From the Backlist

Like every reader out there, I love new releases. However, there are so many great books on my Kindle and my unread shelf that are being neglected in favor of the books that are shiny and new. I thought it would be fun to feature some of the books that have been on my TBR for a while, and give them a little love.

Saint Maybe

I read Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant a few years ago, and it has really stuck with me. I read Clock Dance this summer and loved it. I'm anxious to read more Anne Tyler, and I have this one on my shelf. Have you read any of Anne Tyler's books? Let me know in the comments.

It's Monday! What are you reading?

I'm linking up with Book Date to share my Bout of Books read-a-thon TBR.

I'm participating in Bout of Books this week, so I'm sharing the books I'm hoping to read. I usually read two fiction books and one non-fiction book. I always pick shorter books, so that I can read them over the course of the week. I firmly believe in setting myself up for success. I'm also going to add in an audio book and a classic, but I don't plan to finish those. Here's what I have on the docket for the week.

Fiction books:

Flora

Sunburn

Non-fiction:

Funny in Farsi

Audio book:

The Ensemble

Classic:

Middlemarch

I will be updating my reading progress here on the blog all week. I'll also be doing the Bout of Books Instagram challenge. My handle is @daysathomereading if you'd like to follow me. What are you reading this week? Let me know in the comments.
