Hello and welcome to my May TBR! This month I am going to be keeping my TBR on the smaller size to hopefully give me the opportunity to do some mood reading, which really helped out the second half of April.
The Books
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow, I have been reading The Discovery of Witches series on my ereader and really enjoying it. I ended up walking into my local indie bookshop and I was talking about really enjoying it and the seller recommended this book to me. It is a historical fiction, but all about sisters joining the suffragist movement with a twist of witchcraft from my understanding.
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, I have heard nothing but great things about this book and I came across it being on sale on a recent trip to the bookstore, so I thought it was the best time to pick it up and give it a go. I am really interested in this because it is multigenerational from my understanding and is historical fiction.
A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa, I picked this book up on a total whim if I am being honest. I saw a youtuber I enjoy watching get this book and they were so excited about it I just couldn’t help myself. I have no idea what it is about, but I feel like that it is kinda fun and will make it all the more interesting when I read it this month.
The Agonist by Shastra Deo, not pictured, I am reading this book digitally. This is a collection of poems by an author who was born in Fiji. Reading the blurb and reviews I have come across say that it is beautifully written as well as being food for thought and conversation.
What do you plan on reading this month?
I think the only book I plan on trying to read this month is The Mask Falling by Samantha Shannon. I don’t know how well that will go but, we’ll see.

I hope you are able to get to it soon enough. I am planning on starting it this week, but I only have heard great things about it so I am really optimistic.

I just got through typing up my TBR post and I once again set an ambitious TBR for myself. I will be sharing it on Wednesday.

I will have to track it down now Misty! I just have not been reading and I don’t want to feel like I am “failing” if that makes sense. I want my reading to pick back up sooner rather than later and I think less restrictions and leaving a lot of it open will hopefully be helpful.
