1. Vacation: Since many people take their vacations this time of year, read a book in which the main characters take theirs. You could read a book with a title that sounds like a vacation place.
2.National Anti-boredom Month: July is National Anti-Boredom Month. Let's not get bored by reading a book that you're excited about and that excites you enough to rate it four stars.
3.More Than 31 Flavors: July is National Ice Cream Month. Read a book that celebrates ice cream. You can look here at facts about ice cream and use one of these, or you could read a book that reminds you of ice cream in a unique way. https://www.ecreamery.com/amazingly-s...

6.Hot!Hot!Hot!: Since July is full of hot days and there is a holiday called Sidewalk Egg Frying Day, let's read a book that features hot weather, is set in a hot place, or has a cover that reminds you of hot weather.
