Happy Friday and welcome to my July #TBR! (which already looks almost nothing like my Summer #TBR I made like two weeks ago. Oops.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago I got really excited and made a Summer #TBR that I was honestly trying to stick to. Well, we’re almost a full week into July and I have not stuck to that list, like almost at all. Oops. A large part of that is simply that I forgot to put my Camp Half Blood audiobooks on that list, which is a silly oversight that resulted in the list being wrong from the beginning. Also, I signed up for a review stop on a blog tour, which means I need to read that book too. And another book I had been reading just wasn’t working for me, so I put it on my “come-back-to” shelf on Goodreads (which is very different from my “abandoned” shelf, because as you may have guessed, I fully intend to come back and finish those books someday). And I need to make sure that I’ve completed all my O.W.L.s necessary to take my N.E.W.T.s in August for the Magical Readathon. So all of that basically means that I need a July #TBR post! And now without any further ado, the books I’ll actually read in July…<\/p>\n

Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.<\/p>\n

One day, Magnus learns that someone else is trying to track him down\u2014his uncle Randolph, a man his mother had always warned him about. When Magnus tries to outmaneuver his uncle, he falls right into his clutches. Randolph starts rambling about Norse history and Magnus's birthright: a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.<\/p>\n

The more Randolph talks, the more puzzle pieces fall into place. Stories about the gods of Asgard, wolves, and Doomsday bubble up from Magnus's memory. But he doesn't have time to consider it all before a fire giant attacks the city, forcing him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents. . . .<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
