Challenges

TBR Dwindle

I know what you’re thinking. Ha! Trust me I know but I am going to try and downsize my TBR. How am I going to do that? Easy! Alphabetical order by author’s last name. Now I won’t be able to get all the books on my TBR. I am going to do this with books I can get with KU or the ones I already own. The others that are out of my price range right now will be added to the buy when I have money pile. (Which is a big pile.) But this is how I plan to do it.

I have 541 books on my Goodreads TBR. This will be a year-long process. 365 days This challenge should be interesting. If you follow my Instagram I will also be keeping track there. This challenge is only for the 541 books. I cannot add books to my TBR. I can finish a series but only the books that were on my list can be counted. Let the fun begin.

The Forgotten Queen by Kortney Keisel

My edition: Kindle Unlimited
Pages: 424
Series: Desolation #4
Genre: Fantasy, Dystopia
Published: Sep. 27, 2021
Rating:

Synopsis:

She’s trying to remember. He’s trying to pretend.

Sydria Hasler is a blank slate. After a tragic accident, her images of the past have vanished. All she wants is to get her memory back and return home—wherever home is. But the more she rebuilds her past, the more she wants to fight for a future with King Marx. Too bad it’s all a sham.

King Marx McKane has never cared about anyone or anything, especially being king. When his father forces him to marry a mysterious woman, he starts taking things seriously. The only way out of his arranged marriage is to pretend that he’s falling in love with his wife. This charade might end up being the most reckless thing Marx has ever done. Is he willing to sacrifice his life and his kingdom to set Sydria free?

Can their fake relationship lead Sydria and Marx to their genuine selves, or will deception cost them their freedom? 

Review:

Fair warning there are spoilers if you haven’t read the first books of the series.

Everything personal to her was blank, not even a shred of a memory or a past.

If you have read the book before this then you know who Sydria is before the revelation that is in this book. Seran is still alive. The book starts nine months after the last book.

I think Seran and Marx are my favorite couple. I wonder which Kingdom is next. There are at least two or three books I think that are supposed to be next. I can’t wait until they come out.
