Monthly Wrap Up for July 2013

Hello everyone! Today I am doing my monthly wrap up post for July. I read 4 books last month, and one of them was a re read for me. They were also all fantasy books, which made me kind of happy. I did not have much time to read last month, but hopefully I will this month. I know I have been saying that for a few months now, but summer is busy for me and I don't have much time to read *cries!*



Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins was the first book I read in July. This is the 3rd (and last I think) book in the Hex Hall series. I really loved everything about this book and this series is now one of my favorites. This was a great book and it never ever had a dull moment in it. I could not put this book down while I was reading it.

School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins. This is a spin off book to the Hex Hall series featuring a new main character. I was really excited to read this since I loved Hex Hall so much and I had really high expectations for it. Unfortunately this book was not as good as I thought it was going to be. It was not even comparable to Hex Hall and I didn't really enjoy reading this at all. You can read my review for School Spirits here.





Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. This book was a re read for me this month. This was my 3rd time reading this book and I was really excited to re read it again. This is one of my all time favorite book series. I love the world that Richelle Mead has created in this series and it's truly amazing how great this books are. Right now I am reading Frostbite, which is the second book in the series.






The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa. I picked this book up because I love this author's other series, The Iron Fey. I was a little reluctant to read this because it's a dystopian book about vampires. I am kind of tired and over the vampire books (besides vampire academy lol) and I am also really picky about which kind of dystopian books I like. I heard this book was really good though, so I decided to give it a go. Sadly, I did not like this book at all and I don't even know how I got through all 400+ pages of it. I have not done a review on this book yet, but if I decide to do one I will elaborate more on why I didn't like it then.



This is all for my July wrap up post. Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Book Haul #6

Today I am going to share a book haul with you of the books I bought in the month of May! I got a BN gift card as a wedding gift from my wonderful cousin Mikey so I went a little crazy and bought 4 books from Barnes and Nobel a few days ago. I also bought a book in the beginning of the month as well, so I thought that I would include it in this haul since I have not read it yet.

If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch. This is a newer release book from this year that I thought sounded really interesting. It's about a girl who has lived with her sister and mentally ill mother in a camper in the woods all her life until her mom goes missing. Anything that says or has mentally ill things in it immediately attracts my attention because I find those topics really interesting for some reason. This will be a book that I will definitely do a review on once I read it!

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I have heard so, so many great things about this book. I have always wanted to pick it up but I have never remembered seeing it in stores and I kept forgetting about it while shopping online. A lot of book tubers on youtube rave about this book so I am really happy that I finally purchased it.

Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan. This is also a newer release book that I am so excited to read. I really loved Andrea Cremer's Nightshade book even though I didn't continue with the rest of the series, and I have always wanted to read more from David Levithan. This book sounds so great and I can't wait!

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins. This is another book that I've heard good things about but kept forgetting to pick it up. I'm glad I finally did because I'm really in the mood for a great fantasy book and this one sounds perfect. I just finished the last book in the Shadowfalls series by C.C Hunter and when I read the description of this one it kind of reminded me of it a little bit so I got super excited.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithian. I know I just said this but I really wanted to read more from David Levithan so that is one of the reasons I picked this one up. I've heard it's really great and I never seen the movie for it either so I'm excited.

That is all for my book haul, I hope you all enjoyed and Happy Reading. :)
