[Top Ten Tuesday] Spring TBR 2020

Photo Credit

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week we are discussing the books we are planning to read this spring! I can't believe spring is almost here, but honestly I am so ready because Maine's winters are rough and I am absolutely over it. Granted, I hate the hot weather so really I am just never happy 😂 but seriously, I am excited for the spring.  However, I don't think I'll have ten books on this list. There's a great chance I'll read ten books, but I don't want to slap books on this list just to hit the ten book mark. So these are the books I'm planning on picking up, but I'll probably have others I'll be inspired to read that I don't even know about yet.

Let's jump into my TBR!

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell 

Susanna Clarke

Goodreads

This book has been on my TBR lists for far too long. I always intended to read it and then I would push it aside because I was intimidated by the size. However, the month of March the new Animal Crossing: New Horizons game will be coming out, and I know I am going to feel guilty that it's going to take up a lot of my reading time. So, I am going to allow myself to just focus on reading this one in moments where I'm coming up for air from playing AC:NH! That way, although I will have read only one book, I will still feel proud that I finally accomplished the goal of reading this beast of a book. I'm pretty excited!

The Hobbit

J.R.R. Tolkien

Goodreads

I'm finally going to try out this series! I've watched the movies, but I have never read the books so I am excited to finally give them a try! I'd love to read the entire series before the summer is over, but we'll see how this one goes first. I am genuinely so pumped and I hope I love it. 

Harrow the Ninth

Tamsyn Muir

Goodreads 

I know I won't shut up about Gideon the Ninth. It was the last book I read in 2019 and it's still on my mind basically everyday. I need to buy a copy, re-read it (maybe, if I have the patience not to jump to Harrow), and then read Harrow the Ninth. I am so incredibly excited to continue the series and have my heart shattered some more. 

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman

Goodreads

I loved the TV Show, so I am ready to love the book too! You'll probably see some other Gaiman books on this list and just in general on my blog because I want to read more of his books. Maybe after I'll read Pratchett's books because this will be the first book I've read of his! Overall, very excited. 

LumberJanes

Noelle Stevenson | Grace Ellis | Shannon Watters | Brook A. Allen 

Goodreads

I've read a handful of these volumes but that was years ago. I want to re-read them to get a nice refresher so I can continue the series! I remember absolutely loving them, so I am really pumped. They'll be a good thing to pick up if I need a small break from Jonathan Strange or any of the other fantasy books on this list. 

 Stardust

Neil Gaiman

Goodreads

I've never read this one or watched the movie, so I have little idea of what to expect outside of the synopsis, but I know it's so well loved. I'm hoping I love this one as much as everyone else! It sounds stunning and like it's going to make me cry. I'm pumped. 

 

Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn

Amanda Conner | Jimmy Palmiotti

Goodreads 

My husband got this one for me for Valentine's Day and I am really excited to read it! I absolutely loved the movie, so I am pretty excited to get more Harley content.  

Smoke & Mirrors: Short Fictions & Illusions 

Neil Gaiman

Goodreads 

I've had this book on my shelf for years, and I need to just read it! I've wanted to read it for a while but I keep pushing it off because short stories can be hit or miss for me. However, it's Gaiman, so I assume I'll love it! It's a good one to maybe read a story in between other books since as I make this list I realize I've got so many fantasy books. 

Thanks for reading!
