In the interest a being more organized about my reviewing, I’ve decided to start publishing my monthly reading schedule. Right now, I just have a ginormous calendar which sits on my desk and I slot in books based on their release date.
For the month of July, there are about nine books I definitely want to read. Also, I’ll mention that I won’t actually give them a specific date since I tend to read based on mood. Instead, this post will most likely resemble a book pool.
The holdovers from June:
Strange Neighbors by Ashlyn Chase • I Now Pronounce You Someone Else by Erin McCahan • Everlasting by Angie Frazier
…And then there are the books I initially planned to read in July:
Life, After by Sarah Darer Litman • The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson • Sell Out by Ebony Joy Wilkins • One Night That Changes Everything by Lauren Barnholdt • Spirit by Andrew Feder • Stories (edited) by Neil Gaiman & Al Sarrantonio
Since books pass through here on an almost daily basis, this list may change through the month, but my goal is to finish (and review) all the books listed above.
Curious: Do you currently have a monthly reading schedule? If so, how do you organize it? If not, how do you manage your TBR stack? (I’m looking for ideas because my current system is a system-in-progress and improvements would be gladly appreciated.)

I Know Pronounce You Someone Else was actually written by my neighbor from when I was younger. We hadn’t spoken in years but somehow my mom got in contact with her and they spoke about her book being published and all. I am excited to read it for that reason, even though it is not a book I would choose normally.

That’s so cool Stephanie! What a small world we live in. You said your mom got to speak with her, but did you? And were you guys friends or just neighbors? In any event, I do hope you enjoy her book (even though it’s not your usual cup of tea).
