August 2020 TBR ft. ARC August

fangirlfury5 Comments

I go in spurts of sharing my monthly to-be-read piles, mainly because I’m such a big mood reader and I tend to read more than what I list on my published TBRs – including this August TBR. I have a few books on hold from the library, so what I actually read will largely revolve around what books I’m able to get. I already have a few books out from the library that I need or want to finish – although my library is actually extending due dates past the usual 2 week deadline. With the fall publishing season right around the corner, I also have a few books that I need to read for review. I am really excited to be once again participating in ARC August, an annual readathon hosted by Octavia and Shelley of Read. Sleep. Repeat. This TBR will be split into my ‘regular’ TBR and my TBR for ARC August. 

Library & Owned Books TBR

The Heir Affair ( The Royal We #2) by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan – After rereading The Royal We last week, I couldn’t wait any longer to read the sequel and I decided to checkout a digital copy from the library. I’ve had a hold for a physical copy of The Heir Affair for over a month now, but I think my country library system is a little behind on receiving new releases. I’m currently reading this one & loving it so far – if my physical copy does come in soon enough, I’ll probably transition to the digital to physical copy… but let’s be honest, I’ll probably will be finished reading it by then!

The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare – I hauled The Duchess Deal in last’s month library haul, so I won’t go into too much detail. I do plan on reading this one ASAP, although it’s not due until September. I took a little break from romance in the second half of July, but I know I’ll be ready to jump back in ASAP.

The Worst Man by Mia Sosa – The Worst Man was also part of my July library haul, but I know once I’m really back into the romance reading mood, this will be one of the first books I pick up!

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover – After really enjoying Verity last month, I’ve decided to give Colleen Hoover’s another go, starting with Regretting You. So many of my friends have loved this one and it seems like a really great blend of YA and adult romance. Read More »

BOOKS, NETFLIX, & LOVER: August 2019 Wrap Up

The end of August means the end of two of my favorite things: summer and summer reading. As much as I love this season, including all of the reading time, I am really happy to be back at school and get back into my (hectic) routine. I’m content with the amount of books I read this month, considering that I really didn’t read as much as I had been earlier in the summer, in light of the start of school

ARC AUGUST & MORE: August 2019 TBR

fangirlfury5 Comments

Since I read more in the summer than any other time in the year, I love creating TBRs during this season. Making my August TBR is especially exciting because I will be participating in ARC August for the second time! ARC August is hosted by Octavia and Shelley of Read.Sleep.Repeat. The purpose of this month-long reading challenge is to tackle as many ARCs or books for review as possible, since the fall is always packed with new releases. More information can be found at Read. Sleep. Repeat. but in short:

  • anyone (including non-bloggers) can participate
  • both released and unreleased, physical, audio, and e- ARCs count

My goal is to try to read as many of my Book Expo ARCs and books I’ve been sent for review as possible, since school starts up again at the end of this month, while also reading some more from the library & my bookshelves and leftovers from my July TBR. Like always, I’ll more than likely pick up a few more books than what’s planned below.

ARCs

American Royals by Katherine McGee- Does anyone else hold off on reading books because they’re just so excited to read them? This is the case for me with one of my most anticipated books of the year, American Royals! This book following the American royal family (imagine the US had a monarchy and not a democracy) has been receiving so much hype lately that I can’t hold off on reading it for much longer.

A Match Made in Mehendi by Nandini Bajpai- Matchmaking has become a rising and one of my favorite tropes in YA that I’m excited to dive back into with A Match Made in Mehendi. 

The Revolution of Birdie Randolph by Brandy Colbert- Brandy Colbert is another hyped author that I have not yet read. The Revolution of Birdie Randolph has been slated as one of the best books of the fall, so I’m extra excited to jump in.

The Library of Lost Things by Laura Taylor Namey- Mention a bookstore and I’m there. Mention a book about a character who works in a bookstore and I’ll be in a bookstore buying said book.

Throw Like a Girl by Sarah Henning- I love sports YA books—blame it on being obsessed with Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally back in my early YA days. I know people love Sarah Henning’s Sea Witch (also my physical TBR!) so I’m excited to see her contemporary take.
