Wayward Reviews

Hello my lovelies,

The spooky season is now officially over, it was more of a reflective time rather than my normal magical festive time. In regards to reading, I am now going to try and listen to more audiobooks to increase my monthly reading total.

It’s autumn here in the UK, the days are very shorter and the cosy vibes for me are on the up. I am already in my cosiest lounge wear, and taken to picking out my favourite scarves.

This month’s vibe is mood reading – because it can’t get any more cosier than that?!

So let’s get into it.

Here is a reminder on how I am picking my monthly TBR books:

Historically, I have been using prompt cards to help me pick. Yet, this year, I am doing something different.

The first thing, will be to rollover one book that I haven’t read from the previous month. One thing I noticed last year, was that whatever I didn’t read in that month would get lost on the wayside. So this time, I want to rollover a book to help me hold myself account.

Second thing, I will read a book from my Fairyloot Romantacy subscription. I want to be active in staying on top of this, as I believe I will not always want to keep the books after I read them.

Lastly, I will make an conscious effort to pick one book that I really want to read from my shelf, and one from my exploding pile (where I give myself this year to read it or they will be sold or given to charity).

So let’s get into the books I have picked this month:

Rollover Book: The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai

Subscription Book: After the Forest by Kell Woods

Exploding Book: The City of Dusk by Tara Sim

Interest Read: Girls just want to have funds by Camilla Falkenberg, Emma Due Bitz, Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen

This month, the mood is finishing up books that I have started this year. I’ve also gotten the audiobook for After the Forest to help give me momentum – I’m also considering getting an audio version of The City of Dusk too.

So what do you think? Have you read any of these books from this TBR? I would love to hear your thoughts below!

Till next time.
