This is the second time that I have put forward a TBR for the coming month as the last one seemed to go down well. Some of the review copies and Wishful thinking are the same as last time as I ended up reading the five on the Wainwright longlist that I hadn’t yet read. There are quite a few library books to read too, as these are reaching the end of their renewal phase. Probably not going to get to all of those. I know I am not going to get to all of these, I only managed 17 last month in the end, but aiming to make a serious indent into the list below

Any on there that you have read, or want to read? Let me know in the comments below.
Chernobyl is a really timely read, with the Netflix series blowing up(!). And I’ve heard both Bitter Almonds and On Beauty are fantastic, hope you get to them, would love to hear your thoughts 😉
I haven’t seen the series, I think it is on Sky in the UK. Heard good things about it though
