Well folks this is the 4th month of my plan to get a handle on my TBR. In addition to trying to get the oldest titles off my list, I’ve been valiantly trying to abstain from requesting anything on NetGalley or Edelweiss. I’m finding it very difficult as wonderful new titles continue to be featured on the blogs of my blogging friends. Not to mention some wonderful publishers who generously supply me with NetGalley widgets.
Here are the eight titles I plan to read in July
I MUST read the two titles I didn’t get to from June’s list
(I knew I had bitten off more than I could chew…)
PLUS the following titles:
“Sometimes I lie” by Alice Feeney (which I won from the author via a Twitter Giveaway)
“Mr Flood’s last resort” by Jess Kidd (an Atria Books title that I received via NetGalley)
and three summer/water related reads:
“The lido” by Libby Page (received from Simon & Schuster via NetGalley)
“Underwater breathing” by Cassandra Parkin (which I received directly from Legend Press)
“The last wave” by Gillian Best (which I received from House of Anansi Press via NetGalley)
and for a blog tour spot on August 1st… “The Cheesemaker’s House” by Jane Cable which I received via Rachel’s Random Resources Blog Tours
That’s it for July. Living at the cottage has its challenges for my reading progress. Lots of company, family time, and working in the garden cut my reading time drastically. I’m not complaining, but would really like to make some more progress on my TBR…
Here is a photo of my little family taken at the end of the beach in front of our cottage last summer.
and the view from our cottage living room window
Happy summer reading everyone!

Sounds like you’re in for a hectic month! 😉 I commend you on committing to clearing out your TBR, though – I’m doing the same thing, and it’s not as easy as it looks. Every single day I’m fighting the urge to pick up new releases that I’m seeing everywhere on Bookstagram and Twitter and other blogs… I deserve some kind of medal for all this temptation I’m resistin’ 😉 Keep it up!

Beautiful family and gorgeous beach front property. I’d give up a few books for that view as well, however, family time and enjoying the short summer is important. Have a wonderful July!
