*This post is replacing this week’s Heartbeat Weekly because I have no news to share and no new books this week!
HOLY CRAP you guys, there are so many readathons this month!! There’s ARC August going all month, #5books7days (Instagram) from the 10th to the 16th, Bout of Books from the 17th to the 23rd, and finally Beat the Heat from the 24th to Labor Day! Basically my August is going to be one giant readathon XD
I’m just going to combine them all in one post – except for Beat the Heat; I’ll do that separate since I’m hosting that one. (Look for the sign ups for that sometime later this week!) I’ll come back and update my progress directly on this post!
ARC August
Sign up HERE!
Some review books I need to get to:
I decided to go with a mix of old and new – I chose 3 new ones, and 3 old ones. Hopefully I can get to more, though! I’ve got some that have been sitting on my shelf/eReader for months (some more than a year)… *hangs head in shame*
Books read:
- Gambit by C.L. Denault
- Hunter by Mercedes Lackey
- The Fire Wish by Amber Lough
- The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black
- Dreamland by Robert L. Anderson

#5books7days
This one is an Instagram challenge! It’s hosted by @lottelikesbooks, you can follow along with the hashtag #5books7days :)
I’m really excited for this one because it’s going to be a major cram. I managed to read 6 for the last one!

Books I want to read in August
I pre-pulled a few of these books from my TBR jar for August – Harry Potter, Praying for Rain, and “a book with faeries” (which I chose TDPotF for).
I can’t wait for the new Bout of Books! I always get several books knocked off my TBR during those weeks.
Soo many readathons this month! I’m interested in the instagram challenge but I’m afraid I’ll just stress myself out! Good luck Jessi
I’ve only participated in one other readathon, but I would love to do another! 5 books in seven days would be cramming BUT it sounds like a lot of fun! I just might try it! Hope you enjoy all your books this month. :)
Ooh, I hope you get to The Kiss of Deception because I’m curious if you will like it :D
