Last year, I started creating my quarterly seasonal reflections. I always create a seasonal TBR, but I thought it would also be fun to look back on the same season of the previous year. As Spring is fast approaching, it’s time to reflect on Spring 2024. Did I read the TBR I set myself for this season? And how did I do on my bookhauls for April, May or June 2024?

Did I read my Spring 2024 TBR?

1. ✔️ One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid – I listened to it during my summer getaway, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of this story.
2. ✔️ True Biz by Sara Novic – I listened to this audiobook in Spring and it was okay.
3. ❌ A Touch of Ruin by Scarlett St. Clair – I still can’t seem to get myself to pick this up.
4. ✔️ The Women by Kristin Hannah – One of my 2024 favourites.
5. ✔️ Tokyo Dreaming by Emiko Jean – Finally read this last month.
6. ❌ The Wall of Winnipeg and me by Mariana Zapata – I really need to pick this up at this point.
7. ❌ Twisted Lies by Ana Huang – This one is on my backlist books for 2025 list.
8. ✔️ Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross – I listened to this duology as audiobooks and I think these worked best for me. I finished this one in summer though.
9. ✔️ Heartless by Elsie Silver – I still think the first book was better.
10. ✔️ The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi – I started it, but this was a DNF for me.
