Hi loves! Time for another TBR Thursdays!

TBR Thursdays is a weekly segment that highlights books, ebooks, and ARCs that I own and have been in my TBR forever. At the end of the year, I’ll do a recap to see how many of these books I actually read.

For this TBR Thursday, I’m choosing…

Twins Carys and Andreus were never destined to rule Eden. With their older brother next in line to inherit the throne, the future of the kingdom was secure.

But appearances—and rivals—can be deceiving. When Eden’s king and crown prince are killed by assassins, Eden desperately needs a monarch, but the line of succession is no longer clear. With a ruling council scheming to gain power, Carys and Andreus are faced with only one option—to take part in a Trial of Succession that will determine which one of them is worthy of ruling the kingdom.

As sister and brother, Carys and Andreus have always kept each other safe—from their secrets, from the court, and from the monsters lurking in the mountains beyond the kingdom’s wall. But the Trial of Succession will test the bonds of trust and family.

With their country and their hearts divided, Carys and Andreus will discover exactly what each will do to win the crown. How long before suspicion takes hold and the thirst for power leads to the ultimate betrayal.

I remember seeing the cover for this and reading the premise and thinking “Whoa…this book sounds so awesome and exciting!” I bought the ebook a few weeks after it was released, but around spring and summer I tend to read YA contemporaries. I put this aside for fall/winter, but as you can tell, I still haven’t gotten to it. Have you read Dividing Eden? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below if I should bump this up on my list.

What are some books on your TBR that you decided to put aside to read later on, but ended up forgetting about it?

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hello lovely readers and Happy Friday Eve!!

For this TBR Thursday, I’m choosing…

millionjunes

PUBLISHED BY RAZORBILL MAY 16, 2017

GENRE(S): YOUNG ADULT, FANTASY, ROMANCE

PAGES: HARDCOVER 350

synopsispic

For as long as Jack “June” O’Donnell has been alive, her parents have had only one rule: stay away from the Angert family. But when June collides—quite literally—with Saul Angert, sparks fly, and everything June has known is thrown into chaos.

Who exactly is this gruff, sarcastic, but seemingly harmless boy who has returned to their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, after three mysterious years away? And why has June—an O’Donnell to her core—never questioned her late father’s deep hatred of the Angert family? After all, the O’Donnells and the Angerts may have mythic legacies, but for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them.

As Saul and June’s connection grows deeper, they find that the magic, ghosts, and coywolves of Five Fingers seem to be conspiring to reveal the truth about the harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations. Now June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored, and she must decide whether it’s finally time for her—and all the O’Donnells before her—to let go.

First of all, isn’t that cover just gorgeous?!?! A Million Junes by Emily Henry is just one of the many books that’s been on my TBR in forever. I bought the ebook and somehow forgot about it. Guess that happens often when you buy more books than you can read. Definitely hoping I’ll get to this before the year ends.

Have you read A Million Junes? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below!
