Well, July is going to be a Month of Rereading so I’ve been trying to zip through the TBR at the end of June, however I have been acquiring quite a few books in June … If you look at the TBR photo from the start of June and bear in mind that I had a trip to Oxford as well as some books I couldn’t resist buying, you’ll see that everything at the end of the back shelf, starting from the three Georgette Heyers, is new. Oops. Plus I bought my two books on the Olympics, too. Anyway, I did rattle through a few in June, and I have managed to take one off the shelf to add to my rereads …
As for upcoming reads, well, I’ve chosen my books for July rereading but I do have a couple I’ll have to read “new”, too. The Elizabeth Taylor is our Virago Group read for July. I am pretty sure that I have actually read this before, but I didn’t have a copy already (this one arrived yesterday, phew! But I didn’t have time to read it in June as planned) and I can’t find a note in my reading journals, so, well, it needs to be read anyway. The Olympics one I obviously do need to read before the end of the month: it explains the rules and inside info on each of the Olympic sports, and is likely to add significantly to my viewing pleasure, so off we’ll go with that one.
What are you planning to read in July? Are you taking part in our Month of Rereading challenge?

Your TBR pile looks just like my physical one – I also have a virtual TBR pile as an Amazon wishlist or my shelves would collapse under the weight. Good luck with your rereading month. Not taking part myself – I did consider it, but I know I’d feel I was cheating myself out all the great books that I haven’t already read.

I have a great load of books on my Kindle too, but they don’t count, right? Not pictured here is a small and constant pile of French books I can never face reading!

I’ve got some of those too – couple of Zolas and a Sartre I think. Currently reading the 3rd Twilight in French, but I keep putting it down and reading other things in between) and I have the first 4 Vampire Diaries in Spanish on my shelf.
It’s much better to keep some of the books out of sight like on a Kindle – makes that book buying addiction seem less out of control 🙂

I got scarred by trying to read The Hobbit in French – these are mainly young adult or classics that I should be able to manage …

I can imagine that The Hobbit would be tough. These days I do tend to stick to books without too much of a plot if I’m reading in another language (hence Twilight)! Read all of the Harry Potters in French, but that made it hard to discuss with others coz a lot of the characters had different names!
