Help Me Tackle My TBR! πŸ˜±πŸ“š✨

Yay! It’s Furrowed Middlebrow Friday! πŸ₯³πŸ’œ

Books, plus some of the toys from my vintage Fisher Price collection!

Which Dean Street Press Furrowed Middlebrow book should I read in June? πŸ€” 

Love my disco ball table and plant pot! Thanks to Home Goods & TJs!

First, Happy May! May is my absolutely my FAV month of the year (followed closely by October) ☺️πŸ’•

My little tulip garden!

I love May because: 😊🌸🌼🌿🌱

  • My Birthday! (I'll be 52 this year...but I feel 32!)
  • My Daughter, Rose's Birthday! (she turned 32 this year 😱)
  • Lilacs and Tulips (I have a lovely little 4' x 4' tulip garden...when the blooms don't get eaten by our resident Groundhog Mamma) 
  • Beautiful Weather (sunshiny days, cool nights, breezes!)
  • Bird Song (love to wake up to singing outside our bedroom window!)
  • Mother's Day (Ian took me to a bookstore, coffee shop and out to lunch and the "kids" gave me the sweetest cards!)
  • Prepping My Garden (also, putting out our outdoor furniture on the patio with canopy!)
  • The Start of Spring Reading (including all of the books I put aside that have new beginnings, gardening, and/or Spring as a theme)

Sweet smelling lilacs from my New Hampshire garden...my fav!

Anyway back to BOOKS!!!

Here is my current DSP Furrowed Middlebrow collection...though, not including my lovely Moray Dalton books (half of which were gifted to me by my Bestie, Caro of @carosbookcase!)

Books I've Read:

(not including my 𝘌𝘭π˜ͺ𝘻𝘒𝘣𝘦𝘡𝘩 𝘍𝘒π˜ͺ𝘳 books, which I only have on my Kindle at the moment 😭)

Sorry about the dusty arcade room carpet! I should have vacuumed first - lol!
 
My TBR:

NOTE—I also have a bunch of other e-book titles on my Kindle. So, I'll need to sort those out next! 

My DSP Furrowed Middlebrow TBR books on Ian's arcade room carpet!

So, Friends...it's time for you to comment below with which book you think I should read next! (I feel like I might be able to read them all by the end of the year. I hope!!)

Also, please tell me which of these authors AND which books are your favorites! 
 
Don’t forget to check out my Instagram post, too! (@babsbelovedbooks)

  1. A House in the Country is my favourite from the ones I've read on your tbr - and, indeed, one of my all-time favourite DSPs!

  2. Beautiful photos of your garden, Gina! So happy you're enjoying the Moray Daltons! I will have to give them a try eventually. I'm with Simon, I think A House in the Country is a great choice. I do love Margery Sharp, so The Foolish Gentlewoman would be my second choice. Though, if I recall correctly I found that one melancholy and frustrating at times.
