How is your summer reading going? Have you read some wonderful books? Did you DNF (did not finish) any books? Is there any I should read?
I read quite a few books in July but I did not feature as many as I also played catch up to some of June’s reviews. But do not worry. They are coming!

Awards and Superlatives
Awards and superlatives are selected by me and only me. I’m not the Academy Awards nor do I claim to be. These should be taken light and halfheartedly because they are fun….unless you are the actual author. Then, they should totally be taken seriously. Totally.
Favorite Book of the Month: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall and Wheels of Fire by Autumn Jones Lake
Most Likely To Make You Cheesy Smile: Dear Emmie Blue by Lia Louis
Biggest Surpise: Dear Martin by Nic Stone
Newest Book Boyfriend: Chaser, Hollywood Demons Series
Other Bookish Fun
I was able to squeak out a Top Six Anticipated Reads: July Edition which includes a bonus pick this month.
Did you see my newest book list: Favorites of 2020: April through June Edition? This book list highlights all of my favorite books read and reviewed from April through the end of June. I also did a Favorite of 2020 for the books I read in the first quarter of the year….you know BEFORE the year kinda went a bit rogue. I called that book list: Favorites of 2020: January through March Edition? (Clever, right?).
Upcoming ARC / Book Reviews and Other Fun
#threefriendsbookclub News: Over on Instagram, I co-host a virtual book club with two other book nerds. July’s book club pick was Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert. August’s pick is Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo.
One more item before I go, most of the books I read / review can be found at my Amazon store front: www.amazon.com/shop/jm_bibliolater. If you do not want to support Amazon, I also have a store front at Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/shop/jmbibliolater. It’s a bit of a work in progress but it is there!
Or if you are an audio listener, Libro.fm is my provider of choice! They are PHENOMENAL!
