I'm still in a helluva reading slump but I've been craving a re-read of a fave lately, so my TBR for March is...

💀 The Siren and the Specter

I'll add more to this later if I succeed at this one ^ 😂

message 19: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan | 12 comments Going to attempt to finish ‘The Outlander Companion’. I’ve been reading it on and off since September (work for me between September and Easter is forget it-I have no life). Honestly, I should have read it while ‘recovering/quarantining-so-your-ass-is-in-bed’. Ended up watching Netflix and Disney+.

Plus anything else that I feel like picking up over the course of the month.

- The Archive of the Forgotten (M)
- Behind Her Eyes (M)
- The Mask Falling (M)
- The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper (M)
- I'll Give You the Sun DNF
- Made You Up
- After the Fire
- The Postscript Murders
- Keep Her Safe
- Mayhem (M)
