July Wrap Up & August TBR

So, I read entirely too much in July. Like genuinely. Im’ not exactly sure what happened, but I did some serious series devouring in two specific series and I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to talk about certain books that I have more to say than others so don’t be surprised if you see random extra content from me in the coming days that aren’t ARC reviews or Taylor Swift themed. On the other hand… It’s definitely possible you will see nothing from me because sometimes I just don’t follow through with my ideas. But anyway, let’s get to the too many books I read in July, shall we?

Covers of The Art of Scandal by Regina Black, The Deja Glitch by Holly James, Congratulations, The Best is Over by R. Eric Thomas, Marry Me by Midnight by Felicia Grossman, The Witch is Back by Sophie H. Morgan, Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo, Between Us by Mhairi McFarlane, Codename Charming by Lucy Parker, Home for the Challah Days by Jennfier Wilck, Knockout by Sarah MacLean, The Blonde Identity by Ally Carter, The Secret to a Southern Wedding by Synithia Williams, Shucked by Kate Canterbary, and Glimmers of You by Catherine Cowles

So the above are all of the August releases I really want to read, but we shall see how many I actually get to. Then I’m participating in the Fall semester of Orillium (G from Book Roast’s Magical Readathon) and I have the following prompts I have to fulfill:

  • Book Without Magic
  • Audiobook
  • Read without touching the floor/ground
  • Red Cover
  • Read from a Finished Series
  • Word in Title from the last song you listened to
  • Horror Book
  • Clothing on the Cover
  • Booksellers Recommendation
  • Lily on Cover/title/author’s name
  • Books Set in the Future
  • Random Tarot Generator (The Empress)

I think I’ll be able to accomplish many of these with the August releases I’m trying to get to, with, okay, well, several exceptions really. I think for a horror book, I’m either going to do Siren Queen or Our Wives Under the Sea. Anyway, if you have any recommendations for any of these books, please let me know!
