May TBR (2020)

Hey guys, this is Abi here,

And with the start of a new month comes a new TBR. I had to be creative and really think about what I wanted to read when assembling this TBR, because I only own Under the Dome & A Conjuring of Light left that I haven't read yet.

But here's what I came up with: Enjoy!

1. Under the Dome, by Stephen King

I have approximately 100 pages left of this, and I'm hoping I'll be able to finish it sometime in the next couple of days. I will have to dedicate some time to this, but I want this finished and on to the next read. Aside from that, I'm eager to find out what is going to happen with all these characters, particularly Big Jim and Barbie because a showdown will happen between those two, and it'll be soon. It will probably be explosive, and I doubt everyone will make it out of the dome alive. This is going to be one hell of a finale.

2. A Conjuring of Light (Shades of Magic #3), by V.E. Schwab

The third and final book in the Shades of Magic trilogy, and I have no idea what the heck is going to happen. I do know that I am very excited to see what was going to happen, and what is going to happen when a certain meeting (the anticipation has been building since the start of book 2) takes place. I also know that I am not ready to say goodbye for these characters, but thankfully this is the longest one of the three, so at least I won't be finishing this in 3 days. From what I can tell, A Conjuring of Light is about Kell trying to help the planet, because another London that was previously crumbled, and Kell is trying to stop that from happening. In the midst of all this, Lila has to try and control the magic she discovered in the magical trials. All of these crazy things will be happened in book three, and I can't wait to dive in.

3. Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children #2), by Seanen McGuire

I sped through the first book during my 24 hour readathon last month and I can't wait to read the next one. The audiobooks are 2-3 hours long, and they're quick and snappy, perfect for keeping a Goodreads challenge up whilst tackling a longer book. Down Among the Sticks and Bones takes place before the events of the first book, going into the backstory of two characters that were featured in Every Heart A Doorway (Jack and Jill). I'm curious as for why it's important to experience this place to progress in the story, but I'm looking forward to finding out more about the characters that I was introduced to in book one. I'm very much looking forward to going back to this world.

4. Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1), by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

A few days ago I did a surprise poll on Instagram. With the Shades of Magic trilogy coming to an end, I need a new series to work towards, and my two frontrunners were: Scythe, by Neil Shusterman, and this. Honestly, I had no inkling of how it was going to go, as they're both two highly loved series' in the Booktube community. The Illuminae Files is now my new series that I will be picking up! I'm ashamed to say that this is my first series that was written by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff and I'm looking forward to seeing for myself who everyone loves this duo so much. The Illuminae Files is a study case, and within it's pages is research, medical reports, interviews, and being the ravenclaw that I am, I can't wait to sift through all of them and analyse them to death.   

5. A Girl in Three Parts, by Suzanne Daniel

It's already a few days into May and I have yet to pick up any anticipated releases for April- June. A Girl in Three Parts sounds like a light contemporary about an 11 year old girl, with some serious themes to make it interesting. It's about Allegra, who is torn between who her grandmothers' want her to be, and who she is. Aunt Mathilde is strict, and wants Allegra to concentrate on her studies, whereas Aunt Joy is a free spirit, and wants her to follow her heart and be creative. These aunts do not get along and Allegra is caught in the middle, until one day, the turmoil that caused this division, explodes in the person they all cherish most. This doesn't sound like anything I've read before, and I received it today!

Okay! That's it for today. That is my plan for what I want to read this month, let's see if I can stick to it! (Honestly, who knows?)

Feel free to comment down below what you plan to read this month!

Right, I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you all soon.

Byeeeee!
