July Confessions

Oh my gosh! It's already the end of July?!? It's crazy how quickly the summer goes compared to the winter months. This month I had a good reading month (at least for me!), due to the audio books I supplemented with.  Also, I read some really great books this month and a lot of middle-of-the-road type of reads that left me feeling a bit meh.... Let me know what you think! 

Books Read in July:

1.  Golden Girl by Elin Hilderbrand (Adult Fiction) - 5 out of 5 stars 

2.  That Summer by Jennifer Weiner (Adult Fiction/Audio Book) - 3.5 out of 5 stars

3.  The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman (YA Fantasy) - 3.5 out of 5 stars  - Review to come!

4.  New Girl in Little Cove by Damhnait Monaghan (Adult Fiction/Audio Book) - 3.5 out of 5 stars 

5.  Haven Point by Virginia Hume (Adult Historical Fiction) - 3.5 out of 5 stars 

6.  The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave (Adult Fiction) - 4 out of 5 stars - Review to come!

7.  The Newcomer by Mary Kay Andrews (Adult Fiction) - 3 out of 5 stars 

8.  The Devil and the Heiress by Harper St. George (Adult Romance/Audio Book) - 3.5 out of 5 stars  - Review to come!

9.  A Summer to Remember by Erika Montgomery (Adult Historical Fiction) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - Review to come!

 

1. Favorite Book: Golden Girl was my absolute favorite book. For me, Hilderbrand keeps getting better and better. So good!

 
2.  Biggest Surprise: New Girl in Little Cove was so charming! It was such a cozy read and just what I needed! 

3.  Biggest Disappointment: I didn't love The Newcomer, which is odd, because normally Andrews writes such great beach reads that combine some element of a mystery. For me, this one fell extremely flat.

 
4.  Favorite Post: Blog Tour: Radar Girls

 

5.  Favorite Part of July:  I loved spending a weekend at the shore. It was a much needed break. We also celebrated my son's 9th birthday this month. It's been a busy, but fun month for my family filled with camps, pool time, and celebrations. I can't believe we are already approaching August!
