let's choose my august tbr!! | end of summer reads, readathons, so many book club books🍀

I really liked Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, so I've been wanting to read this one for a while, and again this is on my 2026 TBR, so I'd like to knock another book off of that TBR.

Which, I read Carmilla a couple years ago. I didn't like love it, but I feel like I have the potential to really, really love like a retelling of it, where it actually like leans more into those like sapphic undertones that are in the story.

I read like four or five of these, maybe, so I have like 10 left. So, that feels super doable for August. Will I actually like remember to read these? I don't know, but I'm going to try to, cuz I would like to finish this up because I generally like the ones that I had read so far.

But like everybody else, I read this when I was initially in middle school and I loved this at the time.

I loved Jamaica Inn, which I read a couple of months ago, so I've been really excited to read some more from Daphne du Maurier, and I'm just intrigued by this one.

I'm about 40 pages into it and I'm really loving it so far.
