Hello lovely readers! I had much more to say this month but my first attempt at posting this month's prompts disappeared so this is the second time I'm posting this discussion. We have four simple prompts this time around so it'll be a low stress month. Have a happy St. Patrick's Day if you celebrate and happy reading!

The Prompts

Spin #1: Title Wheel



Spin #2: Cover Wheel



Spin #3: Setting/Trop Wheel



Spin #4: Misc. Wheel



That's a wrap everyone. Go forth and build those TBR's. 💚📚

I'm nearly halfway through it, Nat. I wasn't sure whether I should read The adventures of Huckleberry Fin again before listening to it but ultimately I'm very glad that I did. It has elevated the story so much having read the original work directly before picking up James. It makes my heart happy to read the story he is given, the intelligence and insight. I can see why its so beloved!

I may read The Foxhole Court for the Bingo prompt to read a book from someone else's TBR. I've been meaning to pick it up anyway 🤔

1. An animal in the title: Cycle of the Werewolf
Ok sorry also, I am taking some liberty with this one, with "wolf" being embedded in werewolf, I really have the longest TBR this month that I've ever had, so I can't add another book lol
2. A minimalist cover: Small Things Like These
3. Set in a small town: Wild Eyes
4. Repeat of favorite WoTBR '24 prompt (I am using the Paid $5 or less for from November): The Loney

Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan Wild Eyes (Rose Hill, #2) by Elsie Silver The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley

I did not come close to my goal, but I did get reading done this month, all audio. Maybe a few pages of a physical book and some ebooks, but didn't finish any of those. I finished The Foxhole Court, and I switched This Used to be Easier in for my book set in a small town.
I would say I hope I do better in April, but I'll still be very busy working on stuff for school, so my hope is that I keep finding books that I enjoy.
