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.

    I really need to read The Assassins Blade but I keep putting it off. Sigh

      I can understand why. I think I just prefer the main story to these ones.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
