July ended up being my second best month on my blog for 2019.  Thank you all for visiting!

 

July 2019 Book Haul

 

I went a little overboard in July compared to the last couple months, but I have no regrets.

July 2019 Wrap Up

 

I had quite a few things going on in July, so I’m kind of surprised I finished as many books as I did.  I definitely found some new favorites, too.

1/2 Way Done: Update on the Beach Book Bash Challenge

 

The TBR and Beyond Beach Book Bash is halfway over.  This event was for July and August.  I ended up rolling two boards and thought I would do a quick update at the halfway point.

 

Top Ten Tuesday 7/30/19

 

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.   You can find each week’s topic on her site.

 

This week was a freebie and I didn’t plan anything out.  But I decided to try something at the last minute.  I won’t have details for the books because I didn’t schedule this ahead of time.

 

I’m going with Top Ten ARCs I still need to read.  These are ones I already have even though I’ll get more before the year is over.

July/August 2019 TBR and Beyond Challenge

 

For anyone new to my blog, I am a moderator in TBR and Beyond which is a very active book group on facebook.  We have monthly challenges and games along with group reads and live author chats.  I hope you join if you haven’t already.  You do need to be a member to sign up for any game.

 

Our members wanted to do another game board, so we are doing a two month event for summer.  I’ll have the rules below.  You can join and also see the rules with THIS LINK

 

I’m a new affiliate for Book of the Month YA. July Book choices.

 

I was recently contacted to become an affiliate for Book Of The Month YA.  Since I’ve heard nothing but good things about BOTM, I decided to give it a try.  Please note that this is not a website for Book of the Month.  I’m just promoting it.  You can follow the link below which will take you to the site.

 

I will be posting around once a month and the posts will always include my affiliate link.  Please know that I do get a commission for every new sign up using my link.  So thank you in advance to anyone who gives it a try.

Most Anticipated July 2019 YA Releases

 

I have to be honest.  I’m really glad that July is a bit of a slower month for book releases.  I feel like so many books came out from April through June and I need to catch up (like that ever happens).

 

As always, this isn’t a full list of books coming out.  They are either ones I’m most looking forward to or ones that seem to be pretty popular already.
