Monthly TBR and Wrap Up

It's July and I am already eager to be in autumn. I am looking forward to spooky books, horror movies, and everything pumpkin spice. Summer has never really been my favourite and that feels extra true this year. 

Before sharing what I hope to read this month I have to recap June first.

The books that were on my list are:

Take Me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson (goodreads)
Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard (goodreads)

Plus I had some ebooks on my list:

Animal by Lisa Taddeo (goodreads)
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid (goodreads)
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston (goodreads)
Blackout by Multiple Authors (goodreads)
Survive the Night by Riley Sager (goodreads)
Darling by K Ancrum (goodreads)

Here is what I managed to read in June:

Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore (goodreads)
Blackout by Multiple Authors (goodreads)
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid (goodreads)
Survive the Night by Riley Sager (goodreads)
When No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole (goodreads)

I managed to get in five books this month. I am hoping for more this month. I will have a bit more time so that will hopefully turn into more reading time.
 
My #PopCultureResolution book for June was I Am Watching You by Teresa Discoll. The movie was Sinister. I reviewed the movie if you are interested in checking that out. The book did not come in from my library holds until the end of the month so I am reading it now.

Here is what I hope to read in July:


Movie Star by Lizzie Pepper by Hilary Liftin (goodreads)
Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney (goodreads)
I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll (goodreads)
Five Little Indians by Michelle Good (goodreads)

I also have some ebooks I am hoping to get to:





Animal by Lisa Taddeo (goodreads)
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston (goodreads)
Darling by K Ancrum (goodreads)
Isn't It Bromantic by Lyssa Kay Adams (goodreads)
If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy (goodreads)

My #PopCultureResolution picks for this month are Survive the Night by Riley Sager and Frailty. I have read (and loved) Survive the Night (and it is already reviewed). I am excited to check out Frailty though! 

Next up is an update on my two reading challenges:

July's pick for my '12 friends, 12 books' reading challenge is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller so I'll be getting to that at some point this month. I am almost done with The Miseduction of Cameron Post so expect an update next month.
