It is kind of an expansion (?) of my favourite memes hosted by the lovely Shelia over at Book Journey!
What I read in July!
What I Reviewed!
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman
Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
Love of the Party by Lauren Barnholdt

Pushing The Limits by Katie McGarry
As you can see this month I tried to post more reviews. The readathon really helped as I read a lot of books = more reviews!
I changed my review style to a What I Loved/What I didn't layout which I feel is better and have had positive feedback on. I would love more opinions!
Challenge Progress!

DeleteThanks for stoppping by :)
I'm listening to I've Got Your Number right now - not sure what I think of it yet.
ReplyDeleteLove your idea of a monthly round-up. I do something similar, called Month in Review, where I recap the books read that month, with reviews linked if done and my progress in the challenges I do.
Have a great week!

I've never mastered audio books- but I loved I've got your number!
DeleteChecked out your month in review I loved the way you structed your post!
Thanks for stoppping by :)
Sophie Kinsella is my go-to girl when I need a fun, light-hearted read. I've Got Your Number was a treat!
ReplyDeleteI loved it- I think it's tied as my seconf favourite of hers!
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
I love Sophie Kinsella and read I've Got Your Number recently. I thought it was really fun. She does a great job with her characters, they always crack me up and rarely get tiresome (for me at least). I love both of the Gayle Forman books you read. I listened to both of them on audio and both narrators were completely brilliant. I love the cover of Second Chance Summer! :)
ReplyDeleteI think her characters really make her stories- they are always realistic and funny!
DeleteI've never clicked with audio books- i'm glad they are well narrated as that can make or break it. They must be powerful in audio form!
The cover really grew on me!
Thanks for stopping by :)
I really enjoyed If I Stay and Where She Went when I read them... I love the new covers on both!
ReplyDeleteI went to buy If I Stay as I had to return my library copy and found yet another cover! It's odd how many I've seen for these two!
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
I thought I've Got Your Number was cute. Thanks for stopping by Book'd out earlier!
ReplyDeleteShelleyrae @ Book'd Out
It was a great quick read :) Glad you enjoyed it too!
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Congrats on the first solid blogging month :) I play around with review styles myself -- sometimes I do a "What I liked, what I didn't like" list, and sometimes I write out paragraphs. It depends on the book and my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI find it easier to lay out my thoughts and cover characters plot etc with bullet pointed what I liked style but I'm sure I'll end up changing again!
Thanks for stopping by :)
