Books I Recently Added To My TBR | No Shelf Control

On The Shelf is a new series on my blog where I would list the latest additions to my TBR (To-Be-Read pile)— on NetGalley, Kindle, and my physical bookshelf. I thought this would be a fun idea because I add lots of new books to my TBR/wishlist, new books that I had not heard of yet, and I love seeing what books other readers have discovered recently. 

You can check out the first blog post of this series here

These days I’ve been wanting to read more non-fiction books, so for the first time ever (I think!), I will be featuring some non-fiction books on this blog!

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1)

by Rick Riordan

Goodreads

My sister as been hounding me about reading the Percy Jackson series ever since she started it years ago (I apologise for exposing you Ab, but this is probably the only books she’s read in years— including the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series lol.)

I think the only reason why I haven’t read it or added it to my tbr unit now is because I was never really into Greek Mythology (I was more of an Egyptian Mythology kind-of-girl); but, there’s a first time for everything!

Stay tuned for the April book haul post soon because there’s a little surprise in there lol.

The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy #1)

by S.A. Chakraborty 

Goodreads

I can’t remember where exactly I found this book— probably through a book recommendation list— but I do remember being so intrigued by the synopsis that I immediately added it to my Goodreads tbr.

Also, I’ve been on a fantasy book kick at the moment (if you can’t tell from my current reads)

Cannot wait to start another fantasy series!

We Were Liars (We Were Liars #1)

by E. Lockhart 

Goodreads

This one I’ve already read…years ago. I’m pretty sure I have the physical copy back in Manila. But I can’t remember what it was about or any specific detail about this book. However, I do remember really enjoying the book (so why can’t I remember anything? I don’t know, which is kind of concerning). I hope I end up loving this book on this technically re-read/first-time-read-because-I-don’t-remember-anything.

Also there’s prequel(I think) coming out soon so even more of a reason to read/re-read this book!

The Woman They Could Not Silence: One Woman, Her Incredible Fight for Freedom, and the Men Who Tried to Make Her Disappear

by Kate Moore

Goodreads

The title says it all.

Also I need to read more non-fiction. One of my reading goals for the year is to read at least 5 non-fiction books this year.

Book of Night

by Holly Black

Goodreads

I’ve read one of Holly Black’s books recently, Coldest Girl in Coldtown, and really enjoyed it. This is one of her latest releases, so I want to read more from this author. The synopsis seemed really intriguing (and it’s Adult Fantasy!), so I’m super excited too read more of her work.

  Oscar’s Red Carpet Dresses and Their Book Vibes | Reading Between the Lines
  I watched this year’s 95th Academy Awards Oscars live, and surprisingly enjoyed a lot of the looks that the celebrities turned up in.
