July 2016 TBR (+ a GIVEAWAY)


July is going to be a very busy month for me. We have lots of day-cation plans (not spending the night anywhere but definitely getting out of the house!), big home projects, and I also have lots of arcs to read. I am hoping that I can fit in lots of reading and some blogging but I'm going to focus on living life more than anything so I may possibly be a little mia around here. That being said, I'm participating in the Fantasy Favorites Readathon and we are almost half a month into COYER so I hope to do well with those but it's all up in the air right now. 

I have another bookmark giveaway (at the bottom of this post) so be sure to enter!

(struck out = finished reading)

AND NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY!

My most anticipated read for this month is NEVERNIGHT and I absolutely love the typography of the title (which was created by Cuddlebuggery, if you weren't aware). I just couldn't pass up the chance to make myself a bookmark for it and I really hoped I could get a physical arc but alas, I only got an e-arc. Not that I'm complaining! I'm thrilled to read it and I'll most likely pre-order my own copy if I love it. Making bookmarks is a creative outlet for me and I hand-painted and laminated an extra one to give away to you guys! 


The Rules: 
1. Ends 7/31/2016 at midnight EST
2. This giveaway is INTERNATIONAL! You're welcome!
3. If you are under 13 please get a parent or guardian's permission to enter as you will be sharing personal shipping information (that I will not share with anyone.)
4. Winner will be chosen randomly through Rafflecopter and will be emailed within a day or two.
5. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited.
6. Please be honest. Winning entries will be verified.

Good luck!!!

  6. I need to read the first book in the Great Library Series, but it's one I HOPE to get to soon since the second one is out now. I haven't read any of the books on your list but besides Paper and Fire, I DO really want to read Nevernight. I don't have an arc at all so I'll have to buy a copy when it comes out! That bookmark is so cool though! Thanks for the giveaway.
