reading my Tbr to make room for birthday books :)

The pile with local woman missing is my read pile and the other two is my Tbr/current reads 🙂.

My birthday is coming in three weeks 🥳. my stepdad is taking me to b&n for a massive book haul , my mom is buying me an Christmas themed book advent calendar and my boyfriend is buying me books and a kindle 🙂‍↔️.

I can probably get through atleast half the books by that time I already finished half blood now I’m going to try to finish hooked by tonight so over my road trip I can read pumpkin spice cafe 😩.

How many books are on your Tbr ? 👀

What are your five star reads ? I need some recs for the b&n haul 😉.

As the birthday celebration approaches, finding the perfect books to add to your collection is essential. Whether you're planning a big book haul or looking for the latest must-reads, there’s always something exciting to add to your TBR. Popular titles await you such as "Deity" by Freida McFadden, and the emotional rollercoaster from Colleen Hoover's works. A TBR (To Be Read) pile is a personal challenge that evolves as you find new stories that inspire you. It’s a great idea to mix genres, ensuring that you have captivating stories in various styles and themes. Consider popular books such as "Pestilence" and "Hooked" that were mentioned in your content. For those looking to enhance their reading journey, creating a well-rounded TBR can significantly impact your reading experience. Dive into recommendations and find a community that shares the same enthusiasm for reading. Don't forget to ask for your friends' five-star reads for added inspiration! Happy reading!
