August TBR.

augusttbr

Hey!

My track record with monthly TBRs is never good, but I actually feel confident with my book choices for my TBR this month. I feel like it has a mix of a lot of different things, so I think it should be fairly easy to stick to it. Crossing my fingers though, because I swear I abandon my list every month or only read a couple from the list. Onto the books that I chose for my TBR…

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover – I’m already almost halfway through it and I really like it so far. I already knew immediately that I would be starting it on release day (yesterday) and that’s exactly what I did!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by JK Rowling – I want to read this right away, because I know everyone is reading it right now and I want to try not to get spoiled. The best solution to that is to just read the book as soon as possible.

Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige – I am so stoked that I was approved by Netgalley to read the eARC of Stealing Snow. I really enjoyed the Dorothy Must Die series so far, so I am excited to read Danielle’s new book!

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardguo – I previously mentioned how I made a list of series that I started and haven’t finished or caught up to the most current book in the series. I want to try to incorporate them into my reading the rest of the year, so I can try to finish and get caught up. So this month I am going to read Ruin and Rising.

With Malice by Eileen Cook – I’ve been seeing this book around a lot and I am dying to read it, so I couldn’t resist finally getting myself a copy. I am so stoked to read it. I’ve seen a lot of good things about it.

I am hoping that I can get through all of these books and even a few more. I feel extremely guilty with this TBR, because they are all new purchases (minus Stealing Snow and Ruin and Rising). I’m really trying to stick to the books that I own and stop buying books…it’s so difficult though, lol. I am going to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure this month (next weekend) to go to Harry Potter world! I am so stoked! I have about a three hour car ride there, so I should hopefully get in some reading on the way there and back! 😀

What is on your August TBR? Have you read any of these?

Hi!

I’ve been taking part in Maren’s (The Worn Bookmark) read my books challenge over on her blog, where I read the books that I already own versus only new books. I made a TBR jar of all the books I own (NOT including books I bought and will buy in 2016). My goal is to read 30 of my already owned books from that TBR jar aside from recent purchases.

# Books read in July: 5
# Books read year to date: 12/30

My Kind of Crazy by Robin Reul – REVIEW.
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Shattering Glass by Gail Giles
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

I have been doing really bad with this reading challenge this year, but in July I actually did really good! I was able to read five books toward this challenge. One (To Kill a Mockingbird) I started myself and finished it as an audiobook. I actually enjoyed all five of these books, so that was a huge plus as well! You can see more books in read in July in my recap post linked below. 🙂
