July 2021 TBR!

 

Hi! It’s a new month, so I thought I would tell you all what books I’m reading this month.

Physical Books

1-The Assassins Blade by Sarah J. Maas- 38 % done

These are short stories set in the Throne of Glass Universe and follow the main character of that series before you meet her in the main series. I am enjoying the stories, some more than others. At the time, I want to get back to the main series as well. I love the series so far, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the third book.

2-Hamilton and Peggy A Revolutionary Friendship by L. M. Elliott (reread)- 18% done

This is the last reread for my Hamilton project. When I read it a few years ago, I rated it four stars and commented on the pacing issues. I say a four- five-star rating this time because I’ve read other books that have similar pacing issues. I am enjoying the story and Peggy as a character just as much as I did the first time I read it.

3-With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo- 21% done

I’ve had this book on my tbr for years. I am loving this book and it in the running for my favorite books of the month already. I really enjoy Emoni as a character.

4-Everything Will Be Okay by Dana Perino-66% done

I started this non-fiction/ self-help book when it published in March. I don’t really read this genre, and so I need to take my time with it. This was on my TBR when I used to read at night, but I realized that reading at night doesn’t work well for me so I put it aside like The Assassins Blade. I am enjoying it and will keep the advice in the book in mind.

Ebooks

5-Call Me Athena A Girl from Detroit by Colby Cedar Smith ( E-Arc) -57% done

I started this book in the middle of last month. I grabbed it from Net Galley Read Now because it looked interesting. I had seen it before but went with Phoebe Unfired, so when it was still there I grabbed it. I am really loving the story and the duel timelines. The novel is in verse which is different for me, but I’m really enjoying it.

6-Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner 21% done

This was recommended to me by one of the admins of TBR and Beyond for a yearly challenge prompt. I am loving this so much and it’s so cute. I know the story might not be for everyone, but the characters are lovely and the plot is a mix of fun and serious.

7-Jo & Laurie by Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz- 14%

I got this around the time it came out last year and just never put it on my TBR until now. The book was slow to start, but the plot is picking up. I love Little Women, and so I wanted to see what the take on this was, and I have to say that the writers match the tone of all the characters in the original story.

8-Like A Love story by Abdi Nazemian- 22% done

This was a daily deal a few days ago, and I had it on my TBR for a while. The story is pretty heavy, but I also enjoy the interactions the characters have. My favorite things about the story so far are the characters and the New York Setting.

 9- Heartstopper Volume 2 by Alice Osserman

I have not really started this one yet. I read the first episode of episode three because I want to read the volume on Webtoon throughout the month.
