TBR Spotlight

Welcome to TBR spotlight,where I share a book I’m very excited to get to soon!  Because let’s face it. Just because I haven’t read a book yet… doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk about it!

This week’s spotlight pick is….

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don’t quite seem to be working. But tonight is different. Tonight, when he wakes, there’s a visitor at his window. It’s ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth.

Patrick Ness takes the final idea of the late, award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd and weaves an extraordinary and heartbreaking tale of mischief, healing and above all, the courage it takes to survive.


This is another one of those books that I’ve had on my shelves since it came out. Maybe 1 or two years later. Definitely before it was made into a movie. And to be fair, it has been in a bin for nearly 5 years, but I finally got my shelves built and am having the time of my life shelving books! The best part is coming across books I was so excited about and have completly forgotten! It’s like the excitement and anticipation of a great read is brand new, and it’s exactly what I felt when I unboxed this gem.

It’s also one of those books where you know it will wreck you in the best way, so you put it off just a little longer. I just saw one of my favorite book influencers finish this the other day, and it’s made me want to push it to the top of the tbr.

Have you read this one yet? Is it on your TBR
