Overly Ambitious TBR

So many books so little time

In February I have a lot of books I’m dying to read but will I have enough time to get through them all we shall see.

As well as all the books I have pictured I have 3 Ebooks I want to read:

Saving Noah by Lucinda Berry I read The Perfect Child by her in January and am itching to read more things she wrote.

Out There Screaming Edited by Jordan Peele a horror anthology from a range of black authors that is the Literally Dead book club’s section for February

The Drift by C.J. Tudor I don’t know much about this one but I’d like to get in one more snowy horror/thriller before winters over.

And that’s all my hopeful reading plans for February I hope to get to as many as I can! What are your reading plans this month?

Tudor, which promises a snowy thriller experience before the winter season fades. Whether you’re a fan of romance, horror, or contemporary fiction, February holds countless opportunities to discover your next favorite read. Consider participating in reading challenges or book clubs to enhance your literary journey. Sharing your TBR can also inspire others in the community.
