5 On My TBR | Halloween
As I’ve mentioned before, one of my important reading goals of 2023 is shrinking my physical TBR. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what books I still have or subjects I want to read about. So we needed a way to keep track of this. 5 On My TBR is a way of keeping track. This is a meme hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Every week there’s a different prompt for five on my TBR.
This week’s topic is a Halloween Freebie. So I decided to go with any creepy and eerie reads I have on my TBR. There aren’t any that come to mind right away, so let’s see which ones I find on my shelves. Continue reading “5 On My TBR | Halloween”

Tag| The Official Spooky Season Book Tag
I can’t even remember the last time I did a bookish tag, but I can’t let spooky season go by without at least one. I was recently tagged in The Official Spooky Season Book Tag by Books Are 42.
Even though I’m a big scaredy cat, I still wanted to give this one a go. So let’s take a look at this tag!
