top ten books on my spring ’25 tbr list
posted by soe 1:51 am

So far, I have only read one of the books on my winter TBR list, despite the fact that I finished my 14th book of the year yesterday. I do not think I can read the other nine before spring arrives on Thursday, but I may sneak one more in. (I pulled several of them out so they’re in front of me to aid in that process.)

But, that said, I’m still going to make a list for spring that maybe I’ll ignore and maybe I’ll get to. But either way, what is a TBR list for but to strive to get to everything we want to read someday? Who’s to say it won’t be the coming season?

Here are ten of the books I hope to read before summer’s arrival, some of which I own and some of which will be library borrows:

  1. Linda Holmes’ Back After This
  2. The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong
  3. Grace Lin’s The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon
  4. Jasper Fforde’s Shades of Grey
  5. A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal
  6. The Stargazers by Harriet Evans
  7. Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell
  8. Rainbow Rowell’s Slow Dance
  9. Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto
  10. Mastering the Art of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge

What’s on your seasonal reading plan for the next few months? Lighter, fluffier fare to fit into the smaller moments between being out and about? Or now that the weather is getting warmer, are you feeling like you can tackle some weightier tomes?

You can see what else folks have queued up at That Artsy Reader Girl.

I hope you enjoy Mastering the Art of French Murder as much as I did. I hope you enjoy reading all of these in the coming months.

I’m really curious for the new Ocean Vuong as well.

I have the Vera Wong book out from the library right now. I’m hoping to get to it soon. I hope we both love it!

Happy TTT!

I did just as awfully on my winter TBR, I think I read two out of the ten I had listed. You are so right about TBRs, my TBR is the same, it’s a list of books I hope to read someday. I’ve only read A Tempest of Tea from this list, though I didn’t like it as much as Hafsah Faisal’s Sands of Arawiya duology. I hope you’ll love all these books when you get to them 🙂

Thanks for visiting my blog earlier!
