My Name Chooses my TBR
Hello friends,
I cannot express how excited I am to do this challenge!! I planned on doing this last week but I found out my family was visiting from Germany and had to put this on the back burner. I was inspired to do this after I saw Sara’s video from a couple months ago. In her video she chose books that spell out her name. My name has 5 letters so I’ll be reading 5 books for this challenge (all of which I’m dying to read). I chose these after hours of scrolling through every single list on my Goodreads, Storygraph, KU, and Libby. I’ll be sharing my review for each book in my July reads post at the end of the month. Keep scrolling to check out which books I chose for this challenge!

I’m so happy with my selection!! There were so many I was choosing between, which made this selection process so hard, but I think I have a pretty good list. I’m probably the most excited about the fantasy graphic novels. I haven’t read a fantasy in what feels like forever and it’s been even longer since I’ve picked up a graphic novel. Originally I thought about reading these on Libby but I might just go to the library and pick them up (because why not?)
Maybe next time I’ll do my middle name and after that my last name because this is honestly such a vibe.
With love & a cup of coffee,
