I am so glad that I could give you a good list!!! I have been known to write down my selections and pull one out of a hat - blindly.
Hi Tonya! So I started your picks last night, but wasn't able to finish them and then I logged on this morning and noticed you added a *few* more picks! LOL So if there are any here that shouldn't be, just let me know and I'll repick! Hopefully you find some fun reads here for July!

I am so sorry! I'm on it right now!
My picks for Carrie! Enjoy! :D1 Mocha - Coffee & Chocolate! What's not to love?
The Mocha Drinker is still a bit of a kid at heart, as is evidenced by their preference for a coffee drink that doesn’t really taste like coffee. The Mocha Drinker can be identified by their friendly, outgoing attitude and penchant for showing you pictures of their pets. They’re totally adorable and one of the greatest friends. If you ever invite a Mocha Drinker out to dinner, you can be sure you’ll always have a friend with whom to split dessert!
Recommend a book that has a child or an animal in the story or the cover.
TBR: Eragon
NEW: The Unexpected Everything
2 Americano - Espresso + Hot water
The Americano Drinker is the type of person who imagines themselves to be edgy, but is really just a big teddy bear, because let’s face it, the Americano is just watered-down regular coffee. The Americano Drinker’s favorite hobbies include writing their ambitious screenplays in a Moleskin journal, attending concerts for bands that were popular two years ago, and foreign films that they will over-explain to you!
Recommend a book with a creative cover or a book with a character that speaks a foreign language or one with a character that works in the entertainment industry
TBR: Lord of the Fading Lands
NEW: The Sun Is Also a Star
3 Shaken Iced Tea
Introducing the Shaken Iced Tea Drinker, the girl who looks better in those Fabletics fashions than Kate Hudson herself. She walks or bikes everywhere, not only for her own health, but for the health of the environment, and has some tattoo on her body that she got when she was backpacking through Asia. She can master the most advanced of yoga poses without breaking a sweat. You’d hate her if she weren’t so nice, but it’s her kind heart and good soul that make her a must in your friend file.
Recommend a book with a hottie on the cover or with a character involved in eco-friendliness or a character that spends a lot of time outdoors.
TBR: The Deal
NEW: Love, Life, and the List
4 Cappuccino
Are you lusting over the Chanel runway or saving your cash for an investment pair of Prada pumps? Sophisticated and sexy, the Cappuccino Drinker oozes international appeal. With a keen eye for detail and a perfectionist streak, Cappuccino Drinkers live life on their terms and in style. They imagine themselves to be a bit more European than most, and love the finer things in life, so if you’re thinking of dating a Cappuccino Drinker, be prepared to shell out some cash!
Recommend a book with a rich character or one with a clothing accessory on the cover or a book set in Europe
TBR: Love & Gelato
NEW: Love à la Mode
5 Flat White - Espresso + Steamed Milk + Foam
Ah, the Flat White, a drink that is huge in Australia and which many coffee connoisseurs take very seriously! While most people with taste buds know that a Flat White is pretty terrible, the Flat White Drinker insists upon its merits. That stubbornness is a major trait of this coffee addict, who will debate you on any subject, especially the nerd specialties: books, music, movies, history, and TV. The Flat White Drinker has a few skeletons in the closet, though: while they talk about all their favorite independent coffee shops, they hold a secret Starbucks addiction that could destroy their whole street cred.
Recommend a book with a white cover or one with a nerdy character
TBR: The Only Story
NEW: What If It's Us
6 Espresso
If the Espresso Drinker isn’t your Italian grandpa, they’re the person you’ve always been a bit too intimidated to talk to. Espresso Drinkers are leaders of the pack, and they never take no for an answer. They feel the need to show off a bit more (the proof is in the tiny cups), which is why you might see them eating or smoking outside, a brooding-yet-sexy look on their face. If you’re looking for flattery, you won’t get it from the Espresso Drinker: they’re straightforward to the point of bluntness, and have hurt more than a few people in their life with their refusal to sugarcoat.
Recommend a book with an alpha male/ female or a book that starts with a letter from "ESPRESSO".
TBR: Ella Enchanted
NEW: See You at Harry's
7 Latte
Latte Drinkers are all about the Look, and are your ideal choice for interior design or fashion, because they understand beauty and the effort it requires. Sweet and honest, the Latte Drinker is an urban dweller with a suburban core, meaning that they love the conveniences they get in the big city, but keep to their close circle of friends and family and enjoy a little bit more chill time. Catch them living some of their fabulous life on their endless Instagram shots, and remember that if you need a bit of help picking out that first date or job interview outfit, the Latte Drinker has your back.
Recommend a book with an urban setting or a character who is active on social media.
NEW: All the Bright Places
8 Seasonal Drinks
Big kids at heart, Seasonal Drinkers still love traditions that make them feel warm and fuzzy inside, like trick-or-treating or watching a certain Christmas movie on Christmas Eve. Their excitement is infectious, and they are some of the best people to have around when you’re feeling low, because their optimistic outlook is just what you need. Seasonal Drinkers may be a bit overzealous in the affections, and tend to fall in love easily. Lovers and not fighters, Seasonal Drinkers have been there and done that, but that won’t stop them from taking chances again and again.
Recommend a book with "Insta love" (or MCs have instant attraction towards one another) or a book with anything seasonal in it (holidays/ sporting events/ once-a-year activities etc.)
NEW: 10 Blind Dates
