Good morning, y’all! Well, we have reached April. And that means we have reached the end of the first 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. Every quarter, I post a seasonal TBR and share it over 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 Winter 2024 TBR Update!

That concludes my Winter 2024 TBR Update. I must say, reading 7 out of 10 feels pretty good for me. Especially as I hit a reading slump at the end of January. Have you read any of these books? What books did you read in the first quarter of 2024? What books are on your TBR for the second quarter of 2024?
