I found this on one of the blogs I follow, Books are the New Black who found it at One Book More. It was originally created by Reviews from the Stacks, and the idea is to spell the month using the first letter of book titles.
July: First Names Jana is still on maternity leave, so we can choose our own topics. That's especially good if you come across a letter that doesn't show up so often. ;)

JCO's novels are always full of suspense, full of psychological meanings, full of interpersonal relationships. This novel is clever as always. The story is twisted and you can't wait for it to come all together, can't wait for the end.

This is one of the most tragic stories I have ever read. As with other classic stories, I had heard about the content, I knew what was going to happen to Uncle Tom, I knew what happened to slaves, how they were sold and tortured, how they would sell spouses and children away from their families. But it's tragic every time again, especially if you put a name to the people involved, if they are described in such a way that they come alive on the paper.L
Kästner, Erich "Lisa and Lottie" (aka The Parent Trap) (GE: Das doppelte Lottchen) - 1949Lisa is a spoiled brat and lives with her single father in Vienna. When she is nine years old, she is sent to a summer camp in Northern Germany. There, she discovers that she seems to have a lookalike. ...
Sounds familiar? I guess almost everyone has watched the movie called "The Parent Trap".

Singer, Isaac Bashevis "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy" (Yidd: נטל בחור ישיבה/Yenṭl der Yeshive-boḥer) - 1983
Unfortunately, this is only a short story, I'm sure Nobel Prize winner Isaac B. Singer would have had more ideas to describe Yentl and her life. But, nevertheless, it is a fantastic story.
