In April, I don’t know what happened. I neglected my reading, especially the books on my TBR list. I guess I was focused on the two concerts I was going to and work. :P I did read a bunch of graphic novels, and they filled my heart with a lot of joy.
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 APRIL |
|---|
In April, I planned to read six books, and guess what! I only read two. Oops.
Book I read and finished:
- Geekerella: Absolutely fantastic. What a fun retelling of Cinderella using fandom and cosplay.
- If We Were Villains: Love the complicated relationships between the character, and how these characters talked to each other in
Comic I read and finished:
- Welcome Back, Vol. 1: Help, I’m Alive: Reincarnated awesomeness. Mal and Tessa have lived so many lives where they fight to kill each other. Maybe not this time.
- Snotgirl, Vol. 1: Green Hair Don’t Care: Fashion blogger who’s life takes a turn to the unexpected. Very shallow satire. However, the art is fucking incredible.
- Over The Garden Wall: Tome of the Unknown: I love this so much. I am Wirt.
- Gotham Academy, Vol. 1: Welcome to Gotham Academy
- Gotham Academy, Vol. 2: Calamity
- Spill Zone: So bizarre and creepy! This Spill brings such weird things. The art + colors = amazing.
I started but didn’t finish yet:
- The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horwitz (Magicians, apprentices, one-winged princess, mechanical monsters.
- The Spectacular Sisterhood of Superwomen by Hope Nicholson
I didn’t read:
| PRIORITY MAY READS |
|---|
- The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horwitz (Magicians, apprentices, one-winged princess, mechanical monsters.
- The Spectacular Sisterhood of Superwomen by Hope Nicholson (Superheroines!!!!)
- The Sand Warrior (5 Worlds #1) by Mark Siegel (Three kids teams up to light the beacon to save their world.)
- And We’re Off by Dana Schwartz (Reading this right now, and mehh. Girl goes to Europe and her mother decides to tag along.)
- The Unexpected Life of Oliver Cromwell Pitts by Avi (It is written by Avi…)
- Shattered Warrior by Sharon Shinn and Molly Knox Ostertag (Fight for survival, but also found family?! UM YES!)
- The Fashion Committee by Susan Juby (Two teens competing for a scholarship to a private art high school. Who will be the victor?)
- I Believe In A Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo (Girl uses kdrama tactics for her love life? I am in!)
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 May!
I think this is a great way to see what you need to read and to push yourself to reach the goal. I will definitely be falling behind this month on reading since I have family coming out to visit for a couple weeks.
At least you read two books that you enjoyed and loved. Numbers are not important. That’s my recent lesson. I hope you get to read more this month considering you have lots of great looking books. I do need to read more graphic books. I enjoyed and loved them back when I was in junior and senior high schools. 😁
Have a great day.
I’m definitely reading The Fashion Committee this month too! I Believe in a Thing Called Love looks cute too. Hope your May reading is better than April. I didn’t read as much last month as I wanted to either.
i WISH that doing monthly TBRs worked for me, instead they only seem to make me not want to read, because halfway through the month I decide that I don’t want to read those books, and want to read other books, but then I feel like I NEED to read the books I chose and AGH it’s just a vicious circle. I hope you end up having a better reading month in May, though! I Believe In A Thing Called Love sounds the CUTEST.
