Picking my
top ten books on my spring TBR pile has proved to be a hard task. I wanna read ALL
the books; if only time-turners were a thing. Where is McGonagall when needed?
Anyways, Spring is my most hated season. People will find this outrageous but I
suffer from hay fever and Spring can be a pain in the ass – I’m looking at you pollen,
flowers and whatnot.
Also, if
you haven’t noticed, I’ve decided to read ALL the fairy tales basically. I have
no deep explanation for this. I feel like it. Since I’m gonna be surrounded by Kleenex
once Spring comes, it might as well be good to fantasize about princes,
princesses and fairy godmothers. Only, with a darker twist. We all know how gruesome
the Brothers Grimm were. This year, I believe, is the 150th anniversary
of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
so I guess, a re-read is in order. Oh, and A
Little Princess is one of my favourite childhood movies; I was so in love
with it and I didn’t know it was a children classic (silly me!) until now.
Other than
that, my plan is to finally read Murakami and Atwood. Long overdue, let me tell
you that. And of course, I’m continuing the whole Year of Cosmere read-a-long. Sanderson
everywhere! My favourite genre is fantasy but I read some sci-fi from time to
time and Ancillary Justice by Ann
Leckie has won every single sci-fi award. Must be good, don’t you think?
I’m
cheating. I’m also including the penguin Little Black Classics. They are short
and it would take me no time to fly through them. My idea: reviewing them all but
I was planning on doing a whole post with the eight I own. Would you like
that?
