So far, I have only read one of the books on my winter TBR list<\/a>, despite the fact that I finished my 14th book of the year yesterday. I do not think I can read the other nine before spring arrives on Thursday, but I may sneak one more in. (I pulled several of them out so they’re in front of me to aid in that process.)<\/p>\n

But, that said, I’m still going to make a list for spring that maybe I’ll ignore and maybe I’ll get to. But either way, what is a TBR list for but to strive to get to everything we want to read someday? Who’s to say it won’t be the coming season?<\/p>\n

Here are ten of the books I hope to read before summer’s arrival, some of which I own and some of which will be library borrows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Linda Holmes’ Back After This<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. The Emperor of Gladness<\/em> by Ocean Vuong<\/li>\n
  3. Grace Lin’s The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Jasper Fforde’s Shades of Grey<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. A Tempest of Tea<\/em> by Hafsah Faizal<\/li>\n
  6. The Stargazers<\/em> by Harriet Evans<\/li>\n
  7. Impossible Creatures<\/em> by Katherine Rundell<\/li>\n
  8. Rainbow Rowell’s Slow Dance<\/em><\/li>\n
  9. Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers<\/em> by Jesse Q. Sutanto<\/li>\n
  10. Mastering the Art of French Murder <\/em>by Colleen Cambridge<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What’s on your seasonal reading plan for the next few months? Lighter, fluffier fare to fit into the smaller moments between being out and about? Or now that the weather is getting warmer, are you feeling like you can tackle some weightier tomes?<\/p>\n
