June TBR Lists

 

This blog is getting left behind, isn't it? It's a bit sad but inevitable right now...we just can't seem to let it go. Things are very far behind and it's always the last thing on the to-do list that gets seen to. Mr H should be starting a new job soon though and once he's settled in he'll hopefully have more time to work on this blog too.
For now, here is what we're reading in June!

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo - 427 pages

May TBR Lists

 

I know I'm like a broken record, but I really can never believe how fast the months fly in. The fifth reading month of the year already and so we are deliberately trying to get through some series that we're both in the middle of. That being the case means that we've dropped to two each on the TBR again due to some longer books.

Reading is going okay as of late, it's picked up for me a little (thankfully!) and I've caught up to be on track for my yearly goal. Hopefully, we'll get some time soon to put together our quarterly round-up before we continue being super behind with everything!

March TBR Lists

 

Sticking with the theme and posting our TBR lists for the month, when the next month is almost due haha! It's insane that it is already March, I literally don't know where the time goes...it especially doesn't go towards reading because 10 weeks into the year I've only finished 7 books (3 behind my goal so far) and Mr H has already gotten through 6 despite working all the time!
You'll see that reflected in our TBR lists below.

Mr H's TBR List
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo [308 pages]
The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J K Rowling [105 pages]
The Crooked Mask by Rachel Burge [278 pages]

Page Total - 691

February TBR Lists

 

Oh look, it's almost two weeks into the month and I'm only just posting our TBR lists...that makes a change eh? Ha! 

It's not even a surprise at this point, especially when I could only manage to get two posts up in the whole of January. At least we are beating that this month so far! 
If you wonder what all our time is spent on you can check on my other two blogs - Underland to Wonderland and Adventures of the Hallows - and of course on top of that Mr H is always at work and I have a household with 10 animals to take care of...not as easy as it seems!
Anyway, this is about our February TBR lists, so here they are. 

Mr H TBR List
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman [TBR Jar] - 435 pages
Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve - 435 pages

Page Total - 870 

Mrs H TBR List
The Ickabog by JK Rowling - 282 pages
The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman [TBR Jar] - 209 pages

Page Total - 491

Yep, only two each for this month. Considering the fact that I have more time to read than Mr H, he has actually completed 4 (nearly 5) good-sized books, whereas I've only just completed 4 including 2 audiobooks! Therefore I at least want to try and get myself caught up...if that's possible!

January TBR Lists

 

This should have been posted way sooner, for sure, however there is no rushing, schedule or time scales here anymore. It's for our own documentation, especially as no one else reads haha, but we also have too many other projects and work to contend with a strict book blogging regime. I suggested stopping altogether but Mr isn't keen on the idea, so here we are. Anyway, this is what we plan to read in January 2021!

Mr H TBR Lists
The Tale Of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo [TBR Jar] - 270 pages
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman - 341 pages
City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab - 285 pages

Page Total - 896

Mrs H TBR Lists
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern   [TBR Jar] - 486 pages
Brisingr by Christopher Paolini  [To be Completed 125/748] - 623 pages

Page Total - 1109

I can tell you already that despite beating my reading goal for 2020 I will start off this year very slowly as I find the Inheritance Cycle a slow one to progress through. As long as I get that book finished in January I will be happy though. Happy reading!

Until next time...

December TBR Lists

 

It's only been a week or so since I posted November's TBR, but now we are all caught up it didn't make any sense to postpone the usual start of the month TBR post. So for the final time in 2020, here is what we are each planning to read throughout this month.

Mr H's TBR List
The Bad Begining by Lemony Snicket - 162 pages
The Scent of Magic by Cliff McNish - 215 pages
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J K Rowling - 607 pages

- Page Total = 984

Mrs H's TBR List
The Ersatz Elevator by Lemony Snicket - 259 pages
The Umbrella Mouse by Anna Fargher - 274 pages
Frostheart by Jamie Littler - 410 pages

- Page Total = 943

November TBR Lists

It feels a little pointless to put this up now seeing as we've read 90% of it and the month is almost over, but I need to post it before next month's TBR otherwise there would be one missing and I can't have that. 
As always we chose these weeks ago, but after our little book blog break and catching up with a couple of other posts that's why it's a month late!

Mr H's TBR List

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman - 359 pages

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J K Rowling - 607

- Page Total = 966

Mrs H's TBR List

The Ghost Tree by Christina Henry - 507 pages

The Wizards of Once by Cressida Cowell - 453 pages

- Pages Total = 960

Seeing as it's the end of the reading month anyway, it's difficult to write much in way of a conclusion for this because we already know how it went...However, I will say since meeting my book total target for 2020 I guess I've personally lost a tiny bit of motivation. We did recently decide though that for next year any book-buying will be budgeted to £1.50 for every book we have read this year, which has spurred me on a little so I can earn more to spend haha!

Anyway, one more post and we'll be up to date. Woo hoo!

October TBR Lists

October is here!! The best month of the year! 
Sadly, we had to cancel our Honeymoon/my 30th Birthday holiday to Disneyland Paris which should have been this month. However, Mr H will still be off work for a few days and because we will be pretty much confined to our house that means we should have some prime reading opportunities. That is kind of reflected in our TBR choices which may be slightly optimistic in comparison to our usual lists and our actual pages read each month. We have to be optimistic about something though haha!

September TBR Lists

 

We'll keep this intro short and sweet. It's September's TBR lists and no matter what we read, it's all icing on the cake because I have already bypassed my yearly book total goal and Mr H only has 1 to go!
Here is what we hope to read this month.

July TBR Lists

How is it already that time of the month again?! We're only coming into month 7 of the year, yet both of us are well over half way with our Goodreads reading goals...however, I feel this month it might slow down a bit. Mr H has gone back to work pretty much on his original full hours now which takes away a big chunk of reading time. It also takes away my reading time somehow, but don't ask me how haha. Anyway, here is our TBR lists for the month of July!
