I wanted to stick at TBR's because I just find it a nice way to give you an idea of what sort of reading mood I'm in as well as what reviews are to be expected.
Anyway, enough beating around the bush, let's talk books.

January:
J.K. Rowling

I don't know what it is that made me do it but, New Years Day I got the audiobook up on Audible and started to reread. I began rereading these last year and only got up to Chamber of Secrets.
I wanted the minimal contact we get with Bill Weasley. And I got that. And then went on a Domhnall Gleeson {plays Bill Weasley in Deathly Hallows) rampage and rewatched all my favourite Gleeson films. Help me. Merlin's Beard!
And yes, by the time this post goes up I would have already finished this one.
Pantomime (Micah Grey #1)
Laura Lam
I got sent this for review from UKTor. That was in November. If you couldn't tell there will be a theme of books that I've let myself get behind on because, I have decided to focus on a degree and binging tv shows.
This book has been compared to The Night Circus but, with what I understand as LGBTQ+ representation. I am intrigued and cannot wait to review this one for you.
A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1)
V.E. Schwab
You know that book you've had on your shelf for ages and have every intention of reading but, you just won't. Not because you aren't excited for it but because you know just how much you will love it.
Every book I have read by V in the past I have loved. I love the themes she explores, the characters she writes and I also am a bit in love with her. (Her tweets are the most relatable 140 characters ever!!)
All I know is: Kell is a traveller. One of the last who can jump through parallel Londons. Red, White and Grey. Black London is non-existent?
That is all I need to know and all I want to know. This is the month I take the plunge back into another of V's worlds. It's been too long.
February:
A Gathering of Shadows (Shades of Magic #2)
V,E, Schwab
Yup, may as well binge the entire series. This is the continuation to book one. And with the final book in the series coming out towards the end of the month I may as well not stop there.
I don't know anything about this one due to trying to keep spoilers down to a minimum.
I will be trying to write a non-spoiler review either way.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter #5)
J.K. Rowling
Seeing as it is the 10th Anniversary of the publiction of Deathly Hallows I am going to try and read a book a month. I will probably stop here and read HBP and DH in June and July unless I get that weird desperate desire like I did at the start of the year.
If I remember correctly this was my third favourite book and movie, so it would just be interesting to see how it compares as my views have changed since I last reread this.
Champion (Legend #3)
Marie Lu
I have been saying on this blog I have wanted to finish this trilogy for the longest of times. Since last summer?
I'm not at the point where if I don't read this soon I may need to reread the first two book in order to understand the plot of this one. I'm not at the point, yet.
I won't rehash what this trilogy is about. It's an older series that surfaced back in 2012 and the great renaissance of dystopian YA.
I AM GOING TO FINISH THIS SERIES. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!
March:
A Conjuring of Light (Shades of Magic #3)
V.E. Schwab
Alas, here we have it. The final book in the Shades of Magic trilogy.
This ones doesn't come out until the end of Feb so, it won't get read until the start of March I don't think.
Again, don't want to know anything on what happens because spoilers for the other books. Just know how excited I am and how my heart is going to break. It always shatters after I finish a book by V.
Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer #1)
Laini Taylor
As you will see March will be the month where I am scrambling to squeeze in all the exciting new releases that I we have coming out.
Strange the Dreamer is one of my most anticipated books that is being released in this first half of the year. Honestly, Laini Taylor is one of my favourite writers for beautiful prose.
I still have no idea what this book is about but, I don't care. I am being sold just by the fact the Laini's name is printed on the cover. I am terrible.
The Song Rising (The Bone Season #3)
Samantha Shannon
Find on Goodreads
It's been two years since I finished reading The Bone Season and it's sequel. So good that I binged them over the space of a week. And, yes, I regret every moment.
Why?
Because, I've been cruelly clinging onto the ending of book two ever since. The fact that I remember the ending so vibrantly this far along and a hundred books read in between really says a lot.
I just hope I'm not left disappointed. Really. That would be soul crushing.
And there you will have it. My TBR for the next three months. Kept to a reasonable amount and not too overly ambitious. However, I am hoping to try squeeze in some more reading, as I am really trying this year to stop relying on TV and movies. Just need to keep pushing to get those few extra pages read.
