✨My Physical TBR: Part 1✨
The Winternight Trilogy:
❄️ The Girl in the Tower
❄️ The Winter of the Witch
The absolute need I have to get to the second and third books of this series probably needs to be studied. A few days earlier, I finished the first book “The Bear and the Nightingale” and absolutely loved it.
The Lords Series:
💀 The Ritual
If it isn’t obvious, I’m very late to the tik tok trend with this series of dark romances. I had been meaning to get my hands on a copy of this, but didn’t bite the bullet until recently.
The Glacian Trilogy:
❄️ Ledge
I honestly have no clue what this one is going to be about. I bought this last year while on a shopping day with my friend, and found the first page interesting. It has all my favorite tropes for a fantasy book…maps, a cold environment. But I’ve recently been hearing lots of good things about it, so I’m excited to finally start it!
🐙 Remarkably Bright Creatures:
Heard about this read through a friend at book club! Any book that has some sort of crazy smart animal is a read for me because I love that idea. This copy was another present I got for Christmas!
🐸 Apprentice to the Villain:
I’ve already read the first book in this series and it was close to a 5 star rating for me! Hoping this read lives up to its predecessor, but still think I’m going to like it if it’s not perfect (still more to the story, can’t give all of it away!)
