Okay besties… we failed our TBR.

We break down our April wrap up and May TBR, including what we actually read, what surprised us, and what completely derailed our plans. From Shield of Sparrows to The Deal and other viral BookTok books, this month had range.

We also get into:

00:00 We failed our TBR
02:00 DNF to obsessed… Shield of Sparrows pipeline
06:00 Is binge reading better than waiting for sequels?
10:30 The Deal review… fun or cringey?
15:30 Book to movie adaptations… are we doing too much?
21:00 The most divisive book of the month
26:00 May TBR… are we being realistic?
30:00 What we are actually excited to read

Then we reset for May with a more realistic TBR… or at least we are pretending it is.

If you are looking for what to read next or want honest reader reactions, this one is for you.
