- Hey friends! ✌🏻 We are blindly choosing my TBR...again! You already know I've come to love picking my "to be read" this way. Augusts picks are some I'm highly anticipating & have high expectations for. Authors like Courtney Walsh, Kristen Hannah, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Kennedy Ryan & more. Gosh, it should be a great reading month!
I hope you have a great August and month of reading too! 😘
xoxo, Jordan🩵

I absolutely loved Heartless Hunter soooo much! Can't wait to hear all of your thoughts!!!!!!!!!!! 🥰
You ask how someone couldn't know the guy they're crushing on is their best friend's brother, but I tried to introduce one of my closest friends to her brother... it was a whole year into our friendship too. They were in completely different friend groups for me so I had never seen them together and I'd never been to his house, I mean obviously I had, but I'd never been to visit him and every time I'd gone to visit her he was out or in his room the whole time! It was very embarrassing to try and introduce them... It took me a while to even realise they weren't joking when they said they were siblings!!!
Thank you for sharing this story! That is so crazy to me but I guess nothing is impossible haha
The All Souls series by Deborah Harkness is a vampire/witch story! It’s my favourite EVER series! The second/fourth books are historical.
Thanks for the rec! I’ll look it up 😍
Foxglove is amazing!!!!
Yay for Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Once I am done with the Inheritance Games series I might have to check out that series.
This Summer Will Be Different had an absolutely perfect setting. I hope you enjoy it! It's not my fav BUT it's so much better than Meet Me At the Lake!
I’m so glad to hear that! I don’t need a new favorite, I just hope to actually enjoy it haha
I definitely enjoyed Foxglove more so than Belladonna, though I loved both. Can't wait to pick up Wisteria. I hope your reads go well.
I hope you enjoy wisteria too
I really enjoyed Before I Let go! I need to read the next book in the series soon- This Could Be Us.
Ready for another Courtney! She never disappoints. 🥰👏
Love this idea! I will also try it!
You should!🩷
The Women was great!! I really want to read Foxglove, Heartless Hunter, and Before I Let Go, I’ve heard great things about them. Some books on my August TBR include Song of Achilles, Pachinko, Stone Blind, Remarkably Bright Creatures, and Parable of the Talents 😊
I really enjoyed and was surprised by Remarkably Bright Creatures! I hope you like it & enjoy all your books in august
@@Jordan_elaine Remarkably Bright Creatures will actually be a re-read for a book club, should have mentioned that haha! I loved it and can’t wait to read it again 😊 Thank you, I hope you love everything you read too!
The women!! Yes! Absolutely incredible my favorite book this year and I don’t know if anything will beat it
You were the first person to convince me I need to read it!
I read “Before I Let Go” the beginning of this year and gave it a high 4⭐️…I’m actually reading the second book “This Could Be Us” in August and heard it is even better than the first one. Can’t wait to hear what you think😊
Yay! So glad to hear you enjoyed it too!
I hope you enjoy Live and Let Chai. The Seaside Cafe series is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
I love that it’s your favorite! I’m so eager to see how it is
Ahhhhh! Live and Let Chai 😍😍
Me too. Love fall. Already adding books to my Fall TBR.
Is there a book that is highest on your fall tbr?
@@Jordan_elaine Prose & Cons by Amanda Flower. A cozy Mystery about a magical bookstore. What about you?
@@charollatecrowe6475 I read that one. It’s so good!
Before I let go was a 5 star read for me. It also got me out of a 5 year reading slump!
Oh my gosh that’s a really big deal! All of these comments have my expectations going through the roof for this one!
love your TBRs! This looks like a good set of books. But... I have to say, as an Oregonian, its "Ore-gun" not Ore-Gone 😇
Thanks for clarifying! 😂 in all our travels it’s so crazy to find how many words we pronounce wrong 😳
I have that book on hold The women by Kristin Hannah. I enjoy her books I read 4 so far
Which has been your favorite so far?
Your Friends mugggg🎉
I am SO excited to see what you think of Little White Lies. 🤭 I am so intrigued by it!
I’ll let you know when I finish 😘
Need to add some of these to my tbr. You convinced me
Savor it for me was reaaaaaally good!!! Such a heartworming read! It was light and at the same time had some meaningful elements to it!! ❤️
Heartwarming!? 😍😍👏🏻 glad to hear that! I wasn’t sure
Before I Let Go is so so so good and powerful, you’ll love it 🩷
Powerful story is exactly what I’m hoping from it!
I also just got Savor It on my Kindle and I can't wait to hopefully read it in August 😊
I finished Before I Let Go a few days ago and gave it 5 stars. I am not a romance girlie so I wasn’t super excited about reading it but there was so much hype around it that I had to give it a chance. It turned out to be so good and I loved the couple. Check trigger warnings because there’s some heavy topics in the book and it’s very SPICY 🌶️.
Thank you for letting me know!! 🩷 I really don’t know anything except that everyone keeps giving it 5 stars
I was so ready to pick up Heartless Hunter. I like witchy stories if they aren’t too dark. But I checked and this hits 7 trigger warnings. Three of them are absolute no-goes for me. 😮
Live and Let Chai was a cute story. I’m looking forward to your review of this one. I will be starting the July book in this series today.
Oh no! Now I am thinking maybe I should check the triggers 👀 I prefer going in blind but thanks for letting me know
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on all the books on your August tbr! 🥰Especially on Heartless Hunter and This Summer Will Be Different 🤭 I've been thinking about getting those two but I'm not entirely sure😅
Well I will share what I think of them 😘
Excited to hear your thoughts on Heartless Hunter so I can decide if I want to read it. 😉
Cant thank you enough for the book 😘😘
9:13 I’m super excited for that vlog 🤭💖 I love cozy mysteries!
It will definitely be really mind blowing to me if I can find a 5 star! I enjoy cozies but five stars sounds big for one haha
@@Jordan_elaine it’s definitely going to be a challenge haha! Even for me I rarely get a clear 5 star feel, but it does happen! I bet you’ll be reading many books for the vlog 😂😂😂
You make the rules, girl!! 🤭👏🏼 Also, can’t wait for fall! 🧡
Savor it! I’m excited to read that also ❤
❤Love the new coffee mug! I am reading The Women after Flawless...I think. I bought it as soon as it was released! The Belladonna series...I know I will like it♡ Must Read! ily❤
Ily! We should discuss The Women as we both read it!
I love cozy mystery try moving is murder by Nellie Steele. It’s cute! Also cottage by the Sea by Debbie Macomber.
My august TBR is quite a bit different since it’s my husbands birthday month, I let him pick in a fun TBR game for me! Got some different reads this month😅💗
Oh that sounds fun!! I look forward to watching!
I do the same thing😂 go in blindly and don’t read the synopsis until a quarter or more into the book😂😅
Somehow it makes them more enjoyable that way
@@Jordan_elaine Yes!!!!
I adored This Summer Will Be Different!!!! I didn't enjoy Meet me at the lake either.
Okay good! That means there’s a big chance I will like it too!
My priority TBR for August is Just for the Summer, Summer Romance (want to squeeze in a few more summer reads) Funny Story (for my book club) and True Colors by Kristin Hannah. It's my first Kristin Hannah book and I'm very excited! Also, I loved A Cross Country Wedding. The main characters in that book are probably the most memorable characters that Courtney has written, in my opinion. Like I hope they are still doing ok, to this day 😂
I’m so excited to read it based on that review! I’m a very character driven reader 😍
You have a great tbr!! Hope you enjoy all the books.
I'm excited to read Live & Let Chai soon!!!!
What’s your favorite cozy mystery?
Looking forward to your reviews of these books. ❤
Sounds like you're going to be having a great month of reads
Live and let chai 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I feel exactly how you feel about Carly Fortune's books so if you end up liking the newest one, maybe I will too and will give it a try. Keep us posted 😉
Okay I’ll let you know 😘
Hope you enjoy your reads 📚🥤
I have the same friends mug lol
I don’t even remember where I got it! Where did you get yours? Lol
@@Jordan_elaine tjmaxx or Marshall’s like 5 years ago 🙈
Please let me know your thoughts on the Women. It's on my tbr as well
I’ll be vlogging that one so I’ll give my thoughts! ☺️🩷
If you are interested in little white lies and like mystery/thrillers would you consider reading two of my books, murder board and a race against death and reviewing them, I’m a small teen author trying to get my book out there, no problem if not? ❤
Where could I find them?
Cozy mystery ❤
What’s your favorite cozy?
I want to do this with my holiday books in December. But I am terrible at wrapping and my hubby won't help
😂😂 the camera can’t tell how badly wrapped they are if that’s what you’re worried about 😘
I would stick them in grocery bags!
@@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore 😂😂 that works too!
Live and Let Chai❤ Ooo Courtney Walsh we love to see it
This Summer Will Be Different is so good! We forgive Carley for her second book. 😂
😂 okay I’m glad to hear you think it was good too!
Oh my gosh... I love Cozies sooo much 😢
They’re such a fun genre! Have you read one that you gave 5 stars?
@@Jordan_elaine well I might be a more generous reviewer than most. Although, I think with cozies it's hard to find a five star when reading the first book in the series because the first books tend to have a lot of world, building/fluff 😁 like one of my favorite series, the magical bakery mysteries, I rated the first book 4 stars. I rated the first book in the Wishcraft Mysteries 5 stars (gave me I dream of Genie vibes) and the first book in the Witch City Mysteries series 5 stars.
@@Jordan_elaine I also gave Death Overdue by Allison Brook 5 stars... But that might be closer to a 4.5 the main character can be a tad frustrating. I'm sure there are others but I can't remember.
@@Rainydayscozyreads my friends who love cozies told me the same thing that it’s hard to find a 5⭐️ with the first book. I have a few series I’m eager to continue so maybe I’ll try to get to them soon
@@Jordan_elaine I hope you do find a 5 star (or multiple 5 stars) when the series you are excited about :)
The Women was so special to me! Then again, I was a small child/preteen during the Vietnam war and my older brothers had to go into the lottery system for recruitment. I won't say anymore... but perhaps going in blind and not lived through it would make it special for you too with fresh eyes.
I hope you enjoy all your reading this month! Next time you can ask your girls to wrap your books, lol!
I imagine that was such a terrifying time! I love that the book was able to make you feel special though. I love that when a book gives you a bit of a hug 🩷
The Women was so good!
I have the same shirt ❤
Twinssss 🩷🩷
“This is their last chance” 😂
We are reading The Women for the in person book club I’m in. We will have to chat about it sometime. 😊
I love that you have an in person book club! 😍
Before I Let Go is amazing!!!!!!
That’s what I keep hearing! Everyone’s getting me so excited about it!
I’m planning to read It starts with us before the movie comes out of It ends with us. I want to read the full story of Colleen Hover before I see the movie adaptation. I also plan to read The Husband Secret by Liane Moriarty before that movie comes out Labor Day weekend.
I’m so excited to see the movie even though I’m sure it will be such a difficult one to watch 😭🩷
@@Jordan_elaine It will be hard to watch but if you read the book I think it will be a little easier. I view it as a Lifetime movie that made it to the big screen…. Yes I’m that old to know that a lifetime movies are hard to watch.
The fact that so many books you recently hauled are ending up on this tbr. 🤭
Right!? I was like, how did I get so lucky!?
Is little white lies a new book from Jennifer Lynn Barnes or from her backlist ??😍
There are two books in the series and it came out in 2018 so it’s not new :)
@@Jordan_elaine that’s the first time I ever saw it 😍 sounds good !!
Heartless Hunter ❤
Live and let chai!!!!!
I didn’t wanna be a total cheater 😂
Foxglove - it’s about time! 👏 Send me all your thoughts. 😆
You know I will 😘
where did you get your friends book cart stickers?!
Her Instagram handle is fureverbooked. She makes the best bookish things! If you don’t have insta let me know and I’ll get you her website
@@Jordan_elaineI was looking at this sticker shop last night, but I didn’t know anything about them. Nice to know they are good!
@@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore you guys can use code jordan10 for a discount!
@@Jordan_elaine Will do, thanks!
❤📚📚❤️
“I know this community loves their witchy books” 😂
Buenos Dias MI Amor ❤
Te amo 🩷
FIRST 😘
LOL…you sound so less than thrilled about the cozy. 😅
😂😂😂 well…..you’re not wrong haha! Hopefully I can find a 5 star cozy soon
