Welcome to my my July round-up. I know I say the same thing every month but SERIOUSLY, how is it August already!? Insane.
Considering I had a week off at the beginning of July where I didn’t read at all, I still managed to get through 6 books last month. I loved them all apart from Immortal Beloved, but I still want to read the next book because one of the characters was so hot. Is that shallow? The series could get better, right!?
Things that happened in July included my mom coming to visit, taking trip to the seaside and attending the UK’s first ever YA literature convention at London Comic Con. It was another busy but awesome month.
Anyway, on to the stats!
