"New Arrival" Library Books That Are On My TBR📚
The new fiction arrivals is the first place I check when I go to the library. While I limit myself to how many I check out, especially because of my never ending TBR at home, I do add them to my list of books to get another time. Here are the 4 that caught my eye while I was there, 2 of which I brought home with me!
🌙Water Moon

editing this post made me regret not bringing this one home with me but I doubt I would get to it anyway. It sounds SO good
🍓Strange Folk
🌱AUTHOR: Alli Dyer

I love a good witchy suspense. I would probably enjoy this more when the weather starts to get colder though.

A gender swapped retelling of the little mermaid. A stand alone historical was right up my alley right now

I loved the book The Daughter of The Moon Goddess from this author. This is another stand alone which is definitely what I need.
