This is the first TBR of this year 2021. There are nine books for this month: eight based on my TBR game (as I struggled to finish my TBR of December) and one ARC. If you want to know more about my TBR, click here.
Book 1
God: Monster card becoming Athena
Prompt: the Monster card was “go to Athena” so it became “a book with a wind element.”
Pick: Blackbird 1: The Great Beast by Sam Humphries and Jen Bartel (publisher: Image Comics)
Why: Just the name and as I was looking over I found a lot of wind or windlike elements.
Book 2
God: Hades
Prompt: a book sets in another world
Pick: Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo (publisher: Orion Children’s Books)
Why: first, it’s the last book of the trilogy, and then everything is happening in Ravka.
Book 3
God: Poseidon
Prompt: a book sets on sea or on the seashore
Pick: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (publisher: Tor Books)
Why: I heard a ton of good things from this book, and I love the cover.
Book 4
God: Olympus becoming Zeus
Prompt: randomise the god(desses) became a book from an author you have never read
Pick: There’s no Such a Thing as an Easy Job by Kikuko Tsumura (publisher: Bloomsbury)
Why: I never read a book from this author, no more explanations 🙂
Book 5
God: Poseidon
Prompt: an adventure
Pick: Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan (Publisher: Puffin)
Why: I want to re-read all the book, so I just need to read it, and I found it extremely funny to choose Percy Jackson for Poseidon
Book 6
God: Half-god
Prompt: draw a book
Pick: The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary (publisher: Quercus)
Why: I had this book as a gift from my dad for my birthday, and I never read it as people have mixed feeling toward it. Now I will make my own thoughts about it.
Book 7
God: Hades
Prompt: a fantasy
Pick: The Archive of the Forgotten by A.J. Hackwith (publisher: Ace)
Why: I wanted to read it last month, but I didn’t receive it before the half of December, so now I am reading it.
Book 8
God: Half-god
Prompt: draw a book
Pick: The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett (publisher: Riverhead Books)
Why: I started this book in October and I struggled a lot. I wanted to wait before giving another chance but fate tell me to read it in January and to not wait more.
I am adding to these books one, a digital ARC from NetGalley, that I have for a long time but I never read it. The release date is the 9th of February, so I have time to read it before it’s release.
Book 9
The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles (publisher: Two Roads)
There are eight books, including one I am not so happy to read, but the prompts help me continue into the series I started, and I want to finish. I am glad of this list and cannot wait to start reading it. The number of pages for this month is 3,106.
Don’t hesitate to share the books that you want to read this month or give your thoughts about these books if you have already read them.
Liz.
