Recap: June to July

Holy moly. Can you believe that we're already halfway through 2015? I swear it was just New Year's Eve and now we're blasting off fireworks for another occasion. It's crazy! But anyway, here's a recap of all the bookish things that happened in June (no more school means more time for reading!), and what I'm looking forward to in July!

June

Books Read

-Out of Control by Sarah Alderson
-The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie
-Deadfall by Anna Carey
-The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler

Reviews

-The Cage by Megan Shepherd: This was a mess.
-99 Days by Katie Cotugno: Good, but it's hard to put it into words.
-Happy Again by Jennifer E. Smith: Really, really liked it!
-Out of Control by Sarah Alderson: Some issues, but a fun thriller.
-Deadfall by Anna Carey: Something about this series doesn't click, but it's better than book one.
-The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes: I wanted to love this one so bad.
-The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler: Good, but I wanted more.

Favorite Book Read

I didn't love or really like any of the books I read in June (insert sad face here), but if I had to pick a favorite out of them all, it's probably this one (with Out of Control as the runner up, I think).

Book Haul

I got a few good ones this month!

Weekly Posts

I shared what books I'd like to see on the screen (and made movie posters), the books I'm anticipating most for the rest of year, what I'm reading this summer, some of my favorite Top Ten Tuesday topics, and my favorite books of the year (so far).

I waited on a thriller, a time travel book with a setting on a ship, the story of Blackbeard, and a book about Wendy Darling.

New Releases

Here are the three July release I'm anticipating most (and I've already read The Fixer hence why it's not on here)!

July 7, 2015: Umm it's RACHEL CAINE.

July 21, 2015: One of my friends said this was REALLY GOOD and it sounds kind of like The Rules for Disappearing, so I want it.

July 28, 2015: Ooh, new Lisa Schroeder!

How was your June?
