Hey guys, this is Abi here,
Welcome to the first TBR for the second half of the year- and for once it doesn't feel like the time has gotten away- it feels like, because of the heat, it feels like July weather.
I'm treating July as a catching up month. I want to finish all of the ongoing series' that I'm currently in the middle of, and start afresh in August. I'll be happy if I manage that.
So without further ado, here's my July TBR.
1. Global, by Eoin Colfer
I was originally going to have the
Clementine graphic novel trilogy in place here, but since we're already a week into July, I've already finished them.
I didn't even own Global a week ago, but I received it as an anniversary present in Lincoln on Saturday, and right now, I'm two books behind on my Goodreads Reading Challenge. So I'm calling in the big guns.
Global is a survival graphic novel, following two children in a climate crisis, who are just trying to find a stroke of luck- and survive at the same time. Produced from the award-winning team that created Illegal, comes another moving graphic novel about climate change- and what it takes to change your luck- for the better.
2. The Earthsea Quartet: The First Four Books, by Ursula K. Le Guin
I'm currently one story into this novel, and the plan for this is to read a story between the Series of Unfortunate Events novels'. As we all know, due to the screw up this book was for me back in June, this might not go to plan. Which is fine because, I'll be taking this book at my own pace, and taking all of it in.
I thought that the four stories within this novel was the be-all-and-end-all The Earthsea Quartet, but it turns out there's two more books after this. This changes nothing.
I know I'm going to love this award-winning, absolute legend of a series.
3. The Grim Grotto (A Series of Unfortunate Events #11), by Lemony Snicket
4. The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events #12), by Lemony Snicket
5. The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events #13), by Lemony Snicket
I really need to finish this series. End of. I'm convinced that The Grim Grotto is what's stopping me.
Once I get past that, it's just a big wrap up to the end- we find out about the sugar bowl, the potentially-alive adult, the last safe place, and what's going to happen in the end. It's high time I followed the Baudelaire orphans to the end of their rope, and their story as a whole.
And then I'll be re-watching the series again.
If I somehow manage to read all of those, and have some time left, I'm going to pick three books at random (that aren't brand new) and just pick the book I want to read the most.
That's highly unlikely though.
Okay1 Those are all the books I want to read this month. I really hope I manage to finish all of these, because I desperately need a clean slate in August.
Okay! I hope you have a wonderful evening and I'll see you all soon, with my review My Friends, by Fredrik Backman!
Byeeeee!
