My August 2024 TBR is on the smaller side, however, this month is going to be busy and chaotic, so I don’t want to overwhelm myself. Reading these books will help to reduce my overall TBR. I am excited to read through these books and experience their stories and characters. I do have a small extra stack of books in case I get through all of these quickly.

August 2024 TBR
Kimi ni Todoke From Me To You: Soulmate Vol 2 by Karuho Shiina
With her jet-black hair, sinister smile, and silent demeanor, Sawako “Sadako” Kuronuma always had trouble fitting in during high school. But with help from her friends, her boyfriend Kazehaya, and even her rival-turned-friend Kurumi, Sawako came out of her shell. Now in college, Sawako and Kurumi have become incredibly close, but Kurumi longs for a romance of her own.
In college, Kurumi thinks she’s found her soulmate in Sawako, her rival-turned-best-friend from high school. After Kurumi survives a frightening encounter with a stalker, Sawako’s cousin Eiji supports her in just the ways she needs—he even stays the night at Kurumi’s place. When morning comes, Kurumi doesn’t want him to leave. Has she gone from fiercely independent to desperately needy?
Edge of Darkness by Kyla Stone
Liam and Hannah continue their dangerous journey, but their every step is dogged by a deadly adversary. Hunted and exhausted, will they have what it takes to get home?
In Fall Creek, Noah struggles to protect his son and his friends. With the town running out of food and fuel, and the cold as brutal as ever, they’re forced to make compromises that may place them in even greater danger…
When the country goes dark, ordinary people find themselves facing the end of the world as they know it. With society collapsing before their eyes, they’ll have to risk everything to protect their home and the people they love.
Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can’t get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive.
They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.
Carl still has no pants.
They call it Dungeon Crawler World. For Carl and Donut, it’s anything but a game.
Beware of Chicken by Casualfarmer
A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about . . . farming????
Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body.
Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here.
Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster. I’m not used to seeing a chicken move with such grace . . . but Qi makes everything kind of wonky, so it’s probably fine.
Instead of a lifetime of battle, my biggest concerns are building a house, the size of my harvest, and the way the girl from the nearby village glares at me when I tease her.
A slow, simple, fulfilling life in a place where nothing exciting or out of the ordinary ever happens . . . right?
Domestication by Seth Ring
A world on the precipice of the apocalypse. A secret forged in the flames of war. A chance to start over.
For John Sutton, only one of those three things matters.
Retired from a decade of brutal war, he wants nothing more than a quiet pastoral life while he does his best to stem the steady increase of his Doom Points before they hit 100, signaling the start of the end.
He’s been given a small farm on the outskirts of the empire as a thanks for his service, but no matter how far he travels, it’s impossible to escape the war’s devastating effects on the world.
Bandits, suspicious townsfolk, a mysterious pair of siblings, and a secret that lurks in the mountains all threaten John’s peace. It will take all of his considerable power to keep from burning everything to the ground.
I hope you enjoyed my August 2024 TBR. What books are you planning to read this month?
Really great recommendations!
Thank you.
Beware of Chicken sounds like fun!
It certainly sounds like an interesting premise.
Love these recommendations, thanks for sharing!
I hope it inspired you to check out some of these books.
Not me over here browsing knowing I don’t need to add anything else to my TBR pile.
I completely understand that feeling! My TBR always grows faster than I can keep up with it.
