August TBR

So, I've never done one of these before because I've not wanted to be too ambitious with what I say I'm going to read but.... here goes. 

I've set myself a goal of four books this month because I think that would be good amount. So! The first book I am going to read is On The Other Side by Carrie Fletcher (which I'm already reading but thats irrelevant... It's August I'm allowed). This book is by one of my idols Carrie Fletcher who's book signing I'll be going to on 8th August in Cardiff with my friend Ren! (she has youtube and stuff under renontheroad and she's a cool bookish person too so check her out). This book is about a woman called Evie Snow who has died and is trying to pass on to heaven. However, she is stuck in 'heavens waiting room' and must let go of her secrets before she can pass on. I'm really excited to see how these secrets affect her living relatives and I'm loving the stories from her past at the moment.

Next I'm going to read Half Lost by Sally Green which is the last book in the Half Bad trilogy. So far in the trilogy I've loved how fast paced and action packed they have been and I'm so excited to read the last one! I don't really want to say what happens because obviously this is the conclusion and I don't want to spoil it for anyone but, all I'll say is that I'm looking forward to how Nathan is going to develop with the events of the last book.

Then, I plan on reading The Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman. This is the first in the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy and is the book that 'The Golden Compass' is based on. I've also recently found out that this trilogy has also been turned into a play (which has been ordered and is on it's way to me). So Lyra lives in a world where a person's soul is carried in an animal (a literal spirit animal) which follows them around everywhere. Little does she know that she is a child of a prophecy and this takes her on some amazing adventures. I got given the trilogy for Christmas ages ago so I have no idea why I haven't read them yet!

And finally, my book club book of the month! This month it's Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling. We thought it would be fitting as most of us haven't read it and considering all of the J.K stuff going on at the moment we though it suited the month (and before you ask no, I haven't got cursed child yet (I'm a shameful human being I know)). In this book, Barry Fairbrother has died in a town that is not all as it seems. There's a lot of political war in the town as well as an upcoming election. This is all I know about this book but I like that I don't know much because that leaves so much more to find out! 

If you've read any of these books do let me know what you thought of them and I'll be posting reviews of each one as well as how the Carrie Fletcher signing goes!
