Which books are highest on your to-read list for July? My Life as a White Trash Zombie, Wolfsbane and Dead Iron are big musts for me, but this month is insane with great releases. I may need to forgo some sleep.
A Dance with Dragons! Can’t wait to read it!
My long awaited chapter of George R R Martins “Song Of Ice and Fire” book #5 “A Dance With Dragons” is also the one I am doing the excited happy dancing on the ceiling rumba about Chelsea, closely followed by my looking forward to Kalayna Price book 2 “Grave Dance” in her Alex Craft series as book 1 “Grave Witch” blew me away with joy when I devoured it!
After those am waiting impatiently for my copies of Wolfsbane, Spellbound, NIght Veil, Overbite, A Touch Of Frost, Bloodlands and some others to come in the mail upon release into the wild!
Very excited for Ghost Story. I miss Harry.
Just to let you know, I am doing a giveaway on my blog for an ARC of Forever. Ends the 22nd.

This month is full of great reads! I’m looking forward to Forever, Ghost Story, My Life as a White Trash Zombie and Wolfsbane.
Grave Dance was great!!
The Naked City anthology was a bit disappointing–I was expecting something more like Strange Brew.
Can’t wait for Ghost Story! 😀
I’m very excited for A Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep and
Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer
Hmm, it’s a tie b/t Wolfsbane and Spellbound. Both have not yet been confirmed shipped (BN has had a HUGE issue w/not shipping on time these last ohhh 3 months GRRRR). CANNOT wait to read them both!
