Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I’ve been a little uninspired lately when it comes to finding topics to chat about, so I thought that, instead, I’d come back with a small list of books.
We all love book lists, don’t we? As bloggers, we also love adding books almost compulsively to our TBRs, regretting everything afterwards, like I kind of am right this very second. Oops.
I will admit it, lately, as I looked at my to-read list on goodreads: I’ve been adding a whole lot of new releases and books that haven’t been released, don’t even have a cover just yet. I guess it’s a side-effect of book blogging and seeing book deals being announced and already being excited about them all. There are just too many books okay. I tried to do a little mix of new, unreleases and older releases, though.
? Related blog post: Are we too into new releases?
So here goes! You can click on the covers to go to goodreads, if you want to make your TBR grow!
? Books I recently added to the endless TBR
Outrun the Moon, Stacey Lee
Why I added it to my TBR ? I recently added everything Stacey Lee wrote, writes and will write on my TBR, because… well, I have a feeling I could really love everything she writes and some bloggers I trust have loved her work SO much. Outrun the Moon is one of the latest additions, and even if I’m not too into historical fiction, usually, this one sounds really good?!
Only A Breath Apart, Katy McGarry
Why I added it to my TBR ?I haven’t read anything by this author, despite being well-known for all of her contemporary books, I think it’s about time that I do. This one sounds particularily good and heartbreaking all at once and I’m excited to read it!
The Weight of Our Sky, Hanna Alkaf
Why I added it to my TBR ? I have heard SO many great things about this book and, despite being a little bit outside of my comfort zone (historical fiction), I’m definitely interested in reading about this part of Malaysia’s history and all of my bloggers’ friends adored this, so… I can’t wait.
As We Go Forth, Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegmund-Broka
Why I added it to my TBR ?You all know by now my love for Always, Never Yours and these two writers… I screamed and added their latest release to my TBR as soon as I heard about it. This only releases in 2020, but already I AM SO HYPED, because it’s a contemporary romance about high school seniors and the future and SO HERE FOR IT OKAY.
Echo North, Joanna Ruth Meyer
Why I added it to my TBR ? I added this book to my TBR because my friend Kat recommended it and I trust her 300%. This sounds like such a magical, atmospheric read and I can’t help but be curious about it. I hope it won’t disappoint!
A Little Something Different, Sandy Hall
Why I want to read it ? This sounds like an adorable book overall, reading about a romance from other people’s perspective and I don’t know, it speaks somehow to my contemporary-marshmallow heart okay.
If You Come Softly, Jacqueline Woodson
Why I want to read it ? This book was recommended to me by the lovely Laura and… well, it sounds like a beautiful, heartbreaking love story and it will break my heart into a thousand, million pieces and why am I always here for these kind of books?!!
Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune, Roselle Lim
Why I want to read it ? This book has made some noise over on twitter and this sounds like such an adorable contemporary book, promises to be filled with food and unexpected friendships and this sounds really, really,really good.
The Places I’ve Cried In Public, Holly Bourne
Why I want to read it ?I’m making it my bookish mission to read everything Holly Bourne writes, even if it will take me some time, because endless TBR problems and all. Holly Bourne’s upcoming book sounds just as amazing as her previous ones… even if we don’t know much, somehow, I’m 200% here for it already.
All The Lonely People, David Owen
Why I want to read it ? I’m all for a good book talking about social media, online culture and more and All The Lonely People sounds FASCINATING, talking about who you are online, offline and the two of them connecting.
Did you read any of these books? Any book you’d recommend to read?
What are some books you recently added to your TBR? Let us know in comments!
I read The Weight of our Sky earlier this month it was brilliant!
Ahhh yay, I’m so glad you liked it! I can’t wait to read it 😀
Thank you!! <3
Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune got added for me too. I thought the Sandy Hall book was really cute.
This book sounds so good, I can’t wait to read it! 🙂
Oh, I’m glad you read and enjoyed Sandy Hall’s book! I haven’t heard too much about it, but it sounds lovely 🙂
Thank you so much, Grace! 😀
This looks like such a great TBR, Marie!! I hope you love the Weight of Our Sky, it’s so good ahh! Since I’m Malaysian it meant a whole lot seeing unapologetic Malaysian rep on page ? And I CANNOT wait for As We Go Forth, like I want to SCREAM because it sounds so good and I need it now sksksksk. Anyways, happy reading, love! ❤
Ahhh thank you! I can’t wait to read it partly because of you, I’m so excited about it 🙂 a little nervous, too, since it’s a bit out of my comfort zone, but still!
AND YES AHHH I NEED THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW, it sounds amazing. I’m so here for everything they write haha <3
Thank you so much! <3 <3
Your TBR might hate you but at least you’ve some rlly cool books lines up! I’ve also been thinking about reading Echo North but I can’t decide if it’s something I’d like 😛
Ohh, well maybe some reviews or/and thoughts from fellow bloggers and friends might help you decide? I wish I could help you more with it, really, when I end up adding a book to the TBR, it’s because I get this gut feeling that I want to read it haha 🙂
Thank you so much for your comment <3
These books all sound amazing,definitely adding them to my never ending to be read pile…as of now i’ve not read any book thanks to school work
Yay happy to hear it! I hope you’ll get to read them soon <3
We can just sob over our TBRs together, shall we? So many wonderful books to read!!
YES WE SHALL haha, too many books to read! 😀
I really want to read Echo North too, I’ve been hearing great things about it! I enjoyed A Little Something Different; I think it’s a really cute story but I can see why it might not work for some.
Great post, Marie 🙂
I’m glad you liked A Little Something Different, it sound like a lovely book! 🙂
Thank you so, so much for your comment! <3
I haven’t read any of these Marie but I am tempted to try some book by Holly Bourne too! I would recommend one that I haven’t read yet but is already on my shelves : Rayne and Delilah’s Midnite Matinee by Jeff Zentner.
Ohhh you should! I only read two Holly Bourne books so far (Am I Normal Yet and It only happens in the movies) and I loved both SO much 🙂
Ahh, I can’t wait to read that one either 😀
Happy reading, Sophie! <3
I want to get to Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune too, I love stories in which food/cooking have an important role.
And I don’t care much for realistic historical fiction either but Outrun the Moon was so good! I read it in 2016 and I still remember everything about it vividly, especially the main character (I loved her so much.) I hope you end up liking it too!
I love these kind of stories, too, give me ALL the food haha. I hope it will be as amazing as it seems 😀
Oh wow it’s amazing that you remember so much about it, despite having read it so long ago, I admire that so much. I can’t wait to read it now 😀
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! <3
Don’t worry I haven’t added any books recently and my TBR is still weeping.
Ahahah all of our TBRs are weeping, aren’t they hahaha 🙂
thank you for your comment! 🙂
I’ve heard so much about Outrun The Moon lately! I hope you like it and I’ll have to check it out!
I hope you’ll check it out and will enjoy it, too! 😀 Thank you so much! <3
Outrun the Moon was a fantastic read… I hope you get to it and that you enjoy it! 🙂
Ahh I’m so happy to hear you liked it, I can’t wait to read it 😀
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! <3
You’re very welcome! Again, I hope you enjoy it! ☺️
The cover for Outrun the Moon is stunning and I may or may not want to read it for that reason alone haha
I KNOW RIGHT? It’s so pretty I really can’t blame you here hahahaha.
Natalie Tan is a must read for me. I love romance. I love food. That cover is fabulous, and the author won me as a fan with her amazing crafts. Only a Breath was so good. I love McGarry and this was classic Katie, but at the same time, a little different. Sandy Hall is hilarious. I love her brand of funny.
Ahhh agree, I really can’t wait to read Natalie Tan, it sounds amazing 🙂
I’m so glad you liked both Only a Breath and Sandy Hall’s books, I can’t wait to read both 😀
Thank you so much for your comment! <3
How is this the first I’ve heard of As We Go Forth?? I’m so excited! And I’ve been seeing Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune everywhere recently! (Which is great because that cover is BEAUTIFUL!) One of the most recent books I added to my TBR recently is The Silence Between Us by Alice Gervais. It sounds really awesome and I don’t want to have to wait until August to read it. ?
AHHH I’m so happy I could put it on your radar, I CAN’T WAIT TO READ IT, I love these authors SO much and this one sounds so good!
Well thank you, I just added this book to my goodreads TBR, I hadn’t heard of it before but it sounds SO great ahhh!! 😀
Great list! I have couple of these too. The Weight in our Sky is one of my most anticipated and Nathalie Tan’s looks so cute, I can’t wait for it.
Ahh yay I’m glad to hear it! I hope we’ll both love these books 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Outrun the Moon was recently added to my TBR as well! I’d love to try Stacey Lee’s books and Outrun the Moon sounds like a great place to start !
So happy to hear this! I can’t wait to read all of Stacey Lee’s books either, they all sound incredible 😀
Thank you so much for your comment! 🙂
A crushing TBR is pretty much a constant as a reader haha— I am low key stressed about it!! But I love that there are so many books waiting for me. I really want to read the weight in our sky as I have heard so many good things about it and I expect it to be emotional *gets tissues* but I love it when a book can give you all the feels. Plus the cover is beautiful!!
And I am glad you want to read Holly Bourne’s new book— I will be excited to see what you think if you get to read it!!
Lovely post <3
Oh same, it’s a mix between stressed out and happy to have so many books to choose from hahaha 🙂
I’m so excited about the weight in our sky, but it sounds like a heavy read, need to be ready for it I guess 🙂
thank you so, so much!! 🙂
Hahaha! I love the title of your post! I am really eager to read Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune, too. It sounds like it is going to be a fantastic read. 🙂
Thank you so much!! I hope we will both love it 🙂
I loved Echo North and I hope you love it too! It was a wonderful read! I haven’t read Only A Breath Apart but I’ve heard great things about it!
I’m so glad you loveed it, I can’t wait to read it 🙂
Thank you, Raven!! <3
Only a breath apart was SUPER cute!! I highly recommend the author Say You’ll remember me was also great I think I may have even liked it better! Great list Marie!!
Ahhh that’s good to know, thank you for the recommendation! 😀 and thank you, Jamie! <3
I’m going to go right ahead and say my TBR doesn’t thank you for this ? But omg I hadn’t heard of all of these and want!! Also the cover for If You Come Softly is utterly gorgeous?! Covers never used to be this pretty and I used to save a lot of money lmao. ?
I’m sorry ? ?
I know right? I am so in love with that book cover – there are so many stunning covers lately, it makes NOT buying books even harder ?
Thank you, Cait! <3
I haven’t read any of these but I have If You Come Softly out from the library. It’s shorter than I expected. I also added Echo North and Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune to my list. Did you know there was a Mulan retelling coming out called The Magnolia Sword. I’ve recently added Why We Sleep, In Another Life, The Green Children of Woolpit, and The Binding.

Oh I hope you’ll enjoy If You Come Softly! 🙂
I’m glad you could add some books to your TBR and I didn’t know about that Mulan retelling, sounds great!! I’l have to check it out, thank you for the recommendation 🙂
The joys of book-blogging :p I haven’t added anything to my list in… a few days!!! Miracle! But I admit that I tend to add way more upcoming books and new releases than ever before! xxx
Aha yay, it’s always a win when we manage NOT to add too many books 😛
I have not read anything by Holly Bourne and I added The Places I’ve Cried In Public recently too. I am gonna check every book on this list.
Yay! I hope we’ll both love it and I hope you’ll find books you want to read on this list 🙂
Thank you so much! 🙂
More TBR additions! Mwahaha that is our lives isn’t it? :p I’m also excited for outrun the moon and natalie tan’s book of luck and fortune 🙂
It is our lives haha, but we don’t regret it, do we 🙂
Thank you so much!! I hope we’ll both love these books <3
I actually love Katie McGarry, probably one of my favorite romance writers. She makes her characters so…real! I’ve written a few reviews on her books. They’re super good. I never heard of this one though, and I added it to my TBR list as well. Great list, I ended up adding another 2-3 to my never ending list. Great post 🙂 xx

Ohhhhh, that’s so, so good to hear, I need to read her books now! I hope to do so soon 😀
Thank you so much! <3
I love that Emily and Austin’s 3rd book is on this list even though not much has been announced yet! I have so many releases on my TBR like The Weight of Our Sky and Natalie Tan <3 I can't wait to read them all 🙂
You know me, all of their books are just auto-add-to-TBR ? everything they write sound SO amazing and this one in particular sounds incredible <3
I hope we'll love all of these books! 🙂
Thank you so much, Tiffany <3
A Little Something Different sounds like such a cute and unique story, now I want to read it right away! ?
Aww I’m so glad if I could make you find a book to add to your TBR! Thank you so much,love! <3
I’ve read Outrun the Moon and I can 100% confirm that it is a stunning book. The female friendships that developed alongside such a harrowing event were gorgeous. Only A Breath Apart is on my immediate to-read list. Trust me when I say Katie McGarry’s books are addictive!
A Little Something Different was definitely different. I remember enjoying its quirky take on a love story, but some POV’s were a bit too out there and didn’t really contribute to the story, but was still fun. It’s not a remarkable book, but I appreciated how different it was.
Oh that’s good to hear, you’re making me even more impatient to read it! 🙂
I’m curious about A Little Something Different, I’m glad you still found that it was a fun read!
Thank you so, so much Lois! <3 <3
Oh I love these types of posts, it’s always interesting to see what others have recently added to their TBR’s! ? I have also gotten interested in Echo North because Kat talked about it, I really have to get ahold of that one sometime ? I also saw Holly Bourne’s new book, but I’m afraid that it will rip out my heart ?
I’m terrified that Holly Bourne’s book will rip out my heart as well, but… I’m also so ready for it somehow? haha. It sounds so good, too?! 🙂
Thank you so much, Caro!! <3 <3
I absolutely love The Weight of Our Sky (as you know!!) and can’t recommend it enough, though I have to warn you that it’s SUPER heavy and can be pretty rough at times. But, it does elucidate a lot about a largely invisible but important piece of history. I hope you can read it. ?
I really want to read it, but I’m definitely going to wait a little while, for a time when I’m ready to tackle such a heavy book. It sounds incredible though <3
Thank you so, so much for stopping by <3 <3
I am really excited about Only A Breath Apart. I love Katie McGarry’s books. I’ve owned A Little Something Different for so long now, I really need to get around to reading it. Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune sounds really good and I love that cover.
Ahh really? I need to read some of her books at some point, they all sound really good! 🙂
Natalie Tan’s cover does look amazing, I agree!
Thank you so much, Ashley! <3
I recently added Wicked Saints to my tbr and I’m really excited to read it later this month!
Ahhh that’s exciting, I’ve heard so many good things about this book! I hope you’ll love it 🙂
I definitely want to read echo north as well! Excellent list!
Thank you so much!! 😀
