Top Ten Tuesday: (Five) Books on My Spring 2022 TBR

Created by and with thanks to That Artsy Reader! I was super prepared for this week’s theme, because I’ve been planning my spring TBR for months, thanks to March Madness! I ran a bookish March Madness bracket last year, for my readers to choose my April TBR–and it was such a blast, I’m doing it again this year. We’re two voting rounds in at the moment, but you can check out rounds one and two, and vote on the final round this Friday! So as far as my spring TBR goes, my April reading will be my four March Madness winners–but I’ve got something special in store for May, too…

1. A Romance
It’ll be one of the pictured, I know that much–it depends what wins the March Madness category! (I might be secretly hoping for Chloe Brown or The Road Trip…)

2. One from the Backlist
Again, I’ll have to wait for the March Madness winner to know which of the pictured backlist books I’ll be reading. I’ve had all of these for 2+ years, but I might be secretly pulling for Carry On, because I really want to know what the Baz fuss is about…

3. A Fantasy
If last year’s results are anything to go by, it’ll be a Sarah J. Maas that wins–she was only narrowly beaten out last year by the newly-released Chain of Iron. The bigger question is, whether it wins or not, do I read The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires ASAP, or do I save it for Halloween…?

4. A Reread
All of these fill me with so much nostalgic joy, I could happily reread any of them. I could not possibly pick a horse to back in this race.

5. Persuasion by Jane Austen
And finally, a non-March Madness contender! I’m planning to have a Regency-era May, catching up on Bridgerton (books and TV show), and tackling one of the two Austen books I’ve yet to read. Here’s hoping I manage it, instead of being sucked into watching the 1995 Pride and Prejudice again…
