August TBR Jar!

I loved pulling books out of a jar so much last month, that I think it's a new staple of how I'm going to choose the books I read for the month. I like it better this way because it's all by chance! So now every month I'm going to randomly select two books out of my regular TBR jar which contains all the finished copies of books that I own and have not yet read. And then I choose two books out of my ARC TBR jar which contains all the ARC I haven't read yet.  And then I have the book club book for the month, maybe a library book and also an e-book.  So that's about seven books every month which is pretty good!

So here are the books I have randomly selected for this month:

I'm so excited to read these books! I remember really enjoying Immortal Beloved and I pretty much bought Hemlock as soon as it came out and I have yet to read it! Both of the ARC are books I picked up at ALA 2012 and I'm glad I can be moving them off my shelf soon. 

Book Club book for August: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. Already read it and it's absolutely amazing!! I was literally weeping by the end!

Currently reading: In the Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters because it is due back at the library on Tuesday! Pretty good so far! 

TBR Jar- July!

I have discovered this new meme that a few booktubers are doing now called the TBR Jar! They basically put their never ending TBR list in a jar on little folded pieces of paper and then they draw one or two out to read for the month. "What a great idea" I said to myself. Except I'm gonna have to change this up a little bit to work for me!

Since I have my regular TBR list and my ARC TBR list, I need two jars to pull books from. So I made two!

First let's talk about the books I'm already planning on reading this month. So I have Game by Barry Lyga which I will most likely finish today.  I also have The Girl in the Clockwork Collar by Kady Cross and Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry and I chose those just because I felt like it haha! Then I am in a book club and this month, by my choice, we are reading The Half-Made World by Felix Gilman.

Then from the TBR Jar I drew Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel! OMG you guys, I bought this book as soon as it came out and I still haven't read it yet! Definitely glad I drew this book!

From the ARC TBR Jar I drew What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang! This was one of my most coveted ARCs from ALA last year and I've just let it sit in my ALA pile. What is wrong with me?! I'm so glad I drew both of these books! I'm so excited!!

Since I already had a somewhat established list of books I wanted to read for this month I only drew one book out of each jar. If I like how this turns out for July, I think I might start drawing 2 books out of each jar and have those be my TBR for the month plus the book club book! 

So fun! Happy reading guys!!
