Book Tour| Woods of Silver and Light – Victoria McCombs
As a big fan of retellings when I heard about Woods of Silver and Light I was really curious and had to sign up for the tour hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours. I’ve never read Robin Hood, but I’ve seen a few movies and it’s definitely an interesting story. Woods of Silver and Light is now out in the world, so let’s take a look at what it’s all about.

Down the TBR Hole #47
Okay, it’s been two weeks since my last Down the TBR Hole and the total of books on my want to read shelf on Goodreads has increased with 13 books since last time. Even though I’ve actually switched a couple of these books to currently reading. So let’s just say it’s good I’m doing this post again.
Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. It looked like a fun and productive way to finally make a dent in that Goodreads TBR. I went through my want-to-read shelf a little while ago but I think I was still to kind on a lot of books. Let’s see what I’ll make of it this time around. I decided to go with 10 books at a time so lets get started!
Buddy Review | Letters to the Lost – Brigid Kemmerer
Both of us are trying to make a dent in the amount of unread backlist books on our shelves. A fun way to do this is planning a lot of buddy reads and that’s what we decided to do with Letters to the Lost. This is a book both of us have had for quite some time and we heard it was pretty emotional. We finally read this book and want to talk about our thoughts. Keep on reading to find out more!

Bookish Item| Netgalley Backlist Part 5
As you all know my Netgalley ratio is one of my bookish goals this year (and has been the past few years). It’s not one I’ve been good at, so I really need to concentrate on this one. I’ve written about my backlist in four other posts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4). It’s been almost a year since I wrote a post like this and it shows, haha. Today is my Netgalley Backlist Part 5. Let’s take a look!
Tag | The Anti-TBR tag
We talk so much about books we love and books we want to read. But sometimes you just want to talk about the books you don’t want to read, the ones you have no interest in. That’s why Nicole from Nicole & Her Books created the Anti-TBR tag. And today I’m doing this tag. Let’s take a look at those questions! Continue reading “Tag | The Anti-TBR tag”
Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Cost of Knowing – Brittney Morris
We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Continue reading “Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Cost of Knowing – Brittney Morris”
Book Tour| Hot British Boyfriend – Kristy Boyce
If you’ve been following the blog for a while now, you’ll know that I’m a big contemporary fan. As soon as I heard about Hot British Boyfriend it was added to my want to read list on Goodreads. So it was a lot of fun to when TBR and Beyond Tours got to host a book tour for this book. Today I want to talk about my top 5 reasons to read this book and share my favorite quotes. Keep on reading to find out more!
A big thanks to the publisher for providing me with an e-arc to read and review.

TTT #171| 2021 Contemporaries I Really Want to Read
We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is a Valentine’s Day/Love Freebie. The first thing that comes to mind for me is the genre contemporary. It’s a favorite of mine and they often have some type of love story! So let’s talk about 2021 contemporaries I really want to read (even though there are definitely more than ten…).
