I don't have ACR's so here are books that are on my Goodread's TBR that I want to finish reading. I have started all these and then stopped. Either I didn't love it or I was in a challenge and never could make it work and never went back to it.AVID AUGUST TBR;
I have a lot of ARCs, but I'll try reading the middle-grade ones in August (for the group Middle Grade Madness):
A Girl, a Raccoon, and the Midnight Moon by Karen Romano Young.
I will add more along the month.
My first challenge ever ! : a court of thrones and roses
Children of blood and bone
This challenge comes just right in time!I don’t have any ARCs, but before university starts again in September I’d like to finish all the book I started during the year - and put down for one reason or another.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
We Were Liars
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Oedipus at Colonus
Death Note vol.2
Heartstopper vol.1
For this challenge I'm going to add the link for my owned tbr instead of picking specific books. Most of these have been on my shelf for who knows how long, hopefully I'm able to make a dent in it this month.

I'm not in the business of reading ARCs, so my August is mostly going to be comprised of leftovers from other challenge months that I didn't get to, such as:-
-

My TBR of books that have been languishing on my TBR is:Foundryside
The Unhoneymooners

Someone to Honor
Again, but Better
Mod
As I'm also taking part in the NEWT's readathon, I had to change my TBR this month but quite a few cross over. I don't get ARC's so the only book I really have to read early in August is a library book I really need to get through. I don't expect to get to the last few, but here's the list: - Shadowsong
- Opposite of Always
This is just what I need! I have so many books that I’ve been telling myself to read and didn’t get around to. For this challenge I’m going to count not only the tbr’s I’ve made for the book groups I’m in but also my mental tbr.
I’m not going to list every book individually as that would be too long. I’ve made a shelf for the challenge and will update the books there. As well as at the end of the month.
I do also have an arc of All American Muslim girl. Which I will hopefully get to as well.
Good luck to everyone else!
Honestly, I've been in a major reading slump this entire year (only 7/50 books through my reading challenge right now, yikes), so my TBR is long for me as compensation. I only have one ARC and yes, I know that the book already came out 😅The Storm Crow (ARC)
A Game of Thrones
Neverworld Wake
Shadow and Bone
The Raven Boys
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
The House on Mango Street
Slaughterhouse-Five
What the Hell Did I Just Read
We Should All Be Feminists
Mod
I decided this month to make a big list of ARCs I'd like to prioritize soon and then just mood-read from that list and see how many I can knock out. The list is almost 50 books long so I won't list them all, but I'm gonna list the highest priority ones and then of course I'll update this as I start/finish titles. And yes, most of them are overdue. 😭😂• In the Shadow of Spindrift House {WIP}

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
Ghost Bully by Brian Corley
The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara
If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo
Scardust by Suzanne van Rooyen
Nethergrim by Matthew Jobin
The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot - Novels in verse aren't usually my thing, but I think this is going to be a great one.Bursts of Fire (Addicted to Heaven #1) by Susan Forest - This sounds like it's going to be an amazing fantasy to me. - DNF'd
Crown of Coral and Pearl (Crown of Coral and Pearl #1) by Mara Rutherford - This sounds like it's going to be an epic new YA fantasy. I can't wait to read it!
The Cruel Stars by John Birmingham - This sci-fi novel is getting a lot of great reviews so far and it sounds like it'll be great for people who like Battlestar Galactica.
The Heart of the Circle by Keren Landsman - This Israel set urban fantasy sounds like it will be well worth reading.
Swipe Right for Murder by Derek Milman - I'm so excited for this Hitchcockian YA mystery thriller by the author of one of my favorite reads of last year.
The Warehouse by Rob Hart - Have you heard of this near future set sci-fi thriller? It sounds like it has a lot of potential, especially since Blake Crouch has provided a blurb for it!
Breaking the Gloaming (Light in the Gloaming #2) by J.B. Simmons - This has been on my mountain for five years and it's time I get to it especially since I loved book one. I featured this book on a tbr in 2016.
The Color of Magic (Discworld #1) by Terry Pratchett - This has been on my Goodreads want to read list for a very long time and it's part of my Beat the Backlist Challenge this year as well.
Dreadnought (The Clockwork Century #2) by Cherie Priest - This has also been on my Goodreads want to read list for ages and it's been on shelves practically forever too. It's time I continue this steampunk series.
Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1 by Bisco Hatori - This manga has been on my Goodreads tbr for forever, and it's also part of my August plans for Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge.
The Steep and Thorny Way by Cat Winters - I included this on my Fall 2017 tbr. Cat Winters is one of my favorite historical fantasy authors and it's about time I read more from her - after this I'll only have one more novel to read from her before I'm caught up!
I have so many ARCS to read, it's painful. Here we go:The Starless Sea
Fireborne
The Guinevere Deception
Into the Crooked Place
