By kerrimcbooknerd on July 8, 2024

#5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter's Nook where you chose five books from your to-be-read pile that fit that week's theme. If you'd like more info, head over to the announcement post!

Hello, reader!

It's the start of another week (if you start your weeks on Monday like me) and it's time for another 5 On My TBR! This week's theme is one that makes me nervous, if I'm being honest. We're talking about books on our TBRs that are over 400 pages and, lately, my brain has been shying away from anything longer than 350 pages, haha. I'm still recovering from a pretty intense reading slump and my brain requires short and sweet right now. That being said, that means there are a lot of chonkers on my TBR to choose from!

Here are five random ones that I would love to read as soon as my brain stops being so freakin' buzzy.

#1. This Ravenous Fate by Hayley Dennings

Page count: 480
This one doesn't come out until August so perhaps I'll be in a better headspace once it's on shelves. I've got my fingers crossed because it sounds incredible! It features sapphic, Black vampires and I am so onboard. It's also set in Jazz Age Harlem which just sounds delightful. I'm expecting an angsty good time and I'm hoping I can gobble it up sooner rather than later.

#2. Fathomfolk by Eliza Chan

Page count: 448
I'm not gonna lie, I knew nothing about this book before receiving it in one of my Illumicrate boxes. Their special edition is absolutely stunning and that made me want to know more about the book! It looks like it's going to be filled with political intrigue and mythological creatures, which definitely has me intrigued. The low rating on Goodreads, however, makes me a little nervous... Best to find out for myself, though!
