Personal Favorite. I read all kinds of books, but I definitely have a special place in my heart for paranormal mysteries. Do you have a favorite genre?

If-Then Reads
One good book can lead to another! Are you all about theater reads? These books both include stage productions!
BINGO progress
First Column. I find it easier to make a BINGO if I take a little time at the beginning of the month to create a mock full-cover board. I fill each square with titles that are already on my home shelves or waiting for my attention on my e-reader. Then, I choose the column or row I’m most excited about and … read!
August is already going well. (I haven’t quite finished Hummingbird yet, but maybe if I fold some laundry, I can squeak in some extra reading time!)
How do you choose what to read next?
Starry Reads
Battle Dragons by Alex London. A personal favorite, in part because I like dragons. But I never expected to love urban cyberpunk dragons quite so much. An action-packed set of stories that includes graffiti and gangs and illegal dragon racing. But at its heart, Battle Dragon is also about a family, and I love that. Bonuses: a quirky pet, dragon-based public transit, and an enby friend. Highly recommended!

A to Z Reading Challenge
New Graphic. As one of the moderators at Great Middle Grade Reads, one of my main jobs is setting up annual reading challenges. The A to Z Reading Challenge is a longstanding favorite for the group. Now we have a pretty new graphic that begs to be filled in!
I’m holding off filling this out for a little while because I usually get multiple titles for each letter during the year. Narrowing down a favorite is gonna be tough for some letters! Follow me on Goodreads to see what I’m reading!
New Month, New Plans
Reading Challenges. Participating in reading challenges is just one way to tackle a towering To Read pile. I chose my first five books for August because they fit one row on my new BINGO board. You can check out this challenge and more over on #MGCarousel >>

July’s BINGO Board
Reading in Rows. This past month, I was able to fit in a lot more reading time. (Getting past certain looming deadlines helped!) So my BINGO board is looking pretty respectable. I was especially pleased to find places for the whole Bartimaeus trilogy.
Looking ahead to August’s BINGO board already. (As a co-mod at #MGCarousel, I get a sneak peek, so I can strategize my To Read pile. )
Q Books
A to Z Reading Challenge. I’m a moderator over at Great Middle Grade Reads over on Goodreads. For the most part, I run the annual reading challenges. This year, I’m tackling the A to Z challenge in alphabetical order, and I’m about to start on the letter Q. This is always a challenge, but this year, it’ll be a little easier. One of the longtime mods brought to my attention that some of the hardest letters have built-in loopholes. For the letter Q, any book with a word in the title that starts with Q … qualifies! Here are my picks:
