My Quarantine Reading List

I learned a new bookish acronym #QTBR, which stands for Quarantine To Be Read (list/pile/stack). It makes my literary soul so happy to see everyone sharing their book recos and reading lists, but it can be overwhelming to know where to start and what to invest your reading time into — my advice (and take this with a grain of salt because there’s already a lot of advice on social media that you absolutely don’t have to listen to at all lol) — is just to pull out the unread books tucked in nooks around your house, stack them in a pile and make your way down starting from the top.

This is my #TBR list (pictured) of books I’ve been meaning to read but haven’t had a chance to (with the exception of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which I’ve already read but wanted to recommend!)

What I’m Reading While Social Distancing (My #QTBR):

  1. AT BERTRAM’S HOTEL BY AGATHA CHRISTIE

  2. AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE BY TAYARI JONES

  3. RECIPE FOR A PERFECT WIFE BY KARMA BROWN

  4. A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN BY BETTY SMITH

  5. BROWSE: LOVE LETTERS TO BOOKSHOPS AROUND THE WORLD BY HENRY HITCHINGS

  6. BEFORE AND AFTER THE BOOK DEAL BY COURTNEY MAUM

  7. YEAR OF THE MONKEY BY PATTI SMITH

  8. A LITTLE LIFE BY HANYA YANAGIHARA

  9. THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID

I would love to know what you’re reading while social distancing at home?! I always add new recommendations to my GoodReads list to get to eventually!

HAPPY READING!!!
