August 2014 TBR

I keep doing these, and I'm not sure why, because I never tend to stick to them - but I do really like havng an idea of what to read. Even though we're a week into the month, I haven't finished anything yet, but I have a lot of books I want to read. And there's the Bout of Books 11 read-a-thon happening this week from the 18th to the 24th.

There aren't any books, really, that I know for sure I'm going to read - but I have ideas of how my reading will go. None of these are positive, I'm really just looking around and seeing what catches my eye right now.


  • The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black (I got an ARC of this at LeakyCon and started it on the plane back, haven't finished it yet, but I knew nothing going in and oh my god).
  • Say Her Name by James Dawson (I don't know if this is out in the US - but some of the UK book people I follow were praising it and it was pretty cheap on TheBookDepository - and I might have a slight obsession with the Bloody Mary thing)
  • Geek Girl by Holly Smale (this sounds adorable and fun)
  • If I Stay by Gayle Foreman (I was kind of sold on reading this after watching Gayle speak on a few panels at LeakyCon, during LitDay)
  • Dissonance by Erica O'Rourke (I won this on Goodreads and I've been hearing amazing things)
I'd also like to reread The Way of Kings and read Words of Radiance - but we'll see when that happens. I'd also like to finish some of the books I'm currently-reading, which will hopefully happen this month.

Any suggestions of what I should read this month? New releases or old favorites - I love getting book recommendations.

August TBR

So I did this last month, a little late, and this month I'm doing it again and I'm going to split it into 3 parts, because I want it to be all organized and stuff.

This is what I want to read this month, first we have the 'for fun' reads, the ones I just want to read because they are there:
Social and Cultural Anthropology by John Monaghan and Peter Just
The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett

Book club(s):
Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb (Sword and Laser)
Master of None by Sonya Bateman (VFH)
Ill Wind by Rachel Caine (VFH)

For Review:
Innocent Darkness by Suzanne Lazear
AngelFall by Susan Ee
Gods and Warriors by Michelle Paver
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
False Memory by Dan Krokos

And I'm really hoping to read MORE then this, even though this is quite a bit. Though, I did read 12 books last month, maybe I can keep up with myself and read about that this month. Though, I do leave for Chicago for LeakyCon in 6 days, so maybe not. But I can try!

If you have any questions about the books I'm planning to read or the book clubs I'm part of please feel free to leave a comment with it.
