So I read my next book (and technically final) from TBR Trail, The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett, for the prompt 2021 TBR - Random Genre - Contemporary, and I'll be reading The Darkness Outside Us next! I did read a book from all of of the rolls. I still have 2 left though, and it's the end of the month. So while this is technically the end, I will do a post for the last 2 books, because I am moving, and have less time to read, and I'm particular! But yeah! What about you guys? Happy reading!

TBR Trail #2, July 2021

I'm playing TBR Trail again, thanks to Kim from Expedition Through Pages! 

The rolls I got were:

STEM - Read a Book With a Dark Cover

I found 3 choices that have dark colours on them, but aren't fully dark. I'd love to read either of them, maybe both! 

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer-This cover does have white and pink, but mainly darker colours from the background. 

or

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir-This cover is half black, half yellow, so it does kinda work!

or 

Cold Falling White by G. S. Prendergast - This cover is dark to lighter green and black, with a bit of light, so it's the one that fits the most. 

2021 TBR - Random Genre - Contemporary 

I'm classing contemporary as a book set in the present day, with no supernatural elements. Which is why I chose this read

The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett by Chelsea Sedoti

Because it is a YA mystery, so it does work! 

Free Choice - Read a Book from the Gilmore Girls Reading Challenge 

I took a browse through the list, and this is the one that caught my eye! 

Carrie by Stephen King

I've kinda wanted to try Stephen King for a while, I've seen movies and tv shows based off his books, so it's high time I read one of his books! 

Fiction - Read a Book in a Genre You Do not Usually Read 

I didn't want to go the same route for this prompt that I've done in the past month, so I decided to go with a book that I recently bought, that is definitely not in a genre I usually read! 

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

This is shelved with literary fiction, which is not something I gravitate towards, and I do own it, so it'd be great to read it, and then pack it before I move, because it's currently on the TBR cart! 

TBR Trail March Update 5 and Wrap Up

So I read my final book from TBR Trail, Black River Falls, for the prompt STEM - Read a book with green on the cover, Book 2, and yeah, I'm pretty happy. I did read a book for all prompts, though I wish I'd read the last book for the one prompt, but I read 2 of them, so yeah! And it did come right down to the wire! But I'm glad for all the books that I read!

TBR Trail #1, March 2021

When Kim from Expedition Through Pages opened up to have the community get rolls, I had to participate. So I'm going to get 4 rolls for March (and you know I'll participate the next time there's a slot open.)

The rolls I got where:

2021 TBR - Read a Book Set in a Country Different to Your Own

Well, this is easy, because I live in Canada. I could go for Non-North America...

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins-which is set in New York City, Paris, and Barcelona, all of which are cities that are not in Canada, and 2/3rds are not North America. This is a book from my NetGalley 21 Books to Read in 2021. (I was debating using Nil by Lynne Matson, but it was set on a island, so a bit more iffy on fulfilling the prompt.

Free Choice - Listen to an audiobook

Well, this is not easy. I have trouble with audiobooks, for the same reason I have trouble with phone calls, I just have trouble understanding what's being said. (I really love subtitles for when I'm watching things. So I'm going to bend it a little bit to "read a format rarely used" instead.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirate's Silver by Faith Erin Hicks and Peter Wartman, Illustrated by Adele Matera 

Dark One by Brandon Sanderson, Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Nathan C. Gooden, Kurt Michael Russell

This is a graphic novel, which I don't read much of. Though I'm trying to read more of it! Switching them out, because I got Dark One as an ARC, so I need to prioritize it! 

STEM - Read a book with green on the cover

I have two choices for this one. One I have to reread the first book, but I want to finish the series. The other, I own, I got an ARC of, and it came out years ago. Oh, and one that has hints of green, so I'm not too sure it counts but is also an ARC that comes out March 2nd.

Strange Skies by Kristi Helvig

or 

Black River Falls by Jeff Hirsch

or 

Dead Space by Kali Wallace

Who knows, maybe I'll read all 3 of them this month! 

Fiction/Free Choice - Read a book with red on the cover

Oh, man, this was so easy! 

Amid the Crowd of Stars by Stephen Leigh

This is a fiction sci fi with a cover that is half red, so it definitely works! 

And I agree, it was really satisfying that all 8 places got a prompt! And I can't wait to read these books on my TBR! What about you guys? Happy reading!
