July 2018 In Review

July has been such a great month! Here are the highlights!

---

 

Books Read

• Storm Front by Jim Butcher: (352 Pages) This was an okay read. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. 3 out of 5
• Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven: (388 Pages) I had soooo many issues with this read. It was, honestly, just plain offensive. 1 out of 5
• Surviving Adam Meade by Shannon Klare: (256 Pages) I haven’t made the official announcement yet, but I am a part of the blog tour for this read! I will post details soon!
• Nevernight by Jay Kristoff: (427 Pages) I didn’t have many expectations when going into this, but it is easily the favorite of the month. 5 out of 5!

 

• The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger: (240 Pages) This was a buddy read with Sara!
• The Color of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J. Harris: (368 Pages) I felt the story in this was a little overshadowed by the focus on the MC, however I felt the MC was brilliantly crafted. 3 out of 5

 

DNF’d

• The Pawn by Skye Warren: Maybe there was a reason this was free? But, this just wasn’t for me and I had to stop about 20% in. Check out Sara’s review, here! I think it pretty well sums everything up.

Highlights

1. One of my amazing friends, Nora, visited and was so lovely to dedicate a whole day to hanging out with me! I got to canoe for the first time, and while half the time was yelling at each other and running into moths, I still had a blast!
2. Front Row for the Hunchback of Notre Dame:

• I was fortunate enough to sit front row for an amazing community production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Like…guys, this was professional quality, and I’m still thinking about it. I was stunned. It was so, so, so amazing.
