I know it’s a little late, but I needed to get my TBR list for this month under control in my own mind and figured I might as well post it.
I may have overcommitted this month. There are just so many exciting things going on.
First of all, it’s February, which means both Black History Month and Valentine’s Day. Not to lump those two in the same category, other than time of year!
For Black History Month, I want to read and/or feature a few books by Black authors. I originally was hoping for one per week, but like I said, I overcommitted. Here’s what I’m hoping to get to this month in this category:
- The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
- The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
- Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers (this was my BOTM pick!)
Given Valentine’s day is next weekend, I feel like I have to check off a few rom-coms this month! The more I think about it, though, the more likely I am to abandon this category. On my rom-com TBR:
- Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren (luckily, this fits in a couple of categories!)
On Monday, I’ll be hosting my first ever stop on a blog tour. The novel is Orca by Mariette Whitcomb, and I am very excited to share my thoughts with you! This was on my February TBR, but luckily I finished it the other night.
I joined a challenge on Instagram for increasing my NetGalley ratio. This isn’t just a personal challenge, I’m actually on a team so I can’t let these people down!! Here’s what’s on my NetGalley shelf (no way I’m getting to all of these):
- Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren
- And Now She’s Gone by Rachel Howzell Hall
- The Photographer by Mary Dixie Carter
- The Lost Village by Camilla Sten
- Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone
- His Hidden Wife by Wendy Clarke
- The Disappearing Act by Catherine Steadman

I have ARCs up the wazoo (both ebook and physical) that come out this month, and I always try my best to get my reviews posted by the pub date. I posted a more in-depth list of February releases here, but here’s what I have left to finish before their pub dates:
- The Downstairs Neighbor by Helen Cooper
- Not My Ruckus by Chad Musick
- Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren (this technically releases in March, but it’s on 3/2 so I basically need to finish it this month)
I also agreed to do a buddy read of Anxious People with a friend of mine next week. Hopefully I can push that back a bit!
