My July 2026 TBR primarily consists of ARCs simply because I’ll be on the move a lot this month. (Also, I’m really behind on ARCs.) Luckily, I have some good ones to read and I’m excited about all of these. But first, I need to finish EMPIRE OF STORMS, which is a must. Then I’ll have two books left in the series, which I think is manageable before the next ACOTAR books come out.

Anyway, to those of us who’ll be enduring the heat dome for the next 5 days or so, stay safe, good luck, hunker down. I hear reading is a good, cool thing to do.

After a slow start to my May 2026 TBR, I actually ended up okay. I didn’t read as many days last month, so that impacted some progress on my ARCs. But I read two of my priority reads and one of my hopeful reads and read 30% of my third priority read. For my June 2026 TBR I have a list of hopeful reads for Pride Month. This is a first for me.

I never read to a particular monthly theme. It makes me want to have a mental temper tantrum because I don’t like being held to a list. The only reason I started doing these monthly TBR posts is to keep ARCs in the forefront of my mind. In that regard, I think my TBR posts work. However, I have a massive backlog of physical books I want to get through, including LGBTQ+ books. So, I decided to use Pride Month as encouragement to tackle some backlist LGBTQ+ reads.
