TOO MUCH TBR • May 2023

May 8, 2023 Leave a Comment

 

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

I didn’t read what I intended to read. Whoops.

PRIORITY MAY READS

  • In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune: “n a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots–fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, hidden and safe.”
  • Yellowface by R.F. Kuang: “What’s the harm in a pseudonym? New York Times bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American–in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R. F. Kuang in the vein of White Ivy and The Other Black Girl.”
MAY BOOKS I WANT TO READ

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang | Homebodies by Tembe Denton-Hurst | Threads That Bind by Kika Hatzopoulou | The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw

Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torzs | The Sun and the Star (A Nico Di Angelo Adventure) by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro | Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea by Rita Chang-Eppig | Ruby Lost and Found by Christina Li

The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich by Deya Muniz | Magic Has No Borders: A Collection of Magical South Asian Tales edited by Sona Charaipotra & Samira Ahmed | Transmogrify!: 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic edited by G. Haron Davis | Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley

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 January!

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?
