July 2018 TBR

Somehow we have now officially started with the second half of 2018. When did that happen?! Time is seriously going way too fast… June was a really good month bookish wise and I managed to read more than I thought I would. And somehow I actually read all of the books on my June TBR as well. Yes, you read that right: I actually managed to squeeze in all ten of the titles below in between other books last month. Woohoo!

I managed to make a good dent into my ARC TBR, so I’m happy to say I’ll be able to read more of my backlist books this month. Yay for reading my own books again! I have a few ARCs pending, and knowing myself, I know more will pop up, but I’m hoping to also be able to read a few of the other titles on here. And I’m finally picking up my first Dutch read of the year! Or at least that’s the plan haha.

June 2018 TBR

Somehow it’s June already and we are already almost halfway through 2018. When did that happen?! It’s time to check on how I did on my April-May TBR list, and spoiler: I totally failed to stick to it. Oh yes, my last TBR was pretty hopeless as I only read a meager third of the books I was supposed to read (and those were all pending ARCs I had to read before my trip). I guess it does show I gave myself the gift of reading my own books during my hiatus haha. I still want to read the other titles on the list as well though, and you’ll see quite a few on this month’s TBR.

While it was great being able to pick up my own titles again, it does mean I’m now behind with my pending ARCs… And I have a ton that are due in June. Oops? So the TBR below includes a lot of ARCs, although I have a few other titles thrown in as well. And I might just read one or two of my new physical titles instead of the ones mentioned below, but we’ll see how things go this month. 😉

April-May 2018 TBR

Wait, it’s April already? And the season has changed? Where on earth did the first three months of 2018 go?? March was a great reading month and I managed to read almost every book on my March TBR, which is a first. The only reason I didn’t pick up The Dream Thieves is because I don’t have time for the other sequels right now and prefer to read them all together. Hopefully when I’m back from my trip!

 Since I will be going on a hiatus starting April 23rd and won’t be back until June, I’ve decided to make a TBR for the next two months instead. I’m not sure how much time I’ll be having during our travels in Europe, but we’ll see how things go I guess. The TBR below is a mix of pending ARCs I’m going to try and get to before our trip and titles I’ve been wanting to read for a while. Looking forward to these!

Upcoming ARC Reads

As I revealed last week, we will be going on a Eurotrip starting April 24th and It’s All About Books will be going on an Eurotrip hiatus from April 23rd to June 1st. I will be trying to get rid of most of my ARC backlog before the trip, and won’t be accepting new ones (except for a few titles that were already on my radar) for the time being. I already have a similar list on my Excel spreadsheet, but I wanted to break down the pending ARCs on my pile by month for easy viewing. It’s also a great opportunity to show what will be coming up on my blog before my break!

Here we go… The pending NG ARCs have been listed by publish month and the other pending ARCs are listed at the very end.

March 2018 TBR

I can’t believe we’re already starting the third month of 2018! Time is flying by way too fast… And it’s already time to decide what I will be reading during my birthday month. My February TBR was a moderate success with 6 out of 10 books read… Not bad considering the fact I had a LOT of unplanned ARCs popping up last month, making it impossible to get to all of the titles in time. The four pending titles will go straight to my March TBR though! Although I’m not sure if I will have time to binge read the Raven Cycle books this month with all those pending ARCs. xD

>>> Find a complete list of the books of books owned and waiting to be read here and my full TBR list at Goodreads here <<<

Six of the titles below are ARCs that either I was ment to have read by now (sorry!) or are NG titles that are coming up soon. One of them is even my very first blog tour title!  The other titles are partly series I want to finally finish, but also a TBR jar pick and a book I have been wanting to pick up ever since it was published (Salt To The Sea). Looking forward to these!

February 2018 TBR

I can’t believe we’re already in the second month of 2018! Time is flying by way too fast… And it’s already time for my second monthly TBR post this year. Last month’s TBR was a moderate success with 6 out of 10 books read… Not bad considering I’ve decided to pospone The Bear And The Nightingale until book three is out and with Nicki @ Secret Library we are planning to do a Lilac Girls buddy read this month so I was saving this title for that. The other two go straight to my February TBR! Especially since I’m hoping to binge read the Raven Cycle books depending on how I like the sequels.

>>> Find a complete list of the books of books owned and waiting to be read here and my full TBR list at Goodreads here <<<

Four of the titles below are ARCs that either I was ment to have read ages ago (sorry!) or are NG titles that are coming up soon. The other titles are mostly series I want to finally finish, but also an upcoming buddy read and a thriller I have been meaning to read for ages. Looking forward to these!

January 2018 TBR

It’s been three months since I last wrote one of these posts… Oops? The slump monster really had me in its claws, because I always love my monthly TBR posts even if I don’t always read the books I put on there straight away. My last Monthly TBR last year wasn’t that big of a success with only 5 out of 10 titles read even after three! months, but I guess that’s the slump talking right there. I still want to read the other five, but I’m going to take it slow with them and see if a fresh TBR will help me recover completely. 😉

Four of the titles below are actually ARCs (my very last pending Netgalley ARCs!!), and the other titles belong to a mix of genres and are all books I’ve been meaning to pick up for ages. I can’t wait to finally do so!
