## Mini Review Monday - July 13, 2026

Bindery refers to a studio, workshop or factory where sheets of (usually) paper are fastened together to make books, but also where gold and other decorative elements are added to the exterior of books, where boxes or slipcases for books are made and where the restoration of books is carried out.

**Books for July:**

1. **MOSS'D IN SPACE* - This is the July Found Family Book Club pick!**
2. CHAOS* - This space romance series is a fave of mine and I’ve been saving this latest installment for when I needed a treat.
3. MAKE ME BETTER* - Gailey is a fave author and normally I would have gobbled this up by now but for some reason I thought it was a fall release and therefore I didn't prioritize the ARC. Whoops!
4. BLACK SALT QUEEN* - I've been meaning to read this fantasy about royalty, romance, and betrayal for awhile and the sequel recently came out so I better get to it!
5. I LOVE YOU DON'T DIE* - I'd intended to read this for Pride Bingo and didn't get there. I adored Song's debut CHLORINE and am looking forward to more of that.
6. THIS PRINCESS KILLS MONSTERS* - Another Pride Bingo fail. I'm very into cozy, comedic fantasy lately so I'm ready to wrap myself up in this one.
7. OUT OF STEP, INTO YOU* - The last of my Pride Bingo intendeds. I thought Burch's debut YA novel a few years ago was seriously underrated, so watch out for me yelling about this one soon.

**Books I'm carrying over from June:** My current reads are Love In A F-cked Up World by Dean Spade and Coldwire* by Chloe Gong.

**Other miscellaneous July reads:** I run an in-person book club that reads spicy books and our July pick is The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, which will be a reread for me. I also read the first chapter of Murder In The Dressing Room* by Holly Star yesterday. There will be other audiobooks because I can't commute without them, but I haven't picked any yet.

Is that a packed enough TBR for you or what!
