I’m still participating in the Unread Shelf Challenge hosted by Whitney at The Unread Shelf, and this month’s Unread Shelf Challenge is to read the books that you have most recently acquired, so I’m building my March TBR with this thought in mind.
To help me whiddle down my books, I have a few categories I’d like to try to hit each month:
- A Backlist Title: Hollow Kingdom by: Kira Jane Buxton
- A BOTM Title: Writers & Lovers by: Lily King
- A Nonfiction Title: Hood Feminism: Notes From the Women That a Movement Forgot by: Mikki Kendall
- A NetGalley/Edelweiss Title: Sin Eater by: Megan Campisi
- A Memoir: The Book of Rosy: A Mother’s Story of Separation at the Border by: Rosayra Pablo Cruz
- At least 2 physical ARCs:
- #HWRbooks: (Please note that I am suspending the #HWRbooks club for now. I’m not sure if/when I’ll reinstate it, but the participation is low and the feedback seemed to suggest that it’s too hard to focus on “required” reading.)
Other books up for consideration:
- The Book of Longings by: Sue Monk Kidd
- Afterlife by: Julia Alvarez
- The House of Deep Water by: Jeni McFarland
- All Adults Here by: Emma Straub
- Hollywood Park by: Mikel Jollett
- Ingredients: The Strange Chemistry of What We Put in Us and On Us by: George Zaidan
- Transcendent Kingdom by: Yaa Gyasi
- The Affairs of the Falcóns by: Melissa Rivero
- A Prayer for Travelers by: Ruchika Tomar
- Home Fire by: Kamila Shamsie
There you have it! What’s on your list of hopefuls for the month of April?
Happiest When Reading 
I absolutely adored A Prayer for Travelers. The style was completely unique and really worked for me. Writers & Lovers was also a win for me. I’m excited to get to All Adults Here, too. Happy reading!

Ooh, it seems like you’ve picked up some great books recently! I’m particularly interested to hear what you think of both Oona Out of Order and Hood Feminism.

Unfortunately, Hood Feminism didn’t work for me. I’m sure it’s the timing.
