Recap: July to August

Reader, I was a very, very bad blogger. I did not get much done in July and this recap will show that. BUT, I am hoping to get caught up and ahead in August, so wish me luck (I'm going to need it)!

July

Books Read

-Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
-Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
-Never Never by Brianna R. Shrum
-The Masked Truth by Kelley Armstrong
-The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

Reviews

-Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard: Kind of meh.

(I told you I was a bad blogger this month.)

Favorite Book Read

Really, the only book I wasn't a big fan of this month was Something Strange and Deadly. And as much as I love the Throne of Glass series, The Assassin's Blade was a reread so I won't count it. As for Never Never--you guys, THIS BOOK.

Book Haul

This month's haul was smaller, but it had some good ones!

Weekly Posts

I shared ten hyped books I own but haven't read, some recent additions to my shelves, books celebrating people of color, and books with characters who are fellow book nerds.

I waited on a western-esque novel, a book with MAPS, a pretty cover, some historical fiction, and a book that sounds deliciously dark and gritty.     

Other Posts

I posted a giveaway for my blog's third birthday, and the blog tour for Adi Alsaid's Never Always Sometimes stopped by.

Events

The Book That Shall Not Be Named discussed Robin Sloan's Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore!

Books to Read

Playing catch-up all month long!

New Releases

Here are the three August releases I'm anticipating most!

August 18, 2015: Ooh, CREEPY.

August 18, 2015: Diving into my ARC soon and I am VERY EXCITED.

August 25, 2015: This sounds pretty interesting, and also, THERE IS A MAP ON THE COVER.

How was your July?
