It’s May 1, which begins the month long Wyrd & Wonder fantasy celebration event!

This month I have a big goal to finish at least 10 of the 18 books on my Wyrd & Wonder TBR.

Yes, my TBR was 20 but I read two of them this weekend. Like a reading challenge warm-up. And since I’m terrible at following plans anyway, I’ll probably end up pulling other fantasy books off my shelf and read those instead of the TBR.

But I digress.

To finish 10 books in 31 days a big goal for two reasons. First, my reading has been sporadic this year. I’ve been up and down, suffering through reading slumps over and over. I went over two months without picking up a physical book. That’s unheard of for me.

Second, I hadn’t read a fantasy in three months (before this past weekend) and that book I read waaaaay back in January was an urban fantasy romance. So I consider that fantasy-light. The last true fantasy book I read, Witch King by Martha Wells, was back in mid-December.

I have never gone this long without reading fantasy. It’s almost like I don’t recognize myself.

But all that changes this month!

I will kick the month off with The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young.

Then I might dive into Among Thieves by M.J. Kuhn, but we’ll see where I go next.

(Check my Wyrd & Wonder TBR page to keep track of what I’ve read.)

I also have all four Fantastic 5 posts ready to go. I spent most of the weekend writing and editing these posts so I could focus on reading, reading, reading. So check back each Sunday to see which Fantastic 5 I picked for my comfort reads (5 May); reads outside my comfort zone (12 May); characters in their comfort zone (19 May); and my favorite cozy fantasies (26 May).
