May TBR | Choosing Books to Avoid a Reading Slump

I'm getting desperate so for my May TBR I've combined all the things in a last-ditch TBR game to try and avoid a reading slump. I have one month left with all my books and then it's bye bye for now! Watch and see if my plan for May reading and books even makes sense! #booktube #tbrgame

    I am trying to prevent a reading slump in May by not selecting a big TBR. I enjoyed the woman in white quite a bit. Nice stack!

    It's been a weird spring for sure. I think I would have been slumping no matter what I did! It seems to be over now, so yay!

    Wilkie Collins has become one of my favorite classic authors! The Woman in White is great! I liked the Moonstone even more! Happy May Reading!

    I have really enjoyed everything I've read by him this year. He's definitely trying to knock a few authors off their pedastal. I'm enjoying The Woman in White but, like you, I think I might like the Moonstone better. I'm definitely going to have to tier rank them at years end. I highly recommend No Name if you haven't read that one of his.

    April has been rough for me, too. I've read some really good books but I've DNFd even more, which is so frustrating. I hope this game heads off the slump for you!

    Yes, that sounds like my April as well. For some reason I just couldn't get into anything I picked up.

    Yup! I think it would have happened no matter what as I was just super distracted by moving. Things are mostly worked out now, so May should be better.

    I love the "Three Men in a Boat" serie!!! So funny!!! I have so many books on my May TBR! I love readathons too much 😅 I have 25 books and even if some are short I don't think that I can read all of them! So it's more a May/June TBR 😊

    My head is spinning I don’t get how the game works, I like simple pulling from a jar but maybe this is just another indicator of my aging brain 😢. I really just want to hear your thoughts on the books you read and are looking forward to reading and upcoming releases

    No worries. You don't need to get the game. It'll all make sense eventually.

    I think you should nix the games, not post TBR videos or maybe which buddy reads you'll be doing, then give us a weekly wrap up of where your mood takes you. It hurts me to see mood readers trying to fit themselves into a TBR.😅❤

    That would do it for many! I will say, Shahrazad needs to switch stories for sure.
