TBR for the rest of the week

I have 3 hours left in Onyx storm, 3 hours left in sword of the seven sins, 5.5 hours left in yellowface and I will be starting the perfect child. #fantasytbr #fantasy #lemon8books #reading #books

2025/1/28 Edited to

As avid readers, it's essential to fill our TBR (to-be-read) lists with books that excite and inspire us. Currently, I have a mix of genres that includes fantasy and suspense. 'Onyx Storm' offers a thrilling experience in a world of love and danger, making it a must-read for those who enjoy high-stakes adventures. Following this, 'Sword of the Seven Sins' captivates with its New York Times bestselling status, drawing readers into a richly crafted narrative filled with intrigue and moral complexities. 'Yellowface' by R.F. Kuang brings forth important discussions surrounding identity and representation in literature, positioning itself as a contemporary essential for thoughtful readers. Lastly, 'The Perfect Child' by Lucinda Berry presents a mysterious and chilling tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Each of these selections not only promises outstanding storytelling but also the kind of depth and reflection that enriches our reading lives.

Hi @Serena 📓📚🧚🏽, I was born & raised in Virginia and I was just curious where you were close to in Va? Of course not like your actual place but just near bc I grew up around Catlett but we had lived in Ashburn (10 mins from Reston) for almost 8 years. I live in Pennsylvania now it’s def not the same.
