Here is my to be read list for July. I might take a while reading all these books so I think I might have to extend this list to August too. Another big commitment I'm making this summer is to read the entire Harry Potter Series for the first time. Yes I know I have't read it yet, shame, but I am reading it now so sorry but don't complain. ;) Honestly I started the series in I think grade 4 or something and I read the first book and half of the second and then I got either bored or scared and sadly stopped. I really wish I didn't though because reading it now firstly, IT'S SOOOO GOOD! And Secondly I probably would've liked it more and been able to relate with it more when I was younger. As it is a more middle school aimed book. Anyways getting to my tbr list....
#1-4 is obviously as I mentioned the Harry Potter Series. So far I have read the first two and am reading the third currently. (Average Goodreads rating: 4.47/5)
Written by: J. K. Rowling
Published by: Scholastic Press in the United States and by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom
#5 Anna and the French Kiss
Written by: Stephanie Perkins
Published by: Dutton Juvenile
(I have wanted to read this book/trilogy for a while now and I have only heard good things about it) (Goodreads rating: 4.11/5)
#6 Girls Like Me
Written by: Lola St.Vil
Published by: HMH Books for Young Readers
(I received a paperback Arc of this book and after reading the synopsis I was very interested. I love books that are about normal life in high school, and then bam and they're Cinderella. Aha not quite. But after reading the synopsis, this book somewhat reminded me of a mix between A Cinderella Story, which I loved, the one with Hilary Duff? Yup that's the one, and like a diary or one of those advice column books. Also a lot of it is written in texts which is a form of writing I just love! Btw: This Book comes out October 4th 2016)
#7 The Book Thief
Written by: Markus Zusak
Pulished by: Knopf Books for Young Readers
(I had to write an essay on this book for school but I never finished it as I am pretty bad at reading books I actually want to read for school. I'm actually pretty good at reading books I have to read. Aha the irony... I had to watch the movie to know how it ends but I am planning to finish this book asap as I actually bought it and because it was pretty good.) (Goodreads rating: 4.35/5)
#8 The Sea of Tranquility
Written by: Katja Millay
Published by: Atria Books
(One of my friends highly recommended this book to me) (Goodreads rating: 4.37/5)
#9 The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
Written by: Douglas Adams
Published by: Del Rey Books
(Yes I know, I haven't read it yet but see I'm getting to it....) (Goodreads rating: 4.20/5)
#10 and last but not least Love Rosie
Written by: Cecelia Ahern
Published by: Hachette Books
(This book was actually adapted into a movie in 2014 and that is how I found out about it. It is an emotional and heartbreakingly sweet romance and stars Sam Claflin (Finnick Odair) , who I absolutely love in everything; which is why it originally caught my eye. I have wanted to read this book ever since I saw the amazing movie, I highly recommend but it does include one R rated scene... Fun fact: The original title of this book was Where Rainbows End) (Goodreads rating: 3.95/5)
*(Fun Fact #2: Sam Claflin recently (2016) stared in another book to movie adaptation which was pretty good as well; Me Before You. I recommend you see both as they are both emotional and very well played on Sam's part. ;) )
That about sums up my long tbr book list :)
Thank you all for bearing with me, enjoy, comment and ....
