July Wrapup + August TBR!

Hey everyone, and welcome to my July Wrapup + August TBR! I decided to combine the two since this post is already a couple of days late.. But July was INSANE (insane is my word of the month). I read a lot of awesome books!! I've decided to do things a little differently; I'll only include:

  • My top favorites
  • Most disappointing reads
  • Link up my Weekly Book Hauls
Here we go!

Top Favorites of July: (links lead to my review!)
This one was ohmygoodness one of my favorites of the year. SO. Amazing. 
Not only was this one steamy, it dealt with some issues that were really important and tied together the story very well.
A re-read, and just as amazing the second time through. LOVE this dystopian world.
Such a cute, adorable book! One of my favs of 2012 for sure!
  • The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
*Review up soon*. This was like even better than book one. Serious.

Most Disappointing Read: (links lead to my review)
I wasn't exactly expecting much out of this one, since I hadn't heard much about it, but this was the lowest rating of the month.

Time for the August TBR! I managed to complete all but one book last month, so I think I'm doing great! I have so many review books to get done with this month. It's pretty much the last month of summer (GASP) and I won't have as much time to read.

  • The Kill Order by James Dashner
  • Glitch by Heather Anastasiu 
  • Beautiful Disaster by Jaime McGuire

  1. You read some really fabulous books in July, Jen! I loved Pushing the Limits and The Catastrophic History of You and Me, both were seriously awesome contemporary reads. And The Maze Runner is one of my all time favorites! I have like a bajillion review books to get through in August, since school unfortunately starts, and I want to get done with all of them. I'll be looking forward to all your reviews! <3
