Hello Readers! I hope you’re all staying well and safe. Since we are about to share our Summer TBRs this week on Top Ten Tuesday, I was inspired by several other bloggers to take a look back at My Spring 2020 TBR and see how many books I ended up reading.
(Link to Goodreads synopsis through book title.)

[usr 4.5]
My Review for The Simple Wild and Wild at Heart
5
The Bromance Book Club (Bromance Book Club, #1) by Lyssa Kay Adams
Not yet… I fully intended to pick this one up, but haven’t yet. It will probably appear on my Summer TBR. 🙂
6
Anna K by Jenny Lee
No. Not sure if this one will carry over to my Summer TBR or not, but I still want to read it soon!
7
Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
NO!!! Ergh. I think this one has been on all my TBRs. I now own the hardback and the audiobook. I have no excuses. I will continue to place it on my TBRs until I can cross it off.
8
Shadow and Bone (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Another no. I so want this to be the year I dive into the Grishaverse, but it’s a commitment, y’all!! It was pushed aside when I decided I needed to add more BIPOC authors to my reading. No regrets. I’m still determined to read it, though. They hold several places on my Reading Challenge. 🙂
9
Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust
Not yet…. but this one is not my fault. The publishing date was pushed back thanks to Covid, and I typically like to read them as close to their release date as I can. It will appear on my Summer TBR!
10
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
And no. Sadly, I had forgotten this one was on my tbr until I looked at it again. I still want to read it, but it probably won’t show up on my Summer TBR. I have a feeling it will end up being a mood-read choice at some point.
So, four out of ten. Not great. I think I’m more of a mood-reader than I thought. 😉 Do you have any of these books on your TBR? Have you read them already? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Wandering!
One reason I seldom make a TBR for a period of time is that i very seldom stick to them. At least you read four of them.
Yes! I think the main reason I make TBRs is because I enjoy making lists of books. ?
Ooh, this is a great idea! Four out of ten is better than none 😀 I loved The Bride Test and would definitely recommend listening to Daisy Jones — I did that while following along with the book sometimes too and it made the experience so much more enjoyable! I can’t wait to read Girl, Serpent, Thorn and look forward to hearing your thoughts on it too 😀 Happy reading!
I think I will listen to Daisy Jones and keep the book handy to read along with. Especially since I’m not a big audiobook listener. ?
I don’t think 4/10 is too bad (says the girl who usually only gets 1-2). I enjoyed Daisy Jones and the Six, but didn’t LOVE it like so many did. I also enjoyed The Bride Test a great deal, but maybe not quite as much as The Kiss Quotient (but I do recommend it).
You’re right! 4/10 is better than none. ? Oh ok. I love getting different opinions on books. I think I’d rather go into a book being cautious than overly hopeful, if that makes sense. ?
I totally feel this–I’m a mood reader for sure! I hardly ever stick to my TBRS…
Happy I’m not alone with my inability to stick to TBRs. ?
I adore The Bromance Book Club. I hope you enjoy it when you’re in the mood to read it.
It seems to be one everyone enjoys. Hopefully I can get to it soon!
Girl, Serpent, Thorn is on my TBR! I have to wait for it to be released, though, since I don’t do ARCs. And still, it might not be as many as you wanted, but you managed to read a large chunk of your Spring TBR books!
You’re probably very smart to not read ARCs. It’s a never-ending commitment. 😉 Yes, some is better than none!
Honestly, not too bad! I saw some on your summer TBR, which is awesome! I really liked Daisy Jones!! I hope that you do too, when you get to it! 🙂
I’m so excited to finally read Daisy Jones! It’ll feel like a big accomplishment once I do. 😉
