I’ve made a lot of reading resolutions for 2017, and one of them is to be better about cultivating a monthly TBR. I know so many bloggers do beginning of the month TBR posts and I always LOVE reading them, so I’ve decided to post my own as well! I will include my physical, e-book, and ARC TBRs as well as a status update of where I am prior to starting my upcoming month’s TBR.
Reading Progress Prior To This Month: 60/60 Books Read
Woohoo, I have successfully completed my Goodreads reading challenge! As of October 1st, the pressure is OFF (but ironically, I am in the mood to read more than ever). I also haven’t kept up with a monthly TBR plan since March, but I’m hoping to get back into the swing of it for the remainder of the year!
Being October, I’m really in the mood for thrillers or other spooky reads, which is reflected in my TBR. I actually just finished The Name Of the Star by Maureen Johnson on October 1st (it was the book the completed my Goodreads challenge!) and I loved being pulled into that spooky atmosphere! It’s set me up to want to continue the trend with my TBR this month.
My physical TBR this month is full of pre-orders from September that I haven’t cracked open yet. The ARCs are all appropriately creepy or autumn themed (and I’m STILL SCREAMING about getting approved for The Becoming of Noah Shaw on NetGalley, THANK YOU THANK YOU SIMON & SCHUSTER). My library book is actually summer themed, but I am determined to finish off the Black Dog Bay series before the end of the year after Lauren got me hooked on it!
Did any of these make your TBR this month? Do you have any Halloween reads lined up? Let me know in the comments!
Moxie is on my TBR this month too! And I’m really interested in checking out The Breathless!
I just finished Moxie last night and I am sooooo fired up after reading it lol
I just finished The Hanging Girl and quite enjoyed it. I can’t wait for the creepy books in this halloween season!
I can’t wait to get to it! The cover is kind of creeping me out though I will admit, hahaha!
I haven’t read Stephanie Perkins, but I’m really curious about There’s Someone Inside Your House. When I saw the title, I immediately thought about that urban legend with the babysitter who calls for help after getting prank called, only to find out the calls are coming from inside the house. Hope you enjoy all the books you pick up this month.
OH GOD yes, I know that movie- When a Stranger Calls! It was the first “scary” movie I ever saw (I was a preteen on a “date” with 10 of my closest friends LOL).
YAY for Black Dog Bay!!
YAS IT WAS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD GIVE ME A MILLION MORE BOOKS ABOUT JAKE PLZ
Good luck with your montly TBR. I’m interested in the new Stephanie Perkins books.
It’s really different, but I hear it’s good! I am still trying to work up the courage to read it but my BF already has and he really enjoyed it!
Looks like a great TBR for October! Happy fall reading!
Why thank you, Krysti! I hope you’re getting some lovely fall weather and reading this season!
Well done on completing your GR challenge! 60 books is brilliant.
I haven’t really included any thrillers on my TBR because I’ve just been reading them as and when the mood strikes. And right now I’ve diverted from my TBR because the mood is striking hard! I love October so much XD
Thank you, Amber! I am honestly the worst mood reader lately, but I think it’s a bit easier for me to build and stick to a TBR this time of year because I KNOW I’ll be in the mood for spookier/thriller books so I can plan a bit better for the types of moods that will strike me!
YAY for completing your Goodreads goal! It will be a miracle if I reach mine, haha! I feel like I’m always scrambling at the end of the year to find comics and smaller books to read :p
I’ve totally been there too! Honestly I am SHOCKED I’ve reached mine already. I think it’s largely due to the fact that I did a bunch of rereads this year and so I was able to read them quickly and not really stress about writing reviews. However, there are definitely some books on my TBR that I still haven’t gotten to that I’d like to before 2018 despite having already reached my goal!
