Top Ten Tuesday: Did I read my Spring TBR?

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

So since this week is a freebie, I decided to check in on an earlier topic. I am the worst in sticking to a TBR, so I wanted to check in on my Spring 2023 TBR. Did I read all the books I was hoping to read back then? Let’s find out!

  • The Girl With the Louding Voice by Abi Darรฉ – No, I still haven’t read it. I keep forgetting about this book somehow and that’s just so unfortunate.
  • Legends & lattes by Travis Baldree – Yes, but I had to DNF it. I just couldn’t do this, I was so bored all the time.
  • Tokyo Dreaming by Emiko Jean – No, but I’m planning to pick this up soon to catch up on my reading challenge. It’s such a fast-paced book so I can get back on track with it sooner rather than later.
  • A Thousand Heartbeats by Kiera Cass – Yes! Unfortunatley it was not really for me. [my review]
  • Every Summer After by Carley Fortune – Yes! However, I expected something totally different from what I got though. [my review]
  • I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver – Yes, I’ve also read this! [my review]
  • Love from Mecca to Medina by S.K. Ali – No, not yet. So many books….. We all know the second part of this phrase right?
  • In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune – No, I haven’t read this either. To be honest, this book seems to fly under the radar altogether.
  • Fresh Blood by Nicole Arend – Absolutely and this was a pleasant surprise! [my review]
  • The Switch by Beth O’Leary – Yes, but unfortunately I wasn’t as hyped as many other readers. [my review]

When looking back on this TBR, I’m surprised how many books I actually managed to read in the past few months and I did a pretty good job sticking to it!

Verdict: 5 out of 10, 6 if you include my DNF.


Did you set yourself a Spring TBR and how well did you do in sticking to it?

  1. haha. I did just about ok with my spring TBR too. I read 6 out of the 10 books listed. But I pretty much enjoyed everything I read. So, that was good!

    Here’s my TTT: https://nishitak.com/2023/07/11/top-ten-tuesday-best-books-of-2023-so-far/

  2. You did pretty good! I can never stick to a TBR list lol, I’m such a mood reader.

    1. Oh me too, but it worked out well I guess!

  3. I loved GIRL WITH THE LOUDING VOICE. It is an excellent choice as an audiobook. Check and see if your library has it for loan.

    1. I got myself the ebook early last year. I think I want to read this book in my native language though.

  4. I fared really, really badly with my Year ’23 TBR plans. So what do I do? I set a new TBR pile, of course! *rolls eyes at herself* Think you’re doing better than that (6 of 10 is pretty good)! ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. You did better than I did with the Spring TBR. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.

  6. I’m pretty sure I read 0 of my spring TBR, so I think you did awesome!

  7. Six out of ten is pretty good if you ask me!

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

  8. Pretty good! I got 8 out of 10 for my spring reading list, but I’m doing a lot worse on my summer reading list. I just keep on picking up other books!

  9. Oh, I don’t do good with my TBR list at all. It is so full, and I sit back and wish I could read them all at once, lol! Have a wonderful day, Laurie ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’œ

  10. 6/10 is pretty good though!

  11. You did well! I haven’t taken stock of my last TBR yet, but I always see those posts as “maybe” books in any case. Congrats to you!

    1. Oh good aproach!

  12. You didn’t do too badly. I doubt I’ve read that many from my Spring TBR. I’m too afraid to check…ha ha.

    Happy TTT!

  13. You did pretty good getting some of these read! I hope you can get to the rest soon.

    Here’s my TTT post.

  14. Seems like you did pretty well-sorry you didn’t enjoy more of them though!

  15. Great idea for a theme! (I had to check out another “Laurie”!)
    I’m working on two year-round challenges as well as Big Book Summer, so no Spring TBR challenge for me. The Girl with the Louding Voice has been on my radar for a while, so I should add it to my official TBR!
