#5OnMyTBR

#5OnMyTBR is a weekly meme hosted by E. @Local Bee Hunter’s Nook and you can learn more about it in her announcement post. #5OnMyTBR takes place every Monday when we post about 5 books on our TBR. You can find each week’s prompts on here or come up with your own.

Today’s prompt is Sea & Seaside.

I wanted to get in some proper research here and give my readers some books that would feature some real seaside action and be upcoming 2021 new releases as well, so this process got as painstaking as I expected it to be! Haha! I hope you guys find some new books to add to your TBRs!
