Good morning and a happy Tuesday to you all! I’ve been having a super week of reading lately (including listening to an audiobook or two which is new for me), and I feel excited to be getting through my TBR a teensy bit faster.

But of course, as books get off the TBR, many more get added onto it.

This week’s TTT focuses on the books I am highly anticipating this fall. Some of these titles have just come out this month, but I have still included them here because I have yet to read any of these titles.

Let’s begin!

Good morning friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I definitely have been a bit busy lately. I wrote a blog post yesterday discussing what makes a good romance, and I feel particularly proud about it. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can check it out here. I would love to discuss with you!

I also recently started an official bookstagram account for this blog! I am not the most tech savvy or creative in digital arts, but I wanted to try something different and see where it goes. I would love to interact with you on that medium if you frequent Instagram! You can find me here, or by clicking the Instagram icon at the top or bottom of this post.

Now, onto today’s TTT! I personally have not read too many books with numbers in it, as it turns out, but I managed to whip up a list in my TBR.

Have you read any of these titles?

If you’ve read these, let me know your thoughts as I’m unsure if I should keep some of these on my TBR (really need to clean that thing out some time).

And as always, let me know if any of these titles are on your list too! Thank you for stopping by ❤

Good morning, friends! If you live in North America, I hope you had a lovely long weekend. I had a wonderful time taking my dog out for some day-long fun, and watching the historic release of an Asian-led cast in a Marvel movie on a big screen under the stars. All in all, I’m feeling more refreshed for another long week at work, and I’m hoping you all had a restful weekend too.

Today’s TTT is all about books that make you smile. I enjoy books, but I find that I’ve become more picky over the years after all the books I’ve read over my lifetime. While I’ll like it, that doesn’t always mean that they make me smile. For example, I love fantasies, absolutely ADORE them, but when I just want to smile and relax, I want something lighter and more carefree like a rom-com.

If I really consider it, books that are guaranteed to make me smile fall into two categories. Books I loved and read growing up as a child with a book always under her arm, or books that have the best romantic angst that kept me flipping pages. The first category because they have such strong connections to a specific time period in my childhood/early teen years, and the second category because I’m so connected with the characters and want to root them on.

I list some titles below that fit either category.

Nostalgia from childhood!
