May TBR

[@lineh.4116]

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series is amazing. I started a year ago and I am currently on book 10. It was a total coincidence that I picked up the first book and I am so happy that I did because it is one of my all-time favorite series.❤️❤️❤️

[@BeautifullyBookishBethany]

Sandhya Menons books are just really fun. Slow Regard is very different but still wonderful!

[@j.n.cahill1086]

I've been getting through most of my planned TBRs lately as well--I've been picking more of the books I'm most excited about, so that helps. Happy reading!

[@alexalovesbooks]

My May TBR is also very ambitious! But I believe in us both being able to read all of the books again this month 😉 Can’t wait to buddy read Escaping from Houdini and Kings of the Wyld this month! But also, I am thrilled you’re giving the Black Dagger Brotherhood series a shot! I just have so much fun reading those books (and I still need to catch up with the latest stuff), and I hope you do too. Completely adult though!

[@polkadotsandpumpkins4328]

I love Star Wars and especially Rogue One so I’m super interested in reading Catalyst. Love the cover too.

[@wordswiths]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm pretty new to booktube and I've been scouring YT to find booktubers who read adult books!

[@RescuesandReads]

Escaping from Houdini ended up being my favorite of the series. I hope you enjoyed it!

[@kyleybremer8324]

Finale is definitely my top priority for this month!! Along with The knife of never letting go!!

[@bekkywashbourne9784]

My top priority for May is Tower of Dawn

[@crushgoil]

The Slow Regard of Silent Things is AMAZING

[@lyuban9764]

Planning to re-read Caraval and Legendary and then dive into Finale!

[@PagesandPens]

I’m on Opposition (book 5 of LUX) and you’re so right. They’re not masterpieces but they’re so fun. I never thought I’d binge them but I’m living for them. Lol

[@StevieWallaceVA]

The Shiver series is what got me to love Maggie Stiefvater's writing. I love the original trilogy but never got around to reading the fourth one that came out much later. I hope you enjoy it!

[@JemimaRose]

the shiver series was one of my faves growing up (-': it's so atmospheric!

[@MerrilyKristin]

I'm really hoping I'll enjoy it!

[@nandarambles2917]

Once you start reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series you can’t stop, it soooo addicting !!! 💜I’m currently re-reading Dark Lover 😂

[@MerrilyKristin]

I'm so excited to start it!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Good luck with your TBR this month!

[@readbymarta2781]

can't wait to hear your thoughts on shiver! i've been thinking about reading it too but i'm scared it will be too classic ya for me

[@LittleXwillow]

Black Dagger Brotherhood Series is SOOO GOOD!!!! but it isn't New Adult. It is adult. My favorite is Lover Awakened (the 3rd book). Please let us know how you like Dark Lover (TOP PRIORITY LOL)

[@kellic22]

I plan on reading As Old As Time by Liz Braswell it’s a twisted tale on Beauty and The Beast and the other twisted tales by her as well.

[@georgiefarr1094]

My May tbr is May Movie Novel Month so I'll be reading books that have been made into movie adaptations. So I'll be reading The Hunger Games trilogy, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Miss Peregrines for Peculiar Children. I love your earrings 💜💜💜

[@MerrilyKristin]

You have such a great TBR planned!!!

[@randomreader]

Jennifer L Armentrout is such a fun author! Her books are perfect for just some light, addicting reads!

[@theworldwhispers]

Finale and Aurora Rising are the two that I'm just... dying to get my hands on this month, ahhh! Same release day, too. The two versions of Finale I have ordered might take a few days to arrive (the Owlcrate one and B&N special edition - although I've seen Owlcrate posting on instagram that some people are getting notices that their special edition boxes have shipped! I haven't gotten that email yet, but I'm checking constantly for it!), so I'll probably end up reading Aurora Rising first. Super excited for another Jay & Amie author team-up series! :D

[@christinahelms1514]

Good luck on your reading this month! You have a lot of great books. The Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward I really enjoyed.

[@stephl6371]

I buddy read Escaping from Houdini with a friend last year and we both hated it, to the point we've both been considering not reading the final book. I really hope you like it, I know that some people really like it, so hopefully it'll be good for you.

[@speaking_bookish]

Omg I love the BDB! I hope you love them too.

[@speaking_bookish]

I just started listening to the LUX series recently too! I’m currently on onyx.. I quite like it.. it’s fun!

[@MerrilyKristin]

I started Onyx this morning on audio! It is really fun!

[@sarahunkefer9224]

Dark Lover & the whole Black Dagger Brotherhood is oooooh so good. I’m actually reading the latest, The Savior.

[@emilybannon1943]

I love the shiver series as well and my top the pucks are hot dog girl and when we collided

[@MerrilyKristin]

Hot Dog Girls sounds really good!

[@emilybannon1943]

Yeah it does and it’s blurbed by Becky Albertalli so it must be awesome.

[@melanieyputo]

My TBR this month is super ambitious too, mainly because I didn't read much last month so those books are joining the ones that I had already decided for May. Right now I'm reading The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan (almost done with it) and I started reading Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie; hope I can finish those soon enough.

[@MerrilyKristin]

I love Peter Pan!

[@melanieyputo]

@@MerrilyKristin I liked the Disney movie when I was young, but never really was one of my favorites for some reason. As for the book I don't know what I think about it yet, since I've only read the first 2 chapters so far. The writing caught me off guard tho, but we shall see.

[@SilencexWillxFall]

I read Girls of Paper and Fire and Silver in the Wood in April and LOVED both of them! Can't wait to hear your thoughts

[@MerrilyKristin]

Ahh that's great to hear!

[@angelaciani2110]

the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R.Ward is a wild ride... jup... pun intended!!! you gonna blush, but it's really fun and tickles a lot of deeper topics... i'm currentley reading Oathbringer part 2 by Brandon Sanderson and adoring it!!! can't wait to read The Wicked King too

[@MerrilyKristin]

Oooh I want to read that Sanderson series when I finish Mistborn!

[@BlackDeathYuuki]

Catalyst is probably my favorite canon SW novel so far (still haven't read all lol). It was really good imo. But if I remember it right Mon Mothma's role wasn't that big.. it's mostly about Jyn Erso's family. I have to reread it tbh but I'm trying to catch up with all the books and comics I haven't read so far in the SW canon. That's why I'm currently reading the Aftermath trilogy.

[@Fellinara]

You will love Catalyst. There is a easter egg in it for Rebels. :) It clarifies the mission in the episode Breaking Ranks.

[@MerrilyKristin]

OMG. I am VERY excited about that! I love the Rebels easter egg in Rogue One!

[@LadyMcCrystal]

I've read 7 of the Black Dagger brotherhood series so far. They are for sure adult adult. I really enjoy this series. I cant wait to hear your thoughts

[@MerrilyKristin]

I can't wait to read them!!

[@Natalia-ig3gc]

I recommend you read Season of Storms before you start Blood of Elves. Season of Storms was the last to be published in USA but chronologically, it takes place before Blood of Elves, possibly even before Sword of Destiny, I can't remember

[@noodlekatz4449]

Elliot books has a video on what order to read them I'm pretty sure

[@crazybooklady2104]

So excited for finale and a few other books by my favorite authors. I would love to buddy read escaping from Houdini with you......if you don't mind.

[@WildeBookGarden]

I don't like werewolves either! The only werewolf book I can think of that I loved is Waer by Meg Caddy. One of my top priority books is Descendant of the Crane by Joan He!

[@noodlekatz4449]

See the only werewolves that I like are Gail Carrigers' they're a different take than from others that I've seen and it's refreshing.

[@gamexpress111]

You should also read for Romanov by Nadine Brandes. It comes out on May 7th and it's a retelling of Anastasia!

[@Aussie_chick85]

Omg you have a bulbasaur pop 😱

[@DarkMistyDay]

The main book I want to finish is The Secret History, and I want to get through what remains to be read of the New Testament and as much in the Old as I can.

[@ReadsReaders]

I am planning on leaving myself open to read whatever this month cuz I'm moving. But I have a secret book (that I'm Vlogging my experience with), and I am wanting to challenge myself to read 5 Mystery Novels a month. I love Mystery stories and I haven't read that many lately so I want to get back to my first love lol

[@sophiehutchins]

Do you know why the Last Hours: Chain of Gold book (by Cassandra Clare) nas been pushed back?

[@inmyreadingera]

I read Girls of Paper and Fire and, while I enjoyed, I definitely didn’t love it as much as many other people seem too :(.

[@raygallagher2194]

Escaping from Houdini, huh, great title.

[@mariakalliokoski2758]

Escaping from Houdini was my favourite in that series so far! Unpopular opinion 😆 It's not as bad as people are saying 😶
