Each month I like to set a To-Read list for myself. I find around five books that catch my eye and I add them to my monthly book lists. I find that by doing this I'm a lot more motivated to actually read them because I like the satisfaction of crossing something off a list. So, without further ado, I present my July To-Read List in hopes it inspires you to start one too.
The Woman In The Window​ by A.J. Finn
This book follows a reclusive woman living in the comfort of her New York City home. She lives an average life except for the fact that she doesn't leave her house. When new neighbors move in and she witnesses a murder, her whole world must change. This book seems like a great thriller and also like it would have some great comic relief.
Hunger by Roxane Gay
This memoir by Roxane Gay tells Gay's story of assault and how it ruined her body image and her relationship with food. This is definitely a serious read but something we all should open ourselves up to. Even if you've never experienced body image issues or if you have a healthy relationship with food, I think it's super important to be aware of others struggles to better educate yourself and be more compassionate and understanding as a human being.
Then She Was Gone
I try not to pick favorites... but I'm most excited for this one. A true psychological thriller, this novel tells the story of how a woman's daughter goes missing unexplained. The mother grieves and tries to move on with life after time passes by. Eventually, she meets a man and she seems to forget all her problems. Until she meets his daughter: a spitting image of her missing daughter at a younger age. I don't even need to add anymore details this should be enough to convince you to add this one.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
If you have not already heard of this one you must be living under a rock. It was recently turned into a movie directed by Steven Spielburg. This dystopian novel follows a worldwide virtual reality easter egg hunt which rewards the winner with ownership of this virtual reality world. I have heard so many amazing reviews of this one so if you're into dystopian science fiction type books this is perfect for you!
Beach Read by Emily Henry
When a romance writer and a literary novelist find themselves living next to each other in summer beach homes, they bond over their writer's block. One night they make a deal and decide to swap genres letting the other show them the ropes for this unchartered territory. The book promises no romance (but I don't believe that). Regardless, this seems like a really enjoyable and easy read for the summer. Like the name suggests, it's a beach read!
