Spring Reading Season TBR (2022)

For spring, these are the ten books prioritized at the top of my TBR Mountain. I finished seven books from my Winter TBR and didn’t get to three: 2 are going back on my general TBR….they’ve been on and off my priority TBR a couple of times and I am not feeling the urgency (#moodreader) and one will be put on next winter’s TBR because it’s a Christmas romance.
For this Spring TBR, there are a mix of genres, and I’m hoping for some winners here. Have you read any of these or is one on your TBR? ***Note: four are ARC (advanced reader copy) commitments and publication dates are noted.
I never plan more than ten titles for my quarterly TBR lists because I need to leave time for mood reading and review commitments. These ten books (in no particular order) are a priority on a much longer general TBR.
What is your most anticipated read this spring?
I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday: Spring 2022 To Be Read List.

I’ve had the Joan Didion book on my radar for years but keep shying away from it because it sounds so heart rending.

Same! I’ve committed to tackling some of my long time TBR titles! If it’s too much, I’ll try again next year.

The Diamond Eye is one I want to read. I really liked The London House. Beth Wiseman is an author I like. I didn’t realize she had a new book coming out. I will definitely look for that one.
I don’t make seasonal TBR lists, but the idea appeals to me. I just tend to be such mood reader that sometimes making a list makes me not want to read those books. But, honestly, I do usually have a mental “want to read next” list going.

I’m an incorrigible mood reader so I make these lists to reign myself in! I just received the Wiseman arc yesterday….maybe you can get it! It will be my first by her. I hope we both love Diamond Eye!

I have 5 of these on my TBR. I think I am most looking forward to Diamond Eye of all the new books coming out this spring, but I have so many I want to read or listen to. I hope you enjoy all these books, Carol.

NUMBER THE STARS is a great one! It’s a fast read, but very moving and thought-provoking. There’s a reason it’s a classic 🙂 Other than that, I haven’t read any of the books on your list. The bookish ones look appealing to me, of course!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
