July in Review

So I really thought that I would have read more books this summer, so I guess I will really have to step up my reading in August if I want to be able to read 79 more books before the year ends.... although I really don't see it happening I am still going to try! ;)

Favorite Book Read This Month: Ash by Malinda Lo

June in Review

Yeah.... so not only was I a pretty bad blogger this month, but I was also a bad reader. I cannot believe that I only read two books! :( But in my defense at the beginning of the month I had finals, then I had to move back home, I have had to clean out my room to make more room, oh yeah and the evil time consumer that is the Sims 3 lol. I promise to be both a better blogger and reader in July! :)
