I’m happy you’re participating in Revive this month and hope you enjoy Dear Henry, Love Edith. 😊
I just finished the book about ten minutes ago and... I don't even know where to start. This book sent me on a rollercoaster. I think I have emotional whiplash now 😆
Good luck with your TBR method! I hope it works well. I mostly just choose things chaotically and see what happens 😂
I feel like that's what I've been doing for years 😆 but it's no longer working, so I'm hoping this does.
I have 10 prompts I use per month and I match all the books I read to a prompt as I read during the month. So it's a mix of a TBR and mood reading. I restart the list at the beginning of each month. My monthly prompts are:
1- Next book in the big fantasy series i'm reading at the moment
2- mystery/thriller
3- romance
4- dresden files book
5- Sebastian St Cyr book
6- re-read
7- new release
8- from my shelfs
9- from the library
10-finish or continue a series
That sounds like a really good idea! If I read more books in a month, I could see trying something like this, but I would be overwhelmed by trying to get to ten books every month 😅
Oh, if you like Black Powder War you might like Levithan- its a world war one fantasy where the allies and axis are Darwinists and Clankers- basicly, genetically engineered animals (whale air ships) vs mechanical things. It's slightly YA, as the characters are 16-18 or so
I've heard of Leviathan (and probably seen the cover), but I didn't know what it was about. I will have to check that one out. Thanks!
@@Coffee_and_a_Book Welcome! Hope you like it if you pick it up :)
Leviathan looks really good, I added it to my own TBR. Thank you!
@@gasquidxeno478 You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
@gasquidxeno478 I mean, it looks like WWI steampunk, so of course we have to check it out!
I like your method! I was a mood reader then i changed into a big tbr maker person because i love lists, but then i started missing just picking up a book because i wanted to.... but your lists with categories is similar to what mood within the Sanderson category or the French novel category do you want to read next. You can even change French novel to translated novels if you find you've read all of French that you want to or want to not go with just 1 language.
That's my hope with this list, that I can take a category out if I lose interest or alter it if I need to, but that it will feel a bit more like mood reading even though I still get to plan it out 😊
Napoleonic wars and dragons, now that sounds interesting.
It is quite an interesting read. I also enjoy how the other books (past the first one) send the main characters to different countries so we get to see how different cultures in this world view their dragons and how they treat them.
I’m doing both sides on the Doyle/ Montgomery challenge. So far it has worked- hopefully it will continue!
I hope it does for you too! Though I'm liking April, July, and October because I'm only reading one book, since there's only one prompt.
I'm also doing both sides of the Read Your Bookshelf Challenge 😂 I'm not sure if it's because I'm an overachiever or couldn't decide which side to do.
Agreed! That and FOMO (I don't want to miss out on any of the prompts 😅)
I've made decent progress on my tbr for May already. I need to finish A Girl of the Limberlost and read Drake Hall (second book in the Secrets of Ormdale series) and Verbania Treasure (which is also a sequel).
I've heard of Drake Hall but not the other two. I'll have to check those out!
@@Coffee_and_a_Book the Limberlost swamp and house of Gene Stratton-Porter (the author of the book) are about 2 hours from where I live. I took my kids there on a field trip earlier this month.
@@ashleamarshall9370 Oh wow, I bet that was interesting to see!
I've been going down the Doyle path but I've done both paths accidentally the whole year so far🤭
I'm looking forward to all the books this month. Many of them are rereads, so I know I love them. Of the ones I haven't read before, I am most excited for Thyra Ferre' Bjorn's The Home has a Heart.
Looking forward to your thoughts on the BS books.
What do you think is next on your Arthurian journey?
I just looked up The Home Has a Heart, and that does sound interesting! Especially since she originally lived in Sweden.
For Arthurian Legend, I'm probably going to finish up The Lost Queen trilogy first while it's fresher in my mind, and then probably finish the Grail Quest trilogy by Laura Anne Gilman, which is another middle grade but following kids who live in King Arthur's court.
