July 2024 TBR--
Tumblr media
It's finally time for my Christmas in July reading! I've been looking forward to it for months because I have FOUR NetGalley ARCs that fit perfectly into my Christmas in July M.O. I'll be reading three Christmas Romances and one Mystery/Thriller set during Christmas. I also have four other books I'm really looking forward to reading in the back half of the month.
The Holiday Honeymoon Switch by Julia McKay (NetGalley)-- The first of my Christmas in July TBR. This is a rom-com where Holly Beech and Ivy Casey, two best friends who are so in sync they even look alike, swap places after Holly's fiancé jilts her and leaves her with a nonrefundable honeymoon. Both find their own romantic matches this holiday season.
Mistletoe Season by Shelia Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, and Pepper Basham (NetGalley)--This is a collection of three Christmas stories: Say No to Mistletoe (author going home for the holidays + romance), Return to Mistletoe (returning home after spending time abroad renovating an Irish castle), and The Mistletoe Prince (Prince is sent to small town North Carolina to prove he's ready for the royal life). I think the one I'm most excited to read is the first, but I'm always down for some Christmas romance.
Christmas in Aspen by Anita Hughes (NetGalley)--Mourning her mother, Caroline Holt returns to her late mother's upstate cabin to spend the holidays. But when she arrives, she discovers a letter addressed to her mother from a man declaring his love for her and saying he'll be waiting for her in front of the Little Red Mailbox in Aspen, Colorado on New Year's Eve. Caroline decides to see her mother's mysterious lover and travels to Aspen. But once she arrives she keeps running into another man and things start to get complicated. This sounds like it's going to be super emotional and character driven.
Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson (NetGalley)-- Another book in the Ernest Cunningham series AND it's set at Christmas sign me the fuck up. I'm ready. I love ending my Christmas in July with a Mystery or Thriller set during Christmas. This one starts when a body drops in front of Ernest's feet during a Christmas pageant. It has the usual writing style that I enjoy so much and has the best end to a synopsis on GoodReads: "This Christmas everyone has a motive. So it's not a matter of who wanted the victim dead--but who got there first."
Teen Titans: Starfire by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo (July release)-- This is the next book in the Teen Titans graphic novel series. They each follow a different Teen Titan before they become a Teen Titan. They've also started getting more interconnected as the series goes on which I enjoy. In this one we follow Kori Anders, who takes part in a clinical trial designed to treat her Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and who discovers some strange powers she's never had before.
Sunny Disposition by Deanna Grey (Kindle)-- My hockey romance for the month. I realized a few months back that I've been reading at least one per month and decided to keep it going for the rest of the year. This is a book from an indie author following a sunshine gamer girl, Naomi, who shares a house with four hockey players and is drawn to a grumpy boy, Finn. There also seems to be a little bit of You've Got Mail Vibes in that he moderates for her online but neither know the other one is involved in the streams.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins-- This one is a reread for me. I've been planning to reread this series since the beginning of the year, but struggled with where I would have the time. I also want to watch all of the movies because I don't think I watched Mockingjay at all (which is weird...that one may be my favorite book). I'm also going to be reading the prequel for the first time (and hopefully watching the movie as well. A dystopian world where children fight to the death. Social commentary. Food. (I swear I get so hungry reading Katniss practically starving in the Games).
Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer-- One I am SO excited to reread before the next book in the series comes out. At least this time I'll go into it knowing it's the first book in a series. We follow a girl who decides to take an office job with a villain because a girl's gotta get paid. There are castles and dragons and a very Grumpy Villain (who's secretly a softy...shhhh). It's so campy and fun and I can't wait to get back into it.
I'm hoping my birthday month reading knocks it out of the park. I'm excited to get back in the holiday mood and end the month with some fun rereads.

“Coral is the past, present, and future of Miami.”
The city of Miami, home to over 400,000 people, is on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Sea levels are predicted to rise anywhere from 10-17 inches by 2040, putting the city’s citizens and unique habitats at risk. At least seven of the more than 30 species of hard corals that inhabit Miami-Dade County reefs are already threatened with extinction.
Founded by Colin Foord and J.D. McKay in 2007, Coral Morphologic blends science and art in a bid to highlight the beauty of Miami’s corals while inspiring the restoration of urban reefs to protect the planet. “Projections of a Coral City” used large-scale projection-mapping to cast macroscopic images of native corals on the Miami concert hall.
“We are living in Atlantis before the flood,” Foord tells Atmos. “The highest natural elevations in Miami are the ancient coral reef ridge. The cement used in our buildings is made by grinding up their limestone fossils. By projecting videos of the corals back onto their ancestors, we portend a future of sea level rise where our concrete buildings submerge to become an artificial reef colonized by corals.
Atmos will be heading to Florida next week with Aspen Ideas Climate to learn more about Miami’s solutions to tackling the climate crisis. In the meantime, head to Coral Morphologic to learn more.

AU-gust 2021 ( Day 3 )
Hipsters
(in which John thinks all his alternate-universe selves have it out for him, & Rodney, for once, is enjoying the eccentricities of his)
.
It’s only when the event horizon winks out and the gate room is deserted that John finally lets out the groan he’s been holding for the last thirty-three hours.
Beside him, Rodney has the gall to laugh. “At least now I know you look good in flannel.”
“McKay,” John mutters under his breath, louder than he originally intended, “Just— Don’t, okay?” 
Of course Rodney doesn’t listen; he never does. “I mean, I’m not entirely surprised about my counterpart. My parents weren’t exactly known for their social conformity, and you’ve met my sister, so you know she’s already one step away from fulfilling that part of her DNA, but you?” He gives John a sideways glance and snorts. “Ronon told me you were a trust-fund baby, but I was expecting more ski trips to Aspen and less. . . skinny jeans.”
John turns around and makes for the stairs, knowing it’s wise to not inform Rodney that the tight pants were one of the few things about their modern, parallel-universe visitors that resembled his own childhood. “Ronon doesn’t know what a trust fund is.”
“He does, actually,” Rodney counters without missing a beat, apparently having no trouble keeping up while continuing his unsolicited, unwanted, commentary. John groans again. “Sateda’s financial infrastructure was pretty sophisticated before, er, the Wraith did their thing. He and Corrigan talk about it all the time.”
“Do you mind?” John complains as he’s elbowed to the side when Rodney insists on entering the transporter first. 
“Where was I? Oh, yes. Your little horn-rimmed glasses. Seriously, Sheppard, I think your counterpart pulled his ensemble right out of a catalog. At least mine had the good sense to eschew the toque.”
The doors open to the eastern residential wing, and this time, John shoulder checks Rodney to get out first. He also chooses not to tell the guy that a beanie would’ve been far better than the flat cap Alternate Rodney wore like he was the world’s most blue-eyed Gatsby.
Okay, so maybe John doesn’t really hate the cap.
It still doesn’t mean he enjoys the fact that Rodney has yet to stop talking about the whole thing. “It’s just fascinating to think that had we been born two decades late, we’d end up like that. Granted, there seems to be no Stargate program in their universe, so working for your government would probably not have been worth it, but being pre-adolescent in the 90s? The DoD incursions must’ve been boring. No wonder I told the CIA to bugger off.”
“Rodney,” John drawled as they reached his quarters. He gave a short, mental command to keep the doors closed so he can lean back and cross his arms. “You do know those two had the hots for each other, right?”
Watching a younger and hipster version of yourself shamelessly check out the equally younger and hipster version of your teammate and best friend is something John’s not likely to forget anytime soon.
Rodney pauses his tirade long enough to look at John like he’s the crazy one. “Yeah, so?” He shrugs before walking past John and through the doors which, surprise, surprise, open against John’s last orders. “I guess there really is no accounting for taste.”
John struggles to keep his balance, not entirely sure if what he just heard was a compliment or not.

𝐢. 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 .
          born  in  a  moderately  comfortable  home  in  chicago  ,  il  ,  marcus  banks  never  really  knew  what  he  wanted  to  do  .  he  could  have  been  the  first  in  his  family  to  go  to  college  ,  especially  since  his  father  went  into  the  army  right  after  high  school  and  his  mom  worked  at  a  mac  counter  in  the  mall  to  give  herself  something  to  do  instead  of  being  a  stay  at  home  mom  .  when  he  was  in  high  school  ,  marcus  was  the  quarterback  for  his  school’s  team  ,  but  he  had  no  interest  in  playing  football  in  college  .  he  does  end  up  going  ,  and  manages  to  get  himself  into  prestigious  hbcu  morehouse  college  in  atlanta  ,  georgia  .  marcus  discovered  that  he  was  unhappy  at  morehouse  and  dropped  out  ,  so  like  most  twenty  year  olds  with  nothing  to  his  name  and  a  single  ticket  to  new  york  ,  marcus  somehow  managed  to  get  a  position  as  an  intern  at  uptown  records  .
          marcus  worked  his  way  up  from  intern  and  eventually  became  a  talent  director  ,  and  this  is  when  he  discovered  his  own  passion  for  music  as  well  as  how  exciting  it  was  to  help  develop  talent  .  while  at  uptown  records  ,  marcus  had  a  hand  in  developing  a  lot  of  the  talent  from  the  90s  ,  such  as  jodeci  and  mary  j .  blige  .  marcus’s  time  at  uptown  came  to  an  end  when  he  decided  that  he  wanted  to  start  his  own  label  ,  which  he  called  kingdom  records  .  through  those  years  ,  he  helped  to  manage  and  produce  tons  of  popular  artists  from  the  late  90s  and  early  2000s  .  although  marcus  enjoyed  his  time  as  a  producer  and  he  watched  as  his  wealth  grew  ,  he  also  knew  that  he  wanted  to  have  a  wife  and  children  .
           he  married  his  wife  ,  jada  long  ,  after  they  met  when  she  came  in  with  her  girl - group  to  become  the  next  big  trio  .  while  the  trio’s  career  didn’t  take  off  ,  jada  managed  to  find  love  with  marcus  and  they  married  after  six  months  of  dating  .  after  being  married  for  three  years  ,  they  welcomed  their  first  child  ,  a  son  named  isaiah  born  in  1993  .  in  1995  ,  jada  and  marcus  were  originally  expecting  twins  ,  but  one  of  them  absorbed  the  other  ,  so  that  explains  why  the  couple  decided  to  name  their  second  son  khaos  .  the  couple  had  one  more  child  ,  a  daughter  they  named  mariah  ,  in  1999  .  marcus  and  jada  settled  with  their  family  in  los  angeles  ,  where  their  company  expanded  and  marcus  started  his  own  music  career  .
          originally  ,  critics  were  skeptical  because  he  was  known  for  managing  and  producing  ,  not  rapping  ,  but  he  released  his  debut  album  in  2001  and  let’s  just  say  that  critics  were  floored  .  the  album  debuted  at  number  one  and  went  2x  platinum  ,  earning  him  his  first  grammy  nomination  .  marcus  continuously  released  music  throughout  the  2000s  and  even  into  the  2010s  ,  which  has  earned  him  18  grammy  wins  and  received  the  commemorative  ‘ salute  to  industry  icons  ’  in  2017  .  marcus  has  since  retired  from  music  after  touring  a  few  times  ,  and  now  mainly  cites  himself  as  a  businessman  .  he  is  the  head  of  banks  enterprises  ,  which  is  the  umbrella  com[any  for  his  restaurants  ,  fashion  line  ,  liquor  brand  ,  and  he  eventually  went  into  television  production  as  well  .
          as  for  their  son  khaos  ,  he’s  got  a  sick  case  of  middle  child  syndrome  .  while  growing  up  ,  he  always  felt  overshadowed  by  his  brother  who  went  into  the  music  industry  and  even  by  his  younger  sister  as  she  had  a  natural  talent  for  gymnastics  .  when  he  was  in  high  school  ,  khaos  played  football  because  it  made  sense  ,  but  he  wasn’t  as  passionate  about  it  as  his  father  .  football  was  never  an  interest  to  khaos  ,  and  he  never  had  an  interest  in  attending  college  for  it  either  (  sound  familiar  ?  )  he  wanted  time  to  figure  out  who  he  was  and  things  of  the  sort  ,  but  his  dad  was  a  stubborn  man  who  barely  let  him  decide  what  he  wanted  despite  the  fact  that  he  allowed  it  for  his  other  children  .  khaos  never  really  knew  how  to  tell  his  dad  that  he  didn’t  want  a  life  as  some  pro - baller  ,  so  he  started  hanging  around  the  wrong  people  .
          when  it  started  , khaos  primarily  hot - boxed  in  his  car  with  his  friends  ,  stayed  out  for  far  too  long  ,  and  occasionally  got  busted  in  the  mansions  that  were  up  for  sale  in  their  neighborhoods  .  to  him  ,  it  was  all  fun  and  games  ,  but  the  laughs  came  to  a  halt  when  his  father  picked  him  up  fueled  with  rage  and  his  mother  had  tears  in  her  eyes  because  he  was  ‘  headed  down  a  dark  path  ’  .  of  course  ,  khaos  never  took  heed  to  what  his  parents  had  to  say  about  anything  ,  so  he  continued  to  act  up  (  you  can  get  snatched  up  )  and  when  he  was  eighteen  his  parents  had  had  enough  when  he  was  placed  on  probation  for  two  and  a  half  years  for  reckless  driving  and  drag  racing  .
           the  heads  of  the  banks  household  decided  that  they  would  have  khaos  complete  his  probation  in  chicago  ,  and  was  made  to  stay  with  his  grandmother  for  the  duration  .  of  course  ,  khaos  was  mad  about  it  ,  but  he  decided  that  he  wouldn’t  stay  in  chicago  once  it  was  over  .  he  was  supposed  to  return  to  california  ,  but  somehow  managed  to  convince  his  parents  that  he’d  be  better  off  moving  to  new  york  ,  and  so  they  let  him  . 
𝐢𝐢. 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 .
now  ,  he  lives  in  new  york  and  pretends  like  he’s  the  ‘ changed ’  son  that  his  parents  want  .  in  reality  he’s  just  doing  whatever  the  hell  he  wants  because  his  parents  made  sure  that  the  media  didn’t  discover  that  he  was  going  in  and  out  of  jail  and  on  probation  for  a  period  of  time  .  he  mainly  lives  the  life  of  a  socialite  ,  taking  random  excursions  around  the  world  when  he  feels  like  it  and  popping  up  in  the  tabloids  because  he’s  having  another  club  night  escapade  .  
𝐢𝐢𝐢. 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲  .
khaos  is  pretty  much  the  epitome  of  a  spoiled  rich  boy  .  he’s  really  arrogant  ,  and  thinks  highly  of  himself  but  he’s  not  really  in  your  face  about  it  .  it  mostly  can  be  seen  in  his  aura  /  his  energy  as  he’s  not  much  of  a  talker  in  the  first  place  .  he  doesn’t  brag  or  boast  about  himself  or  his  family’s  wealth  because  well  ...  there’s  no  need  for  that  .  as  soon  as  people  hear  the  ‘ banks ’  last  name  ,  they  automatically  know  who  he  is  .
he’s  the  most  charming  man  !  he’s  really  chill  and  he  really  likes  conversation  ,  so  watch  as  he  fills  it  with  compliments  but  mainly  to  get  what  he  wants  .  if  he’d  being  honest  ,  he  gets  his  charm  from  his  father  ,  even  though  he  doesn’t  really  want  to  admit  it  ,  and  he  gets  his  incredible  sense  of  humor  from  his  mother  so  chances  are  ,  he’s  gonna  get  what  he  wants  .  
uh  ,  he’s  an  asshole  ,  too  ?  like  he  tends  to  think  he’s  not  ,  but  he  doesn’t  really  care  for  his  dad  and  borderline  would  beat  his  ass  if  he  had  the  chance  to  .  he’s  not  an  asshole  outright  where  he’s  a  standoffish  dick  face  ,  but  khaos  does  have  his  moments  where  his  temper  won’t  be  as  mellow  as  it  usually  is  .
𝐢𝐯. 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬  .
his  family  owns  a  few  houses  around  the  united  states  .  they  have  their  main  house  in  hidden  hills  ,  their  house  in  chicago  ,  two  vacation  homes  in  aspen  and  southampton  ,  and  a  more  ‘ modest ’  home  in  beverly  hills  .  khaos  lives  in  a  loft - style  duplex  condo  in  greenwich  village  .
it’s  my  dream  car (  rip  to  tesla  ig  lol )  ,  but  khaos  drives  primarily  a  porsche  taycan  .  it’s  the  main  car  he  drives  in  nyc  ,  but  back  home  in  california  he  has  a  fleet  of  cars  ranging  from  a  range  rover  ,  bentley  bentayga  ,  rolls - royce  phantom  ,  a  ferrari  548  italian  spider  ,  and  the  beautiful  bugatti  chiron  .
his  fashion  sense  is  primarily  streetwear  .  he  likes  to  dabble  into  luxury  sportswear  as  well  ,  but  mainly  sticks  to  brands  like  supreme  ,  commes  des  garcones  ,  balenciaga  ,  vetements  ,  supreme  ,  off - white  ,  alexander  wang  ,  etc  .  
this  is  so  headass  and  it  fits  his  aesthetic  lmao  ,  but  khaos  wears  a  an  eight  tooth  grill  (  both  top  and  bottom  )  every  single  day  .  ofc  he  takes  them  out  to  be  cleaned  /  brush  his  teeth  ,  but  he  never  leaves  the  house  without  them  and  they’re  valued  at  $45k  each  .
mostly  because  he’s  annoying  ,  his  favorite  thing  to  eat  is  cronuts  and  he’d  literally  fly  back  to  los  angeles  for  the  vegan  cronuts  at  donut  farm  .  that  being  said  ,  he  is  vegan  but  not  annoying  about  it  ...  at  least  i  don’t  think  he  is  lmao  .
a  feminist  !  specifically  ,  an  intersectional  feminist  and  he's  gone  to  the  women’s  march  in  nyc  every  year  since  he  made  the  official  move  ,  and  uh  ,  probably  got  arrested  during  a  peaceful  protest  when  the  ab*rtion  bill  became  a  thing  .

pjo oc; aspen mckay
aspen is the daughter of bacchus.
her mother, helen mckay, is a mortal stage costume designer.
aspen was born in 1992, making her a year older than percy jackson.
aspen went to the wolf house at the age of ten and has been going to camp jupiter ever since.
her demigod powers include some limited control of vegetation, mainly manifesting in an extremely green thumb, being able to befriend any cat (including big ones, like leopards), inducing a temporary insanity over people by touching them, and being able to identify wines easily.
her weapon of choice is a thyrsus.
she does theater at camp and at her school(s), too. she dreams of being a stage actress.
aspen is easy-going, a little eccentric, and often appears to live in her own little world. she loves a good party and is usually in a cheery mood. it might seem like she's incapable of taking anything seriously, but in a tight spot she's a reliable ally (if not in a way you would expect).

July 2024 Wrap Up--
Tumblr media
July was a more productive month than the photo shows. I read four NetGalley ARCs for my Christmas in July and an indie romance as well as the books pictured. Actually, the two books in this photo are my rereads for the month of July. I wanted to get more read during the month, but one of my planned reads was a new release that got pushed back a few months. Let's see the ratings.
Novellas/Short Stories-- 1. Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson (NetGalley)-- 4 stars.
Novels-- 1. Mistletoe Season by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, and Pepper Basham (NetGalley)--2.83 stars.
2. The Holiday Honeymoon Switch by Julia McKay (NetGalley)--4 stars.
3. Christmas in Aspen by Anita Hughes (NetGalley)--2 stars.
4. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins--4 stars (original rating).
5. Sunny Disposition by Deanna Grey-- 2.5 stars.
6. Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer-- 4 stars (original rating).
The average star rating for the month is 3.33 stars. I seriously considered bumping up my rating of Assistant to the Villain because while I was reading I just kept remembering what all of the twists and turns in the book made me feel the first time around. But I ultimately chose to stick with my original rating.

Beyond student loan forgiveness, here’s what the government can do to keep the rising household debt in check
Tumblr media
On Aug. 24, President Biden announced the cancellation of $10,000 in federal student loan debt for most borrowers making less than $125,000 annually. But student loans account for less than 10% of household debt in America, which reached $16.15 trillion during the second quarter of 2022. “We shouldn’t be panicked about the level of household debt right now, but we should be concerned about it,” said Katherine Lucas McKay, associate director at the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program. “I think it’s particularly important for policy leaders and leaders in the financial world to pay attention to who and where we start seeing greater challenges.” Policy plays a vital role in keeping household debt in check. Experts say outdated procedures such as wage garnishment, in which an individual’s earnings are withheld for the payment of a debt, are in dire need of a policy update. A survey found that about 7% of workers in America had their wages garnished, according to the most recent study in 2016. “For folks who have higher debt loads, they’re actually getting their wages garnished or seized at really high rates,” according to Lucia Mattox, senior policy manager at the Center for Responsible Lending. “Currently at the federal level, only $217.50 is protected in someone’s weekly paycheck and that bill hasn’t been updated since the late ’60s.” The government can also play a potential role in reducing certain kinds of borrowings, such as medical debt that is currently held by roughly 23 million Americans. “There’s been a lag in the southeastern states of expanding Medicaid so we know that medical debt is going to be increasing,” said Mattox. “But if there’s a way to expand Medicaid so that folks are better supported in terms of their medical expenses that’s going to be a way to alleviate that burden.” Original Article Here: Read the full article
