Luli Wei, a young Asian American girl, go to achieve the Hollywood stardom she desperately wants?
  • Babel: “Babel — a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal response to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell — grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of translation as a tool of empire.” Dark academia with an Asian main character. Ready for this.
JULY BOOKS I WANT TO READ

The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia | Mary: An Awakening of Terror by Nat Cassidy | Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens | What Moves The Dead by T. Kingfisher | Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey

Gender Queer: A Memoir Deluxe Edition by Maia Kobabe | Sirens & Muses by Antonia Angress | Youngblood by Sasha Laurens | All Four Quarters of the Moon by Shirley Marr | Lore Olympus: Volume Two by Rachel Smythe

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 June!

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