Anticipated Fourth Quarter Book Releases

Published on October 11, 2023October 8, 2023 by Celeste15 Comments

October signals that it’s time to share my anticipated fourth quarter book releases. Given that list posts are not my favorite to do, I cram three months’ worth of new releases into one post four times per year. This is the last one of the year and October is stacked! Surprisingly, I didn’t find as many upcoming December releases that caught my interest. Or perhaps I didn’t stumble upon them or they haven’t been uploaded to NetGalley yet. If there’s something you’re really excited for in December (or even November), let me know!

October 2023 TBR List

Published on October 1, 2023October 1, 2023 by Celeste6 Comments

It’s that time again. I’m back with my October 2023 TBR list. I feel like my October reading will be very harried. There are a lot of amazing new releases this month. And while it’s possible I could read all of my October ARCs this month, I forgot about a couple of library holds that I don’t want to push back. Plus I really want to make progress on HOUSE OF EARTH AND BLOOD (finally). And on the side I have SFINCS novellas to read. So, I’ll do my best while giving myself some grace with ARC publication dates. Now, let’s look at what I put on my October 2023 TBR list.

On My Radar: September 2023

Published on September 26, 2023September 24, 2023 by Celeste12 Comments

Looking at this On My Radar list, September apparently had quite an impression on me! There’s always good content to consume on the blogosphere. But I guess I either saw a lot more posts I connected with, or my semi-blogging hiatus gave me more time to peruse. Either way, there’s lots of good stuff for everyone to read, if you haven’t already!

September 2023 TBR List

Published on September 1, 2023August 29, 2023 by Celeste13 Comments

What in the world?! Who said it was time for a September 2023 TBR list?! Not me, I can assure you! I’m not ready to let summer depart. Then again, I tend to get more reading done when the weather is nastier. Win some, lose some.

As usual, I have a couple of ARCs to focus on this month. I’ll prioritize those. The rest is more of a toss up. I know I’ll have at least one library hold arrive, possibly two. I’ll include them just in case they become available. Otherwise it’ll be mood reads or other ARCs after I finish the September ARCs. So, let’s see what’s on my September 2023 TBR list.

July 2023 TBR List

Published on July 6, 2023July 2, 2023 by Celeste10 Comments

It’s time for my July 2023 TBR list! July is a busy month for me because my attention will be elsewhere for a bit. So I’m honestly not sure how many of these I’ll actually finish. But it’s good to have goals (or so I’m told), right? August has a ton of book releases, for which I have four ARCs, I believe. It may not seem like a lot to the bookish community at large, but it is when juggling travel, a full-time job, mundane house chores, and gardening.

That said, my intent is to focus on these August ARCs. But mood reading is good for the soul. And chances are I will stray from my ARCs to get a mood read or two in. So, let’s get on with my July 2023 TBR list!
