My TBR Shelf is Ready to Rock!

As I sit here surrounded by my books, I feel like it's finally time to dive into some of the amazing titles that have been calling my name. My Plain Jane is on top of the list, and I'm hoping she'll live up to the hype that her namesake has received. The audiobook for my lady Jane was so amazing, and now I'm excited to read the actual book. With its unique blend of styles, it's a perfect mix of Leto by Libby Page, Man Called Gouveia by Frederick Bachman, and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. The story follows 86-year-old Rosemary, whose life is changing in unexpected ways. I'm hoping to fall in love with this book, just like I did with the others on my list.

Another book that's been waiting patiently for me is Dear Mrs. Bird by H.E. Pierce. This historical fiction novel takes place in 1940 London and follows Lean, a young woman who decides to become a secret advice columnist during World War II. I've been reading more historical fiction lately, and this one is already generating excitement among readers. With its unique premise, it's definitely going to be an interesting read. As someone who loves historical fiction, I'm looking forward to immersing myself in this story.

Last but not least, there's Firefight Land by Kristen Hanna, which has received glowing reviews from book bloggers like Kristen herself, who writes about up to 20 books a year. I've heard so much about her writing that I just had to give it a try. This novel tells the story of two women, Kate and Tully, who meet in 1974 and become inseparable friends. The book explores their life, friendship, and what truly matters to them. Kristen's writing is known for making readers cry, so I'm both excited and nervous about diving into this emotional journey.

As I prepare to tackle my TBR shelf, I have to admit that I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately. With four or five fantasy books already on my list from last month, I'm looking forward to taking a break and reading something lighter. The booktubeathon at the end of the month is also looming large, so I'll be sure to make time for it. One thing's for sure, though: I'll do my best to tackle all these books and leave no stone unturned.

I'd love to hear from you guys – have you read any of these books? What did you think of them?
