TTT: Books I Was SUPER Excited About But Haven't Read Yet!

Oops, a few days late this time! Anyway, sometimes getting a book is more thrilling than actually reading it, as told by my physical bookshelf which has close to 40 books on it that I haven't gotten around to reading yet! Here is a short list of ones that I was so anxious to read, the reason/how it was acquired, and recalled the date/year I got it.

Surprise Me - Sophie Kinsella: Nov 28, 2017 (arc)

The Family Upstairs - Lisa Jewell: Sept 24, 2019 (arc)

The Dry - Jane Harper: June 2020 (book to movie)

Luckiest Girl Alive - Jessica Knoll: May 2017 (book to movie)

Sometimes I Lie - Alice Feeney: June 2020 (friend's copy- luckily she didn't want it back!)

Everything I Never Told You - Celeste Ng: June 2020 (classic!)

Malibu Rising - Taylor Jenkins Reid: May 27, 2021 (BOTM)


The Therapist - B.A. Paris: March 17, 2021 (arc)

Any Way The Wind Blows - Rainbow Rowell: July 6, 2021 (last in series)

The Day The World Came To Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland - Jim DeFede: Dec 2021 (became available on Paperback Swap!)


What's on your list?

Currently: May

First of all, Happy Star Wars Day!



Reading: We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler. It's such a weird book, but I'm glad I'm finally reading again. 

Listening to: my coworker shared this with me and I gotta admit that it's so catchy (even if I'm not particularly that into my nails)! Netta - I Love My Nails


Watching: I just watched the latest Spiderman: No Way Home in preparation for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (coming out tomorrow!). Also watching the second season of The Flight Attendant on Hulu which is just as crazy (but a lot less drunk, thankfully) as last season. 

Consuming: currently I'm consuming my morning coffee! I usually only have one (large) cup a day :)

Feeling: a little bit sore. I had a dentist appointment last night and had a scaling done where they had to numb the area so it's still a little ouchy now that the numbness wore off.

Finding: a Mother's Day present. I think I'm going to get her a Tile Tracker since she's always losing either her keys, her phone, or both! I like these pretty and functional cases for it too. 



Following: through on my goals and commitments. I made 10 goals for April and completed 6/10 so I'm calling it a win! 

Spending: lots on medical appointments and a tax adjustment from a few years ago, but not much else! As I purge my closet and get my spring wear out though I'm noticing I'll need to refresh a few items, so looking forward to that! 


What's currently going on with you?
