- I had so much fun putting my TBR together for this month! It's a bit of a twist to the popular TBR Jar videos I've been seeing around a lot. Inspired by my Dungeons and Dragons roleplay game campaign, I'm letting my DnD dice decide what I read this month. I also wanted to include some reads for Disability Pride Month. I'm very excited about my pile of possibilities for July, I think it's going to be a great reading month!

I can't wait to get to my TBR this month! What about you? What are you planning to read? Will you take part in Disability Pride Month?
I just started reading Mistborn as well! I hope you enjoy it. Annie Bot is on my TBR.
Oh, nice timing :) I hope you enjoy it too, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
What a fun video! I've been DND curious for a while 😊. How to Lose the Time War,Save the Cat, Yolk, Chouette, and Knife are all on my toppling TBR. I can't wait to hear your thoughts! 🙂
I started Knife on audiobook yesterday. I’m only about half an hour in but it’s an intense read!
This was so fun. I love Mistborn era 1! They’re in my top three series of all time. I’m so excited for you! I’m too much of a mood reader to make monthly TBRs. I’m currently reading Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire. Oh, and I added Out on a Limb to my TBR.
Thanks, so happy you enjoyed the video ^^ I'm so looking forward to reading Mistborn, I've heard only good things about it! I'm very much of a mood reader too, but having this list of books I'm excited to read now as a starting point feels like a good middle ground for me :) I hope you have a good reading month!
Happy reading!
A book I really liked with physical disability rep is Always Only You by Chloe Leise, the FMC has arthritis I think. It's a romance but very interesting the way it plays into her life, she's also autistic.
I think all her books have some kind of disability rep but I only have read that one.
Thanks for the rec, I'll have a look!
Love this incorporation of D&D! If you're looking for a D&D book, there's Dungeons & Drama which I'm probably going to plan to read soon because seems right up the alley of D&D 😂 Excited to see what you think about This is How You Lose The Time War! I've heard many good things about it & the fact that it's a pick from Ellenmade Bookclub means it'll be great!!
So happy you like it ^^ I had so much fun with it (probably because I set it up in a way that meant I'd only pick books I was excited to read 😂)
Thanks for the rec. Someone else mentioned Dungeons & Drama too, so I have it on my list. Would you like to buddy read it together?
Ahah, I've been a bit carried away with the Time War one! Turns out, it's not a book club pick, it's just on Ellen's TBR. It's a pick for another book club, so I think that when she mentioned she was planning to read it, I got overly excited to be reading it at the same time as her and my mind decided it was a double book club book 😅
Omg I can’t wait for you to read Annie Bot! It’s so good!! And was such a pleasant surprise for me!
Nice! I'm only hearing great things about this book, so I'm excited to read it, but I also need to be careful not to hype myself up too much either -- high expectations don't always make for the best reading outcome ^^'
I've been interested in reading Yolk for a while. I probably won't get to it anytime soon, but I would like to pick it up one day. I hope your reads go well.
Thanks, I hope you manage to get to it at some point :) I've been meaning to read it for quite some time too!
Great selection and very fun way to use the dice! 😊 I heard Rochelle talk about Out on a Limb too, and I was definitely inspired to read it by how much she liked it! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on that. The owl... Ok! Why not 😂 How are you finding How to lose the time war so far? It's not a book club pick, but I've started listening to the audiobook. I have Annie Bot on my lists as well, I'm not convinced yet but would love to hear yout thoughts on it if you get to it.
Ahah, I haven't been able to put the (audio)book down :) I've been making good progress on my miniature wand shop while listening to it today, it's been great ^^
Ahah, yeah, the owl one is a bit out there XD Again, sounds kinda outside of my comfort zone, but I remember than Jen Campbell really liked it, and so far, the books I've picked up that she enjoyed, I did too, so I'm willing to giving it a go.
I can't believe the time war one isn't a book club pick!!! I was sooo sure of it XD I think I just got overly excited that you wanted to read it the same month it was picked for another book club! It's strange, I'm 75 pages in and I'm not disliking it, but for the past couple of days, I haven't felt compelled to pick it up. I don't know if it's the book or just my mood that doesn't match it, but overall, it's a bit of a challenging read. It requires a lot of attention and focus (for me at least), I don't think I could read it as an audiobook. Thinking of it, I think my mixed feelings are because I'm forced to read it slowly, when I'm more looking for a book I want to binge right now, so not the book's fault.
@@Curious-Cat That sounds promising! 😊
Of course, I love a bit of weird every now and then!
Haha sorry 😂 it’s kind of a buddy read then! I’m 40% through, and I agree it’s challenging. I don’t know if I understand half of it. But I’m determined to finish it, and I try my best to focus, but sometimes I feel like I’m listening to nonsense. I think tandem would have been good, listening and reading at the same time.
I’m glad your Ollivander’s is coming along 😊
@@ellenmadebookclub Oooh yes, can we make it a buddy read? I think that'll help me to make progress with it. Have you figured out a private messaging solution, so we can discuss it as we go?
@@Curious-Cat Absolutely! I've added an email to my channel description ^^ It will have to do for now! 😄
@@ellenmadebookclub Nice! I just emailed you 😃
I loved how you did your tbr for this month and I LOVE the shirt! Are the dice on your shirt based off of the classes?
Just out of curiosity, how many dice did you have 😅
Also thank you for the little shoutout, I'm so happy that you got to read Out on a Limb and thank you for dming me early and sharing your thoughts ❤🥰
Yeah \o/ so happy you liked it. The shirt is actually my husband's ^^' I borrowed it for the video, it was too perfect! And yes, the dice have little attributes that indicate classes.
I have a set of 7 dice, but I didn't use the D100 for the video.
Of course :) It was fun to have someone to talk about this book to!
@@Curious-Cat I LOVED it! That’s so awesome! I actually have a D&D shirt that has cats dressed up as the different classes. I’ll have to look for it and send you a pic!
I agree! 🥰 love getting to talk about books with others
@@goodmornindreamer ahah yes, pics needed!
@@Curious-Cat I’ll put a reminder for when I get back I home so I can show you ❤️
