As promised in yesterday’s Wrap-Up, here is this month’s TBR! I am going to aim high again, because it surely doesn’t hurt to plan to read a lot. As I’ve mentioned, I am starting work though, so no promises from my side. Here is my target book count for February:
- The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
This is my first Patrick Ness book and I am really excited. I’ve heard people saying that it’s not his best work though, so I am keeping my expectations in check! I will buddy read it with Marie @Drizzle and Hurricane Books and it’s all very informal with us discussing on Twitter. So, if you want to join in with us you are more than welcome to. - Lock & Mori by Heather W. Petty
I wanted this book for so long! Contemporary Sherlock stories are the best! (Hopefully that’s true!) - Trial by Fire by Josephine Angelini
I bought this book because I fell in love with the cover and when it finally arrived it was even more beautiful than I thought it would be. I have no idea if I will have the same sentiments about the story though, so I haven’t ordered its sequel yet. Let’s all hope together that I will love it! - Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray
I’ve been waiting a long time to get the sequel to A Thousand Pieces of You and will buddy read it with Marie as well. Our schedules are busy, but I am sure we will make it work! - Did I Mention I Need You? by Estelle Maskame
This month we will actually read it! And by we, I mean Cristina @My Tiny Obsessions and I. We were huge fans of the first book in the series, Did I Mention I Love You? so hopefully this one will be equally good. - Anything You Want by Geoff Herbach
I guess it entirely depends on my reading speed if I will get to the book. I am in no particular rush because it’s release is in May, but I would like to read it with Cristina as well, so maybe we will tackle it this month as well! - S. by J.J. Abrams/Doug Dorst
As a little remainder from last month, this book will stay in my TBR as a filler in between books until I finish it.

Good luck with this TBR, I’m sure you’ll smash it! And of course, have a great time at your new job! I also am yet to read a Patrick Ness book but I really want to. I feel as though The Rest of Us Just Live Here would be a good start. It appeals the most to me. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

Thank you! I am confident I will read a lot of it. My commute is pretty long, so it’s really perfect for reading.
I find TROUJLH to be hilarious and weird and entertaining but also a very quick read.

Right, I keep forgetting this is your first Patrick Ness book! I have high expectations for that one too since I LOVED the only book I’ve read of him so far. This buddy-reading is going to be so much fun 😀 And yes, despite our busy schedules, we’ll make it work 😀
I’m impressed by how many books you want to read this month, with your new job (thinking about you right now, hope this goes well!! <3). I hope you'll manage to read everything 😀

Yep, I could definitely see it becoming even stranger!
The entire commute takes more about an hour. Reading is a great way to spend that time.

If you like contemporary Sherlock Holmes-type stories, my friend Angela Misri publishes stories about a relative of John Watson in 1930’s London, “A Portia Adams Adventure”. I’m not sure if the first book, Jewel of the Thames, is available where you’re at, but it’s a thought.

Hahaha the 30s aren’t really contemporary in my mind, but thanks for the recommendation anyway!

Meh, last one-hundred years. For a history major, that’s contemporary enough.

Well by definition, and that’s what I am going by, contemporary means of modern/current/present age/time … so not the past hundred years hahaha

That’s too bad! I really am enjoying it so far, especially the notes on the side. I am not much of a fan of the actual story in the book … but it does help that I am back in my Black Sails phase and that it’s playing on a ship hahaha
