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!)

• On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves

This one was ohmygoodness one of my favorites of the year. SO. Amazing. 

• Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Not only was this one steamy, it dealt with some issues that were really important and tied together the story very well.

• The Maze Runner by James Dashner

A re-read, and just as amazing the second time through. LOVE this dystopian world.

• The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg

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)

• The Unquiet by Jeannine Garsee

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.

August TBR pile: (excludes audio books, since those are random!)

• The Death Cure by James Dashner
• The Kill Order by James Dashner
• Glitch by Heather Anastasiu 
• Beautiful Disaster by Jaime McGuire
• Inbetween by Tara Fuller
• Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
• Speechless by Hannah Harrington
• Burn For Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian
• The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
• Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel 
• Dearly, Beloved by Lia Habel
• Skinny by Donna Cooner

WOW. Yep. That's 12 books. I have no idea if I'll be able to do that. But I'll definitely try!

July TBR

Hey everyone! I've decided to start showing you guys what I'll be reading this month because I've found that I've gotten pretty good at following my TBR piles. I've been secretly making the list for these past couple of months now, but I was scared to post it because I was sure I wasn't going to follow it. :) But now that I'm pretty good at it, I've come to the conclusion to show you guys!

So July is pretty much Netgalley-catch-up month.


I've been getting so caught up with reading the Harry Potter series and library books that I kind of just.. abandoned the Netgalley pile. Well, more than 75% of my unread titles are released in July. So, I figured it was time to get to them.
*crossed off = done!

(Most likely in this order)

-Don't You Wish by Roxanne St. Clair
-Liesl & Po by Lauren Oliver
-On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves
-The Unquiet by Jeannine Garsee
-Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
-Unwind by Neal Shusterman
-Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

It's 7 books, but I really hope it's doable. My dance classes start this month, and I'll be taking 15 classes a week. I KNOW. It's crazy. I'm SO going to get tired of my Kindle this month...


Anyway. That's my pile this month! Link me to your TBR! =)
