Hi everybody, it is Julie, welcome back to Pages and Pens.Today I am here with my August
TBR. I am filming this really early because I feel confident that this is going to be
my TBR for the month of August but anything that I don't finish in the month of July I'll
probably roll over. So today is the 18th of July and I'm pre-filming because I have time.
So, I will be participating in another month long reading challenge. I learned about this
readathon from ACourtofbooksandlove on Instagram and I will everyone linked down below because
she started it with a few other people. This one is called the ReadAThin basically because
everybody mispells ReadAThon and it ends up being ReadAThin and it started off as a joke.
But, it's also to thin out your TBR. So, this is to read things that you already have at
your house, on your shelves, and I have made a promise to myself to go on a no buy until
at least September. I'm hoping to extend it but at least September. So, this is the perfect
readathon for me because it means that these are all books that I already have on my shelves,
I'm not going to the library, I'm reading only things in my house already. Let's go
over what I'm reading. There are 18 challenges they would like you to complete 6 of the challenges
with at least 3 books but you can multi-task. So, you can use one book for more than one
challenge. So really 3 books, 6 tasks, and there's 18 total to pick from. But it's going
to be kind of like the emojiathon and I'm going to fit books in where I can, read what
I want to anyway, and then find a place for them to go. I'm pretty excited about all of
these books so I feel like this is going to be pretty close to what my TBR ends up being.
There is another readathon which is a middle grade readathon that is, um, one one of the
people that follows me, Donald. He is creating that.I will have information about that listed
down below once I have it. But I believe that's a week in August, either the 2nd or 3rd week
of August and it's all middle grade books. I have one middle grade book in this so I
will read that...I will read that book on that week...whenever that week falls. Let's
just jump right into it because I gots all the books. The first one is a 2017 release
and I'm cheating a little bit. I will be reading A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers.
This is the follow up to The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet which I loved so so much.
This is a 2017 paperback release. So it was released in 2016 but the paperback edition,
which is the edition I have, was not released until 2017. So, I'm counting this as my 2017
release because I make the rules here, it's my channel. So I will be reading this because
I definitely want to see what's going on with that series. The next one is to read a book
that is the same color or similar as your birthstone. My birthstone is a sapphire I
was born in September. So it is blue and for that I will be reading Our Dark Duet by V.E.
Schwabb or Victoria Schwabb and I um loved This Savage Song...it's up there on my shelves...and
I cannot wait to read this.It is a duology so this is the last book fo that series. I'm
scared. I'm like nervous about it. Cause I just want my babies to be okay but I'm really
excited about it so I will be getting to that. Then we have read a diverse book and for that
I am going to double down on this because Becky Chambers writes incredibly diverse books
and I know that this is going to be just as diverse as The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet.
So, this one counts for that. Read a book where the title or the authors name starts
with the first letter as your name. So for that I will be reading a book that Skyhorse
Publishing sent me. A lot of these are gonna also end up in a haul at some point, guys.
Like almost all of these are recently hauled but I haven't done the haul yet. So, you'll
see them at some point. But Skyhorse Publishing sent me The Next Together by Lauren James.
James, Julie, you know. And I'm really excited about this one. This one is about two souls
that find each other across like lifetimes. So it spans centuries and century after century
these two souls find each other. I don't know much more than that about it but I'm really
excited to get to this. I've seen this one around a little bit but I haven't heard it
talked about too much. I haven't really, I haven't seen any reviews for it. So I'm excited
to give this one a read against they sent it to me so I'd like to get to it at some
point so I can give them my thoughts on it. Find a book that is related to your favorite
emoji. My favorite emoji, the one that I use all the time, is the purple heart because
purple hair. So, for that I will be (sings) reading. I don't know what I said. I have
a lot of contemporaries on here so really like anything could count I guess. But I will
say On the Fence by Kasie West. This is a contemporary, it's a love story I am sure
because it's Kasie West. This one I got on Book Outlet and I'm not a huge fan of Kasie
West, this one may be my deciding factor on whether or not I continue on with her books.
But I'll be reading this for the month because I think it will be a really quick read for
me. Read a book starting with one of the letter of TBR so T, B, or R. Twisted Palace, T, TBR,
To Be Read,Twisted. This is the third book of The Royals series by Erin Watt. I read
the first two over vacation the first week of July and I really want to finish this series.
So, I will be reading this one in August and I'm stoked about this one. Not gonna lie.
Then we have read a book with a summer themed cover. For that again I am going with Kasie
West because it's a sunset, it's on a dock, there's water in the background. Also, on
this is number 12, the 12th challenge is read a book with water on the cover...I'll be using
this one as well. So that one's definitely down for a few challenges. Then read a book
with warm colors on the cover, red, orange, yellow. For that, I will be reading TheGirl
Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catheryn M Valente. I've
heard good things about this, this is my middle grade read so I will be reading this during
the middle-grade challenge...whatever week that might be. Again, I will have that linked
when Donald lets me know the details on that, I'll have it linked down below. I think I've
heard decent things about this book.I know it's more than one book but I don't know how
many. There's really cute illustrations in here, too, so I feel like this will be another
easy read for me and a nice quick one. Start and finish a series. Are you stinking kidding
me? A lot of the books that I will be reading are the end to a series so I'm trying to wrap
up a lot of series this month. Our Dark Duet finished up a series. Twisted Palace finishes
a series. A Closed and Common Orbit finishes a series. Um, I have other books on my TBR
that you can't see that finish series. So, I won't be starting one and finishing one
but I will be finishing a whole bunch. Read a book in 24 hours. For that I will be reading
Sweep, a Book of Shadows by Cate Teirnan. I believe this is a series but this is like
a super tiny book and the font is rather large so I feel like I can read this pretty quickly.
So, I will be reading that for my 24 hour book. Then read a new to you author. A new
to you author is A. R. Torre and it's The Girl in 6e. I don't know why but I'm feeling
the thrillers and I wanna read this really really badly. I'm actually pushing for this
to be buddy read group for Java &the Librarians. I don't know upon filming this if it is or
not but regardless I'm reading this in August. This will either be the buddy read for Java
&the Librarians or I'm just reading it regardless. Small caveat if this isn't for Java &the Librarians
I will be adding another book to this TBR that will be for the Java & the Librarians
book club. Um, I will also have whatever book my Patreon subscribers vote for um I want
to finish out a series so there's a whole bunch of series that the Patreon people can
vote for in a poll for which series that'd like to see me finish. Then I will finish
that series. Now, some of those already show up on the TBR because they're goals of mine
in general but they get to pick which one they want me to read the most and then that
one will be one that I do an official review on as well. And then a book set in summer,
again On The Fence cause I don't know. Buddy read a book, again, whatever Java & the Librarians
uses is what I will be buddy reading. I don't know what it is yet. I'm hoping it's The Girl
in 6E but if it's not it will be something else. Read a book that is recommended to you
highly by somebody in the booktube community. And for that I was reading on my Nook, I have
the Stage Dive series. And, I read books 1 & 2 in physical copy and the other ones are
on here. I have the prologue for the next one which I believe is Lead. So, I will be
reading Lead next and then going into the 4th one. So, I have the third and the fourth
one also on my ereader. So, I will be reading the Stage Dive series because Chelsea from
ChelseaDolling Reads told me I had and she was right. Read a guilty pleasure read. And
for that you guys know it's going to be my Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr. This
is Radiant Shadows, this is the fourth book and I need to read the fourth book so I can
get to the fifth book which is the last one. And it's the only one I haven't read yet,
I haven't read the fifth. I have read this. So, I am going to jump right into this series.
I really want to finish this series. So, I may read both of the uh remaining books. I'm
not sure. We'll see. Oooh! This was my summer book. I was wrong. This is Crazy Hot. This
is a Beach Lane novel by Melissa De La Cruz. And I'm going to read the third book in July
at some point, I don't know when but I will finish the third one. If not the third and
the fourth one will be August because I want to finish the series out. Guys, I'm telling
you, I'm wrapping up a ton of series. I don't want these left open at the end of the year.
So, I'm wrapping them up. Read an adult or new adult book. For that it's The Girl in
6E, again. And then read a book that is outside of my favorite genre, The Girl in 6E is a
thriller that's not my preferred genre. I don't know where I fit this one in. Maybe
this one was for finishing a series? Even though almost all of these finish a series,
this one will also finish a series. This is Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor
and it's a hunker butI want to finish this series soon. I don't know if it will happen
in August but I'm going to at least try. I think a lot of these books that I picked so
far are going to be really quick reads and I think this will probably be my most intimidating
one. Cause the rest I will probably fly through. So, we'll see. Hopefully, I can get to that
one. But that's all my books for August. I am really really excited about all these books.
I'm excited to be reading my bookshelf. I'm excited to not be bringing in more books and
be finishing up series and wrapped up and done with. I would like to do series reviews
on all of these. When I'm reading a series it doesn't make sense for me to do individual
reviews on each book. I would rather do a series wrap up. So, once I finish out these
series I will be doing series wrap ups on all of these. I'm actually going to stop this
video and film a review for a book. So, that is it for my August TBR. If anything changes
you guys will hear about it on my Instagram stories where I update you on my reading and
in my wrap up at the end of August. But, I will be doing the ReadAThin, which is a month
long reading challenge as well as the middle-grade reading challenge whenever is. Against all
the details and creators will be listed down below. That's it for this video. If you liked
it be sure to give me a big old thumbs up, click subscribe, and I will see all of you
in my next video. Bye, guys.
