TBR Thursday (7)

It's been a little bit since I've done one of these because I have been horribly distracted but I've been doing my best to attempt to read each day and I haven't been bringing new books into the house so I don't have that guilt at least! I hope your reading lives have been better than mine.

Here's what's possibly up next in my reading life (always subject to change based on mood and general flakiness): 



I'm super excited to read both of these because they've received excellent reviews from people who read much faster than I ever will. Both are dark fiction and I might have to sneak something light and sexy in there as a breather - I just don't know what yet. If you have any recs let me know in the comments.

Currently Reading:




In Darkness Delight: Creatures of the Night is a (so far) solid collection of creepy crawly monsters with some nice surprises. It's perfect for me right now because I seem only able to read in short bursts before my mind flits away and decides it no longer feels like focusing. It features a few familiar but mostly new-to-me authors. I'll get a review up when I finish that focuses on my favorites.

I hope your week is going excellently and that all of your reads are five-star books! ♥

    All I've managed to read in the last two weeks are re-reads of Harry Potter! I just don't feel like reading anything else at the moment!

    Once I get into a book I'm usually okay, but making myself choose a new book to read and actually open it up and start reading has been harder than usual. What a strange year it's been!

    I've only been able to read in short bursts too. That sounds creepy. Hope you like the others as well.

    That cover to In Darkness Delight is hard to look at. (It's awesome.) I read Whispers in the Dark. I hope you like it. I've heard great things about The Only Good Indians, but I haven't read it yet. Happy reading!

      Thank you! I'm looking forward to both of them but still haven't finished my current book (ugh, my easily distracted brain).

Got My Eye On (8)

I saw a post over at  Mailbox Monday  that was encouraging readers to share their best finds of the week via their  Books That Caught Our Eye  posts. I love, love, love that idea so this is my warped version of it. Here are the books I've added to my wishlist over the last week or two with credit to my enablers :) Bookfanatic @  Booklikes   Buy  /  GR What Remains by Garrett Leigh (m/m romance) Web designer Jodi Peters is a solitary creature.

Tackling the TBR List in 2018: Time to Vote!

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile. I did have one vote for Blood Rubies & In Cold Blood.  Click Cover for More About the Books             ...
