I’ve been missing the TBR Lows & Highs meme lately, so I thought it might be nice to go back through the last couple of months of titles I’ve added to my Goodreads TBR and highlight a few of the most exciting ones!
And by a few, I mean… 30? We’ll make it quick, don’t worry.
(This was only maybe 20% of my TBR additions since my last Lows & Highs post.)
| A Dark and Hollow Star
Sadly this doesn’t come out until next year, but it’s a YA fae book with an f/f main couple and an m/m side couple and loads of mental illness rep and I AM EXCITED ? |
Honestly, I was sold on this adult fantasy as soon as I heard the MC’s nickname is “Bitch Queen” because, for whatever reason, that sort of thing just… really appeals to me. ? It sounds very stabby and fun and dark and I pre-ordered it, so hopefully I’ll get to it very soon! |
A romance with own-voices Black rep featuring a 40-year-old heroine and her brand new (and much younger) instructor? I’m super here for this. |
Do you mean to tell me… there’s an entire book revolving around the “only one bed” trope?!?! (I might have ordered a copy of this immediately after writing this post…) |
Apparently this is a weird contemporary/horror crossover about absolutely awful characters, and I haven’t seen almost anyone besides Kayla from BooksAndLala like it… but she made it sound so intriguing?! |
Horror, witchcraft, feminism, and Seanan McGuire raved about it, so how could I not want to read it as soon as humanly possible? |
This cover… celestial courts… Hindu mythology… *swoon* |
I love creepy camera stories ? |
All I know about this is that it has queer girls and that’s enough for me sometimes |
f/f rom-coms! Please!!! |
I’ve always been fascinated by the real-life story that inspired this book, so even though it’s about to release and I know it was a dumb idea… I miiight have requested this from Edelweiss today ? |
I haven’t read anything by this author, but SO MANY people have messaged me to tell me to read this! I have the ebook on hold, but it’s got a 16-week wait, so it’ll be a while. ? |
Final Cuts: New Tales of Hollywood Horror and Other Spectacles Retellings of horror movies!!! My brand!! |
This is set in the same world as Red Sister, but Mark Lawrence said you don’t have to read that before this, I think. |
I wasn’t sure I wanted to read this, but now I’m seeing it EVERYWHERE, so I caved and put a copy on hold at the library. It’s about a group of guys who read romance novels to learn how to make their marriages better. ? |
Dark romance about a woman who sells herself to a “master”. Sometimes you just need something sleazy. ?♀️ |
Revenge stories against abusers!!! Yes!!! |
A thriller about a hotel manager who creeps on his guests via hidden cameras until one of his guests is murdered. *gasp* |
I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews on this lately so I’m not rushing to buy it, but I know it involves a dystopian society, queer rep, aliens, and a secret library, all of which sound pretty cool. |
Gimme aaaaaall the dark fairytale retellings~ |
I think this is a thriller about a girl who wants to get back at the popular kids at school after they hurt her sister? I really just want more dark YA contemporary revenge stories in my life. |
LOOK AT THIS COVER LOOK AT IT |
Oh, man. YA contemporary stories with bi girl rep and grief… that’s my shit right there. |
A queer novel in verse with poverty rep. I never see good poverty rep in YA and it’s something that means a LOT to me on a very personal level, so that alone made me want to read this. |
I’ve had mixed experiences with Poston’s writing, but honestly, I couldn’t NOT add this with how gorgeous it is, and I always love the theme of mysterious animal companions that might not just be animals. |
YA horror, this cover is BEAUTIFUL, and I love haunted house stories where the house is the threat. |
I’m still such a sucker for fallen angel stories ? |
A woman accidentally releases the demon Lilith, who goes on a homicidal rampage against men. I think. It sounds pretty awesome. |
A Tor.com novella by SGJ? Featuring mannequins and teen pranks gone wrong? GIMME |
… I’m finally caving and adding the alien smut book. |

March 3, 2020I read The Flatshare, and it really didn’t work for me. It’s clunky and choppy writing and the characters were just boring.

March 8, 2020You added so many great looking books to your TBR recently. I have quite a few of these on my TBR. I’ve been seeing The Bromance Book Club around so much and have always been on the fence about reading it, but I found it at a used bookstore last month and couldn’t pass it up. I read Darling Rose Gold and it was pretty good. I’ve always been interested in the real story that inspired the book as well and this was a nice little twist on the real story.

April 2, 2020I added too many books to my TBR because of this post.
