2023 tbr

 2022 started off strong but then dwindled. I'm hoping this year i can keep the momentum up and read at least 2 books per month with a goal of 30 books in total. Below is what I would like to read this year. There are quite a bit of comic books in this year's TBR.

1. The Dawn of Yangchen by F.C. Yee
   This is book 1 of the Yangchen Novels. This is from the world of Avatar the Last Airbender one of my top favorite Nick shows. I plan on reading the entire comic book collection so I am starting the series in chronological order. I started this book in December so it should be done shortly.
   
   
2. Charmed Comic Books
   I've been trying to find this collection so I want to make a note here that I have been reading this slowly.
   
   
3. Locke & Key by Joe Hill and Illustrated by Gabriel Rodirguez.
   Starting with Volume 1: Welcome to Lovecraft. Trying to get this comic books series from the library.
   
   
4. A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Galbadon
   The sixth book of the Outlander series. Will be reading this while i anxiously wait for the show to return.
   
   
5. The Elfstones of Shannara by Terry Brooks
   The second book of the Shannara Trilogy. I predict this may take some time.
   
   
6. The Blood Spell by C.J. Redwine
   the fourth book of the Ravenspire series.

2022 wrap up

 2022 APRIL through DECEMBER

• The Mind Thieves -  Mind Readers #2 by Lori Brighton (4 Stars)
  
  
• Winter (book 4 of The Lunar Chronicles ) by Marissa Meyer. (5 stars)
  I loved it. Never leaving my shelf.
  
  
• The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton (3 stars)
  A new way of seeing a murder case
  
  
• Ocean's Secret by Demelza Carlon (2 stars)
  
  
• Atlantis Rising by T.A. Barron (3 stars)
  A little of a slow read for me which is why i rated it 3 stars but i do plan on continuing the series.
  
  
• Girls Made of Snow and Glass by  Melissa Bashardoust (3 stars)
  I was gifted this book years ago when i was having step daughter issues. So i was afraid to read it and realize I'm the evil stepmother but it's a cute read and I wish i did read it when i got it. More likely not staying on my shelf.
  
  
• Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw (4 stars)
  The beginning was hard for me to get through because of her insecurities. Sally felt brave and strong in the film and since this is taken after that took place I expected her to be more like the middle towards the end of the book. Other than that I liked the story.
  
  
• Swimmer by Avily Jerome (3 stars)
  Intriguing. I'm Hooked.
  
  
• Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron (3 stars)
  Like the characters. Female empowerment and strength. Very quick read and kept my interest. Three stars because I liked it but not enough to keep in my library.
  
  
• A Mouse Called Mika by Matt Haig and Illustrated by Chris Mould (3 stars)
  From the World of A Boy Called Christmas. I read this book with my nephew Stephen. We both enjoyed the story. It lacked a little compared to the other books in the world but cute for a Christmas read.
  
  
• Meropolis by Sol Stanley (1 star)
  A children's chapter book. Part of a series I won't continue. Read book up to Chapter 8 but did not enjoy enough to continue.
