This month looks like a bit of a doozy, but I’m actually proud to announce that I set myself a goal of only purchasing ebooks that were on sale, and BOTM books… and I succeeded! Well, almost.

As you can see, I had a pretty awesome reading month in July! I finished 10 books (which was more than my goal of 8), I read 7/9 of my June TBR choices, and all of my reads were 4- or 5-star reads except 2 of them! I also was planning on 50% of my June reads being ARCs, and I surpassed that by 10%. (Hey, it’s the small victories!)

July 1, 2017That’s an impressive amount of books you’ve read! I’ve only read Percy Jackson from all of them but I’ll definitely make sure to check the rest!

July 1, 2017I’m glad you had a good reading month in June, and I hope July is just as great! I also got Once and For All by Dessen. I got The Last Star by Yancey and Everything, Everything in June too. Most of my other books were from the library!

July 2, 2017Looks like a great month! I need to start using my kindle more… For some reason I have a problem with it. I like it and everything, but I don’t use it as much as I should.. I don’t know. Haha.

July 3, 2017I go through spells! Sometimes I use it daily and sometimes I don’t touch it for two weeks. I guess it depends on my mood. It’s just so handy for reading in bed or in the car, though.
