July, as I've mentioned before, is NOT my favorite month. It's just too hot! Even with a pool it's unbearable. And it seems to go on and on! Am I right? Anywho, I'm glad Dewy's 24 Hour Readathon decided to do a reverse reathathon. It was nice having something to look forward to and it really upped my reading numbers. I read 4 books for the readathon bringing my books read in July up to 11. I'm so close to reaching my Goodreads goal for the year and I still have so many months to go! Wahoo! Here's what I read.
Phew! Favorite was Bird Box for sure. You must go read this book! Least favorite was Our Souls at Night and All We Ever Wanted but even those were two star reads.
I hate summer. PERIOD. Even with a/c and a pool, it's just too darn hot and, you're right, it goes on FOREVER. Especially here in Arizona. At least you'll start getting cooler temps soon!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on rocking your GR reading goal. I'm 22 books behind on mine. LOL.
Thanks. I’m proud of myself. I don’t know how you do Arizona. The only thing that gets me through summer is the promise of a cold winter.
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but they seem interesting. August is usually the hottest month here in Texas. And my sons birthday is in August. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYay for being close to reaching GR goal!
August is miserable too. I can’t even imagine how it is there.
DeleteI like July just as much as I like the other summer months - I don't. Awesome job with the GR challenge. It's nice to succeed at things. I am not into horror, but I love your enthusiasm for Bird Box.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! You’ve noticed that, huh? I’m pushing the book so hard!
DeleteWhat a great reading month!! Happy August! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBird Box has been on my to-read list forever! I hope you enjoyed all of these!
ReplyDeleteYou should move it up on your list. It’s sooooo good!
DeleteI love Marissa Meyer! How was Wires and Nerve? I think that might be the only one I haven't read yet. Congrats on reading so many books this month! :)

I liked it ok. I prefer the novels though.
DeleteSounds like a good reading month for you and I hate the hot weather too. Adding Bird Box onto my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteYou’d love Bird Box.
DeleteThat's a fabulous month! It will be great when you hit your goal
ReplyDeleteI’m excited! Can’t decide if I should up my goal or just enjoy reaching it.
DeleteYeah I'm kinda over summer lol. Bring on fall. And I've added Bird Box- I need to see what that's all about. :)
ReplyDeleteYou really do! Summer and I never get along.
DeleteYeah, summer and I have never been friends. And, no pool, here - not even a city pool in our town. You had a fabulous reading month, though, heat and all. Mine was around the same but only because I slipped a few children's books in. They always bump up the numbers.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I rarely read children’s books and if I do I forget to count them.
DeleteEven though you don't like July, you read a lot! Congrats! I'm almost done with my Goodreads goal too!
ReplyDeleteGo us!
DeleteLooks like you read a good amount of books in July! It is incredibly hot where I live today - holy moly! Might have to stay inside this weekend (which isn't very easy with a very active and outside-addicted toddler). It's soooo hot. Hope August isn't as hot for you as July!

So far it’s been just as hot. :( being cooped up inside would drive me nuts.
