Spell the Month in Books July 2025

Hi hi all!

Nichijou, Calendar

Welcome all to a shiny new Spell the Month in Books post! This time it is July, the last of the shortiest before we go back to the longer months~

You would think only 4 letters is easy, but haha, nope. I found the L and Y quite soon, then when I went through the manga I read the U, but the J was just not findable and so I went with the author’s name, which turned out to have several hits so I could pick which one to feature~

Shelf-wise, three books are from my OMG-Need-To-Buy shelves and 1 book is from my Read!

If you do this one, which books did you pick? Link me to your post in the comments~

You've Awoken Her by Ann Dávila Cardinal, a face hidden by a book and tentaclesFans of You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight and Your Lonely Nights Are Over will love this thrilling YA horror about a string of disappearances and “accidental” drownings in the Hamptons, the changing relationship between two best friends, and their desperate attempt to not be the next victims of a Lovecraftian monster terrorizing the coastline.

All Gabi wants is to spend the summer in his room, surrounded by his Funkos and books, but with his mom traveling, his bags are packed for the last place he wants to visit—the Hamptons. Staying with his best friend should have him willing to peek out of his cave, but ever since Ruth’s nouveau riche family moved, their friendship has been off.

Surrounded by mansions, country clubs, and Ruth’s new boyfriend, Frost Thurston—the axis that Hampton society orbits around—it doesn’t take long for Gabi to feel completely out of place. But when he witnesses a woman being pulled under the ocean water, and no one—not the police or anyone else in the Hamptons—seems to care, Gabi starts to wonder if maybe the beachside town’s bad vibes are more real than he thought.

As the “accidental” deaths and drownings begin to climb, Gabi knows he’ll need proof to convince Ruth they’re all in danger. And while the Thurston family name keeps rising to the top, along with every fresh body, what’s worst is that all the signs point to something lurking beneath the water—something with tentacles and a thirst for blood. Can Gabi figure out how the two are intertwined and put an end to the string of deaths…before becoming the water’s next victim?
