That really is quite a mix, good luck with your goals for July.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week
You had a pretty great month! I haven't been able to follow along with too many blogs lately (summer, kids are home, I've been sick for ages and now that I'm getting better, I have SO much to catch up on!!!), so I'm loving the monthly wrap-up posts so I can catch up a little! I liked your review for Introverted Mom; you hit on a few points that helped me make my mind up about reading it (it's probably not something I'll get much out of), so thank you! :) Happy reading in July!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice assortment of books! I've read a few. Katie John books were lots of fun. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThe Pumpkin War Looks Good. I have Waiting for Tom Hanks on my TBR. My weekly update
ReplyDeleteI LOVED The Bridge to Terabithia when I was a kid. One of these days I'll have to read it again.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Wow, you read quite a variety. That's good! I can't wait to read Dessen's novel!
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Whispering Chapters
I can't wait to read Sarah Dessen's new book. I bought it but as usual I haven't gotten to it yet. I love how you have your challenges tracked! I really need to do mine like that. I hope you have a wonderful July.
ReplyDeleteTina @ As Told By Tina
The Bridge to Terebithia is one of those books that still shines in my memories as a favorite, along with a Taste of Blackberries, and Old Yeller (I think all of these made me cry and my parents didn't know how a book could do that to someone). Great job on reading and reviewing so many picture books too.
