Monthly TBR – July 2024
Given we’re about a third of the way into July, I’m overdue sharing my monthly TBR, no?
In today’s post I have a great range of books to share that I plan for read in the next few weeks. You’ll have seen a good few of them before as they are carryovers. At the same time, I have a few new faces too, so let’s get stuck in!
Fixed Reads
You Coach You
My last current read and carryover is You Coach You by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis.
As of this monthly TBR I have actually just finished this audiobook this morning. However, I spent at least a couple of hours this month getting to that point so it’s going on this TBR to mark that progress effort.
I’ve enjoyed this audio so much and see the value in its content that I’ve just ordered a paperback copy to refer back to and re-read in future!
Master of Sorrows
Master of Sorrows is on yet another monthly TBR… but not as a non-starter this time!
I’ve been trying to read the book since February and I finally started it last month. It is, however, a current read so it makes it onto July’s monthly TBR as a carryover. Can I say, may it please be the last?!
I’m about halfway through the book, so there’s no reason I won’t be completing this soon!
Obsidio
Another carryover from my June TBR is Obsidio by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman.
I started this last book in the Illuminae files trilogy last month after accidentally leaving Master of Sorrows at work. It’s been a refreshing change to read a mixed media book again! It’ll also be even better to be able to mark this series as complete once I’ve finished it. I’ll be sad to see it end, but there is another sci-fi series they’ve co-written I could pick up…
As of this post, I’m around a third of the way into the book. It’s a quick read, so again, I expect to finish it before long.
Mood Reads
The Other People
The only book on my June TBR I didn’t get to is The Other People by C.J. Tudor. It’s mum’s favourite book of hers so far, so I’m really looking forward to reading it this month instead.
I haven’t picked up a mystery novel at all this year, so it will make a refreshing change! I’ve enjoyed two of C.J. Tudor’s books already, so I have high hopes for this one!
Defiant
With my Mid Year Check In and Summer TBR posts still fresh in my mind, I’m adding a book to this monthly TBR that will earn me another series completion.
Defiant is the last book in Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward series. Honestly, I’ll be sad to get to the end of it, but I also want to see how Spensa’s story ends. For a series to which I’m not the target demographic, I’m getting on with it really well. Equally, I haven’t met a Sanderson book I’ve disliked…
Let’s hope I’ve met jinxed it!
The Power of Habit
Another selection with my 2024 reading goals in mind is a recent acquisition. The Power of Habit is both a non-fiction book and will, with any luck, help towards my blogging goal of using social media more!
In theory this is a win-win read, but we’ll see how that works out in practice.
Summary
July’s monthly TBR reflects a reading month in which I plan to catch up with ongoing reads. However, there are also a couple of new books I’m introducing here. I’m not planning a long list that I think is unachievable, so here’s to a productive month!
Have you read any of the books on this monthly TBR? Do you have any tips on how I can get better at making social media a habit?
