Happy July! Have you melted yet? I’m currently in my dark office with the windows closed and the air on trying my best to stay cool. Luckily, I have plenty of books to keep me entertained. So, let’s get to my July 2025 TBR.
The Ghosts of Beatrice Bird
Synopsis:
Beatrice Bird is haunted by ghosts–a gift she’s had since she was a small child. Unfortunately, it’s an ability that has now grown more intense, shifting from flashes and feelings to physical manifestations she can’t escape.
In a desperate attempt to find relief, Beatrice flees her home, her partner, and her psychology practice in San Francisco for a remote island with only nuns and a few cows for company. She doesn’t call home. She sees as few people as she possibly can. Then she meets Anne Iredale, a timid woman who has lost everything that matters to her.
For the first time in a long time, Beatrice’s gift will be called on to help someone in need. But the ghosts have taken on an even darker edge–and there is something sinister lurking in the shadows. Beatrice may not be enough to stop what’s coming for them.
After reading Memorials I’m still in the mood for something a little spooky and thrilling. I don’t know exactly how spooky The Ghosts of Beatrice Bird leans, but I’m interested to give it a read, nonetheless.
The Hunger of the Gods
Synopsis:
Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison. Now she plots a new age of blood and conquest.
As Orka continues the hunt for her missing son, the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own-and Varg takes the first steps on the path of vengeance.
Elvar has sworn to fulfill her blood oath and rescue a prisoner from the clutches of Lik-Rifa and her dragonborn followers, but first she must persuade the Battle-Grim to follow her. Yet even the might of the Bloodsworn and Battle-Grim cannot stand alone against a dragon god.
Their only hope lies within the mad writings of a chained god. A book of forbidden magic with the power to raise the wolf god Ulfrir from the dead…and bring about a battle that will shake the foundations of the earth.
After that I’m going to take a quick break from the spooky to dive back into The Bloodsworn Trilogy. I’m looking forward to binge reading The Hunger of the Gods.
So that’s my July 2025 tbr. What are you reading this month?
