Good morning, y’all! Well, we have reached July. And that means we have reached the end of the second quarter of the year. What? How did that happen so quickly? Am I the only one who feels like we blinked and it was over? Anyway, this year, I decided to do updates on my quarterly TBR. I post a seasonal TBR every quarter and share it at That Artsy Reader Girl. And now that we are through the first quarter of the year, I thought it was a great time to do a Winter 2024 TBR update. Did I read all ten books I had hoped to read?
You can find the original post here for more details on each book. All titles are linked to Goodreads.
Without further ado, here is my Spring 2024 TBR Update!

That concludes my Spring 2024 TBR Update. I must say, reading out of 10 feels pretty good for me. Especially as I was on a cruise in May. Have you read any of these books? What books did you read in the second quarter of 2024? What books are on your TBR for the third quarter of 2024?

Looking for Me was well worth it! I loved an Uncommon Reader and enjoyed Band of Sisters. Lessons in Chemistry WAS a DNF for me and no apologies! lol. Cover Me sounds interesting!
Some times I think I should have just DNF Lessons in Chemistry as it took so long for me to really start enjoying.

I like the sound of Cover Me. I do enjoy music, especially older stuff. After seeing the title of this post, I checked my Top Ten Spring reads and was happy to see that I have read 7 of them. I just bumped the other three up my TBR.
I will try to write a review of Cover Me when I get done read it.

This looks like great progress to me! I usually consider it a win if I can knock half of the list off my TBR, one way or another.
