Books to Read Right Now: My Favorite Reads and TBR List

What book are you reading right now?!

If you’re anything like me, your TBR (to-be-read) list grows faster than you can keep up! I’m always swapping recommendations with family and friends. I’m scribbling book titles and authors on scraps of paper, saving screenshots to my photo gallery, or adding to my phone notes app. It has finally gotten to the point where I keep everything in one place.

That’s why I created a Bookshop.org account to track the books I’ve read, the ones I want to read, and the titles I’m most excited to dive into. I’ve organized my lists by categories: History & Science, Banned Books, Mystery & Thriller, Humorous Mysteries & Crime Capers & Cozy Mystery, Fiction, Nature, True Crime, Cook Book, and Puzzles, Brain Teasers & Logic Games.

Now it’s all in one place and you can browse it too!!
