Hey friends! Hey friends! It's me and Lana. Welcome back to my channel. You're all, you're all, you are all some flowers in the world full of weeds. Hey friends! Welcome back to my channel. It is me and Lana. For this video, I am doing my July TBR for you all. So, I picked out some books that I would like to get to in July. Warning, there are a lot. But only because I am also taking part in three, maybe four readathons. And so, I had to pick a lot of books to take part in those. The three readathons I'm for sure taking part of is Pop Culture Readathon, the Totally Spiesathon, and the Full Metal Readathon, which is run by Sarah from Novelsare Indipity. And I will leave links and stuff for all of those readathons down below so you can check them out. I'm not going to dive into all of the prompts and stuff because I don't want this video to be too long. So, I'm just going to tell you the overall books and each book is definitely going to fit a prompt for each of these readathons. The fourth readathon that I will probably be taking part in, I'm still on the fence about, is the Reading Rush. I'm editing a lot of here, so I am actually taking part in the Reading Rush. I wasn't sure if I was going to, and then literally the day I started editing this is when I was asked to do some Reading Rush prints. So, I guess I'm taking part now. That's fun. Alright, back to the video. Moving on, I'm going to go ahead and get into the books that I will be reading or trying to read. So, the first book I have here is A Torch Against the Night by Salva Teher. This is the second book in the Inempran Ashes series. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to get to this, especially with the way that book one ended. I am just looking forward to see what happens in book two, because I know it's probably going to blow my mind and make me anxious and make me cry, and I'm just going to be like, not my babies, basically. So, yeah, I'm just super, super excited to get to this. The next book I have is The Graphic Novel of the Lightning Thief by Rick Reardon. So, I tried to read the original version of the first book, because I bought the box set, but I couldn't get to it in time. And so, I think what I'm just going to do is I'm going to read The Graphic Novels instead of trying to reread that book. This will just count as my reread, and then I'll move on to the next book in the series, because I do want to continue on that series. I just don't remember everything. So, yeah. The next book I have is a book on my Summer TBR as well, and that is One Dark Throne by Kendara Blake. This is the second book in the Three Dark Crown series. I'm really looking forward to getting into this one as well, because the way the first book ended was also very surprising. So, I would love to get more details on what's going to happen next, and how certain things are going to play out from the first book, and just, yeah, I'm just excited. The next book I have is Pride by Ebe Zaboy. This is an arc I received a couple years ago when it first came out, and I still have not read it, as you can see. But I really do want to get to this. It's basically a retelling of Pride and Pride is, but obviously it's black, and it deals with gentrification, and just all of that stuff. So, I'm really excited to get to this one, an arc of more than maybe by Aaron Han. This actually comes out in July, so I have definitely want to read it this month if I can. I am just super excited to have this. This sounds like it's going to be really interesting. I loved Aaron Han's first book, so I think I'm going to enjoy this one as well. So, I will probably try and read this sooner rather than later. Next book is Heart in a Body in the World by Deb Kletty. I've heard good things about this, though I realize I don't know what it's about. Like, even reading the synopsis, I don't know what it's about. So, I'm just going to go in kind of blind. It seems like it's a really touching contemporary, and it deals with maybe some mental health issues. So, I'm really looking forward to see if I like this, if it's going to live up to the hype that I have in my head. We'll see. The next book I have is I want to be where you are by Christina Forrest. I received this as a gift, I think, from Allie with Books, and I've been really wanting to get to this, and it just sounds so good, and the cover is adorable to me, and so I feel like now's a good time to definitely pick it up. The next book is Get a Life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert. I am starting to try and get into romance more. I figured this would be a good one to pick up because I've heard everybody rave about it, and see it was good, and so I would really love to check it out. Plus, I've never run a Talia Hibbert book, and a lot of people rave about her books. So, I figured this would probably be a good place to start and see if I enjoy it, and yeah, I'm really excited to get this to. I might read this one soon rather than later as well. The next book is Her Royal Highness Barucho Huckins. This is the companion novel to Prince Charming, and it's based in the same world as that first book. It just follows Flora and Millie. Flora is the sister-in-law of Daisy from the first book. The next book I have is Annicate by Jenny Lee. I've been really wanting to get to this because it is said to be a retelling of Anna Karinina, but obviously it's modern day and takes place in New York City. And it also gives off the vibes of Gossip Girl. I've heard a lot of people describe it in that way, though it is diverse because the main character is Asian. So, I'm definitely excited to dive into this one. Next book I have is Color Me In by Natasha Diaz. I've been trying to get to this book for like two years since it's come out, and I really, really want to get to it this summer because it does sound like it's going to be really good. And I feel like it's something I'm going to be able to relate to being that I mixed and the main character of this story is mixed as well. So, hopefully I can pick it up. Almost done, I promise. The next book I have is House of Earth and Blood by Sarah Jamass. I would love to get to this summer, especially this month. It is a chunky one, so I don't know what's going to happen. I've only read Throne of Glass by Sarah Jamass, so I'm not really sure how I'm going to feel about this. I don't really really dive into adult fantasies, so that's making me even more unsure about how I'm going to feel about this. But I have heard good things about it, and I'm hoping that I'll like it and that it'll be just as interesting as everybody has made it out to be. But again, we'll see. The last book, the last book that I have on this list for my TBR and just for those readathons in general is Arch-NABs by Marissa Meyer. This is the second novel in the Renegades trilogy. I have been looking forward to this for a minute because I read the first one in the book. The first one was so good, and it ended, and that ending was so good, and so I'm excited to see what happens in this one as well. It just happens to Nova and Adrian, and I just want them to have good things in life, but I know it's going to be a minute before that happens probably. But I can still dream, okay? So that is my July TBR. These are all the books I'm going to be trying to read this month. These are all the books that are going to be used for all of the readathons that I mentioned. I didn't want to go through all of those readathons individually because it's a lot of prompts and a lot of talking, and I don't want this video to be super duper long because I don't. But I'm kind of glad with these books. There's diversity in it, there's some diverse others in here, and there's some sequels in here, which I rarely read, so I'm hoping I actually followed through and get to those. And yeah, I'm just super duper excited to read all of these. So if you like the video, please like it down below. If you have any comments, questions, concerns on any of the books I mentioned, whether you've read them, whether you like them, whether you want to read them, please let me know down below. If you are not good at commenting, I'm going to go ahead and say, leave me an emoji down below. I'm still being the idea for my friend Sylvia, from Wish for a Moment. It could be a hard emoji, it could be a cake emoji, it could be anything you want, just leave it if you are not good with words and commenting and all that kind of stuff.
