July TBR! [2018]

Hello everyone! I’m pretty excited about this months TBR since I finally have time to read without any interruptions! No school or exams,  just time to read and watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine! Sounds like a pretty legit summer to me. 😂

TO KILL A KINGDOM by Alexandra Christo

I’m a little too excited for this one especially since everyone in the blogging community has been telling me how awesome this book is! It’s a standalone book loosely based on The Little Mermaid, and I think it’ll be a great summer read! Now I’m just waiting for it to arrive in the mail!

MY LADY JANE by Cynthia Hand

I’ve been meaning to read this book for quite some time, and I’m really looking forward to getting to it this month! From what I’m hearing, it’s a retelling of Lady Jane Grey, but a comical version of it. It sounds like such a fun read, and I’m always in the mood for books like this!

THE BONE WITCH by Rin Chupeco

My current read! I told myself I would finish this in one day, but that clearly hasn’t happened since I’m including this in my list…This was actually kind of an impulse buy for me, I just saw it at my bookstore and grabbed it, but I’m glad I started reading it straight away instead of letting it sit on my shelf forever! Initial thoughts…I’m really hooked onto the story!

CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE by Cassandra Clare

I’m almost positive this has been on every single TBR I’ve had so far this year…which is a little embarrassing. I’m only now realizing that Queen of Air and Darkness comes out relatively soon (not really but whatever) and I know it’ll take me a good chunk of time to get through the remaining 3 books (THEY ARE MASSIVE).

ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I don’t know why I’ve been wanting to reread this again….even though I’ve already read it 4 TIMES. I might have a little problem. I just love this first book so much, and hopefully it’ll give me motivation to finish Gemina. (It probably won’t because I love Kady and Ezra too much). A more reasonable strategy would be to just read Gemina, without rereading Illuminae so I won’t be that hung up on the old characters but I probably won’t do that because I’m dumb. 🤷‍♀️

I’m feeling pretty confident that I’ll be able to get through these 5 books this month, and I really need to get back to reading since I’m terribly behind on my goodreads challenge.

I find that it’s so hard to start reading again after taking a 2 month break! I just have zero motivation whatsoever, but reading The Bone Witch has been helping a lot!

Thanks for reading!
