Currently Reading/What’s Next

In April I’m testing out a new TBR approach – I’m setting weekly TBR’s rat

1. When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore

This is the April read for the Dragons and Tea Book Club hosted by the amazing MelToTheAny and A Court of Crowns and Quills. This a YA magical realism about a young girl who appears out of a water tower. Magical realism isn’t usually my genre, but I really liked Blanca & Roja by McLemore so I’m excited to read this.

2. The Foxe & the Hound by R.S. Grey

I started this on audiobook yesterday and it’s already the cheesy, rom com of my dreams. This book is a goofy, sweet enemies to lovers romance following a woman with a large puppy she can’t handle and the man that dog tramples – who also turns out to be the new guy in town… and her vet.

3. The Murder on the Links (Hercule Poirot #2) by Agatha Christie

This is my next read for the Magical Readathon and covers the History of Magic prompt – a book published over 10 yeas ago. I’m excited to finally continue on with the Hercule Poirot series.

4. Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

I have an e-arc of this from Netgalley and desperately want to get to it this week! This is being released on May 14th and I’ve heard AMAZING things about this book. This is a new adult romance between the presidents son and the prince of Wales. I’m so damn hyped for this book!
