It’s time to celebrate, I’m actually coming to you with my July 2025 Book Goals relatively early in the month! I won’t lie, I’m pretty proud. But does that mean I have a massive TBR planned for this month? Well, that’s a whole other story… And we’re just going to pretend I haven’t also been silently adding more physical books to the overall TBR recently. As they say, ‘we listen and we don’t judge’. We’re all friends here, after all!
What’s on the TBR list?
July is shaping up to be a super busy month, but that’s honestly got nothing to do with my TBR. So I’m being radical about my TBR plans, and only fully committing to reviewing one book. Is that bizarre? I feel like it is. But life is hectic during launch months for Helen’s amazing stories, and keeping the tavern crew (aka the Street Team) happy is my main goal!
So what am I definitely going to read and review this month? The ARC of Seer of Strands by Anne Mollova, which will release on July 22nd!
Anticipated Releases:
July is absolutely delivering all sorts of romantasy delights, so of course they’ve all been added to my overall TBR! Want to join me? Mark the dates below glitterbugs, because we’re in for some magnificent adventures…
- 2nd: A Forbidden Alchemy: Stacey McEwan
- 3rd: A Kiss of Hammer and Flame: Amy de la Force

I’ve been lucky enough to dive into two of these upcoming releases before their publication dates, so if you want to see my review for A Kiss of Hammer and Flame? You can check out my review for it by clicking the link above! I said it before and I’ll say it again, I do believe we need to put A Kiss of Hammer and Flame on some kind of podium. In first place. With a crown. And roses. Because when you get a story *this* captivating, this haunting with a delicious character like Hael? Where do I sign my name for all of eternity to keep reading a romantic fantasy like this?!
And if you want to witness my fangirling for the incredible Thorns & Fire by Helen Scheuerer? Just click the link above to see it happen! My love for this fantasy romance is endless. Even as Helen masterfully, subtly, lures us into a trap of anxiety for the final instalment, I know we are in the safest of hands. Because Helen Scheuerer doesn’t know how to write anything less than perfection. And I truly mean that.
Happy reading, glitterbugs! I hope you achieve all of your own July 2025 Book Goals, and I’m sure we’ll talk soon…
