I am so excited to announce the first stop in the Book Lovers Blog Hop! This is a little project I put together so that us book bloggers could collaborate and spread our love of books.

Over the month of August numerous book bloggers will be hosting a different bookish question on their blogs for each day of the month. Each question will be answered by those participating in the Blog Hop. I'm kicking off the action by hosting the first question, which is: What are you reading this month?
I read a LOT of books in July thanks to readathons like 24hourathon (21st July) and Booktubeathon (24th-20th July). I still have a lot on my TBR list though. This month I'd like to get through some more of my Net Galley TBR's.
People don't need to know you're a murderer.They just have to think you could be...June 1980: 17-year-old Kelly Lund is jailed for killing Hollywood film director, John McFaddenThirty years later, Kelly is a free woman. Yet speculation still swirls over what really happened that night.And when her father-in law, and close friend of McFadden is found dead - shot through the head at point-blank range - there can only be one suspect.But this time Kelly has some high-profile friends who believe she's innocent of both crimes.But is she?'You'll stay up late to read this' Laura Lippmann'Full of crackling energy and heartache' Megan Abbott'An exceptional book by an exceptional writer' Alex Marwood
Dr Elizabeth Pimms has a new puzzle.What is the story behind the tiny skeletons discovered on a Guatemalan island? And how do they relate to an ancient Mayan queen?The bones, along with other remains, are a gift for Elizabeth. But soon the giver reveals his true nature. An enraged colleague then questions Elizabeth’s family history. Elizabeth seeks DNA evidence to put all skeletons to rest.A pregnant enemy, a crystal skull, a New York foodie, and an intruder in Elizabeth’s phrenic library variously aid or interrupt Elizabeth’s attempts to solve mysteries both ancient and personal.With archaeological intrigue, forensic insight and cosy comfort, Mayan Mendacity takes readers back into the world of Dr Pimms, Intermillennial Sleuth. Really cold cases.
I am hoping to finish the Book of Mortals Series by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee. I really liked Forbidden so I can’t wait to dig into Mortals and Sovereign in August.
Every year I read Tolkien’s epic series about Middle Earth from the Sillmarillion to Return of the King. I start June first and TRY to finish by June 30th. However I have been distracted as of late by Midnight Bayou by Nora Roberts and a new Krewe of Hunters book from Heather Graham.
My TBR is extremely long, and I have yet to read any of the books listed. Instead, I continue to pick up new reads. Currently, I am reading the first book in the Alpha Drive Trilogy by Kristen Martin. So far, I am enjoying the series, and can’t wait to finish so I can move on to the next.
I’ll be plenty busy reading textbooks in August, very little time for “non school related reading”. I’m in school for Electrical Engineering so: Industrial Electronics, Digital Devices, Principles of Electric Circuits, and Electronic Devices. I have Jo Linsdell’s KOSMOS next on my TBR list, and I’m busy editing my novel Visionary From The Stars- which I guess is still reading...just my own work.
Like everyone else on this post, I’ve got a TBR list a mile long, so I’ll only mention a few. I’m working through Rachael Craw’s Spark trilogy; currently I’m in the middle of the second book of this YA Sci Fi, Stray. Mary Weber’s The Evaporation of Sofi Snow will also get finished in August, as well as another book titled Spark, this one a YA urban fantasy by J.M. Hackman. Finally, I’m looking forward to diving intoEnding Fear by Deanna Fugett. And getting the colouring book that goes along with this YA dystopian!
Have you read any of the books mentioned here? What's on your TBR list for this month? Do you keep a TBR list or do you just pick and read? Leave a comment below and let us know :)
Here's the full schedule for the Book Lovers Blog Hop so you can check out the other questions too:
I'll be answering a lot of the questions so follow along if you want to know more bookish facts about me ;) I can't wait to see what answers everyone else gives. Such a fun way to discover more books!
The "Which Book" Tag
I made an original book tag for Booktube! Welcome to the "Which Book" Tag :) This is basically the "would you rather" game but with books.
How it
works:
Take the last 10 books you read and starting from the
10th book back compare with the next book in the list. Each time you pick which
of the two you prefer. At the end you'll have the book you liked most out of
your most recent reads.
