Hello friends, I am back with another Top Ten Tuesday! This weeks theme is books on my spring 2022 TBR. I’m not big on strict TBRs because I’m a mood reader and I love to just pick whatever my brain is feeling. But, I do always have books that I’d love to get to soon. So, here are some books that I’d love to get to in spring this year.

Hello friends,
I’m sure you are all aware of the things going on in the U.S. and Canada in terms of anti-racism, black rights, police brutality, etc. So, today I decided to create a list of books to help you educate yourself. I have not read all of these, as we all have to do better and be better. So here are some fiction books by black authors. This is by no means a conclusive list! These are just some that are high up on my list of books I need to read. I encourage you all to have a look and continue to read from these amazing authors.

Hello friends,
Today I’m here to talk about my Goodreads Want to Read shelf again. So, I had almost 300 books on my Want to Read shelf and it just wasn’t useful anymore. There was no way I was going to get to all of those books and I wasn’t even going to it to pick out books to read/buy/borrow next. So, I decided to go through my list and delete some books. This isn’t to say that I’m never going to pick any of these up, but it means that I’m not dying to read them or buy them so they needed to go. Honestly, I have a whole list of books I want to read that I don’t own, but I wanted it off of Goodreads. So, here are all the books I’ve deleted.
