#AYearAThon [July TBR]

Each first full week of the month, a #AYearAThon readathon is held and there are themes and challenges for each month. In the month of July, the theme is TBR CATCH-UP with the challenge of reading a trilogy. It runs from July 2 to 8.

I have an open-ended TBR where I would like to finish any of the following (trilogies are noted with an asterisk):



Updated on 7/5: I read a Netgalley book, The Delphi Effect, and also finished Unwind so far this week. I think I'm going to pick Heart of Iron up next...or Harry Potter and the Chamber of the Secrets.

Total books finished: 2
Total pages read: 379 + 335 = 741

July Monthly TBR & Challenge Updates


I started to get a little slumpy in June but I took it a little easy and picked up some easier reads and I think I'll be okay. I finished 6 books in June and DNF'd 1 but I will most likely pick it back up on audio later in the year to finish. In July, I want to read two of my upcoming Netgalley books and then I will be working on my OWLs in preparation for NEWTS in August. I am going to try and read from past TBRs and books that I have received in the later part of 2017 and in 2018.

My Tentative TBR for July:
  • Beast: A Tale of Love and Revenge by Lisa Jensen
  • #MURDERTRENDING by Gretchen McNeil
