May TBR

So the following pieces of literature I’m about to discuss are all the things I plan to read in the lovely, length month of May!

First off, I am currently reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.    The basic premise of this book is that there is a circus that only ever appears at night, never announcing when it’s coming or going, and it’s colour-scheme is entirely black, white and grey.

At first I found this book a little bit confusing, but just paying attention to the dates and everything got my head around it all pretty quickly. It is really enchanting and it’s such a wonderfully crafted combination of these artistic, dazzling scenes of the circus, combined with this very intense, dark sub-story. It’s really great and I imagine I’ll finish it in a reasonable amount of time, it’s just one of those books you do really have to pay attention to because even the small details mean everything.

I then plan to read;

Ms. Marvel Volumes #1 and #2 by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona.

So stoked. I don’t need words right now. I’m just so scared to start, knowing I’ll have to wait forever for Volume 3!

The Wicked and the Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie.

As I said in my March Payday Book Haul, I’ve already read work of Gillen and McKelvie before, and have had the pleasure of meeting them both at a signing for that series, which was the Marvel Now! run of Young Avengers, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’ve heard nothing but good things, and again, I’m just very excited.

Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky.

Look, I love Matt Fraction for his work on Hawkeye and this is a story about people who use their power of being able to stop time during sex to rob banks. Why on earth won’t I enjoy this?

The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas.

Those of you that have been with this blog for a time know that I have fallen head over heels for the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. While trying to fill the void between now and the release of the fourth book, Queen of Shadows in September, I decided to pick up the collection of the novella’s, which explain more about Celaena’s life before the series. I’m super excited to re-unite with my babe, and find out more about her!

And finally;

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.

(ft. ugly ass sticker that won’t come off properly.)

I pre-ordered this shortly after finishing Throne of Glass because honestly, I heard she was writing a new series, featuring another female protagonist with a dark past, and I was just sold. I love Sarah’s writing, I like her character developments, and I think her stories are exciting. So I’ve picked this up, and honestly I have no real clue what the book is about except lady protag, dark past/deeds, and that is it. The blurb is a little bit confusing, so I am just going to go into this book essentially blind, which is very exciting!

So, yeah. Very much an ambitious reading list, but I honestly believe it can be done! Hopefully this month I’ll be able to squeeze in my single issue comics too, so we shall see!!

Until my next post, this is me for the night! I hope you’re all doing fabulous. Let me know if you’ve read any of the books on my TBR and let us talk about them!!!

All the best, and fare thee well!
