July ’17 Haul & Wrap-up

July 31, 2017

Since last month was such a heavy haul, I went easy on the bank this month and stuck pretty well to my “nothing but kindle sales” book ban. I only purchased one physical book, and a few ebooks; the rest were ARCs and giveaway prizes! My reading this month was awesome, though, so I’ll start with my wrap-up!

    1. Woah!! July has been quite the month for you!! And that haul! You got some amazing books!! I really want to read Daughter of the Burning City!! I can’t wait to see what you think of it!

    1. So. Many. Books! Awesome, I wish I could read that much 🙂
      I really enjoyed ‘The Queen of the Tearling’! It’s not your average Fantasy and the heroine is great, especially in this first book of the trilogy.

    1. Holy Moly! You read so many books! The cover for All the Crooked Saints looks sooo pretty! What was your favorite book you read in July?
