I’ve had a pretty good reading month in July. Better than I’ve had in a long time.
Read and Reviewed I read six books this month:
The Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen 4.5/5 Review
The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman 5/5 Review (This was easily my standout read for the month!)
A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin (Audiobook) 4/5 Review
Papertowns by John Green 3/5 Review
The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh 4.5/5 Review
Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray – Review to come closer to release (but I can tell you now that it was awesome!)
I also reviewed two books which I read ages ago but only just got around to transferring the reviews over from Tumblr.
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn 3.5/5 stars Review Cypulchre by Joe McKinnon 3/5 stars Review.
Book Hauls So, earlier in the month I posted my July Book Haul Part One: Yeah that’s a lot of books for just the first half of July, isn’t it? Like an utterly crazy amount of books. And now let me introduce you to Part Two:
oh and Part Three:
I got some super awesome books this month. (A big thank you to Paul Ikin for the beautiful hardback of The Other Side of Eve, Walker Books for the finished copy of The Rest of Us Just Live Here, Bloomsbury Aus for Where the Stars Still Shine, and Allen & Unwin for The Looking Glass House). Man I am so spoiled! You can see more pretty pictures here

Oh! I also got a Facebook page!!! (the other social media kept telling me to). So come along and give me a like maybe?
My August TBR So that’s a pretty big TBR, especially for me, but I am about halfway through The Looking Glass House and maybe a third of the way through The Dinosaur Lords, and I’ve started Armada, so maybe it’s doable. I have zero faith in me.
So how was your month, guys? Read anything particularly good?
Ooh, ambitious TBRs are the best. xD I literally have only, like 6 books left on my TBR. 0_0 I’m not really sure what to do with myself?! CLEARLY I NEED LIBRARY INTENSELY. hehe. But I’m kind of enjoying the knowledge that I’ll actually have zero books on my shelf soon (for the first time in years). Ooh, so much pretty. I love the Crane Wife’s photo! ❤

So I’m actually a full time PhD student and i live off a small scholarship. but i did some teaching for a masters course and i got paid double for being the ‘expert immunologist’ there. it was great because it didnt actually involve any extra work. and so instead of being responsible with it i bought all the books.

not really when it’s winter and you don’t have any heating in your house and you could have bought heating with the money you spent on books…
