Wyrd and Wonder: Dragon’s Pass

For Wyrd and Wonder my first post started at Mount TBR. Up next is my journey to Dragon’s Pass. I decided to keep my journey in the mountains for a little while because it’s nice and quiet. Dragons can be quiet when they want to and I intend to keep the peace. There will be no quests on my part save to share with you books I enjoyed that have dragons.

I do tend to mood read, which is why I try to be more selective with my ARC requests these days. I’m also trying to make a dent in my physical book backlog. Anyway, here’s my May 2024 TBR list.
