I didn’t blog nearly as much as I wanted to last month, but July was my best reading month of 2016 so far, so that’s something! BOOKS READ I read eight books this month! Seven were physical, and one was an ebook. That is quite good for me.

I want to apologize for the lack of posts this month! I have been absolutely terrible keeping up with book reviews, and really, all posts in general.

This is quite late, being that we’re almost done with April, and I’m just now getting around to writing about March’s classic, but…oh well? Hopefully I’ll have April’s post up before May 20th! lol March’s Book: Originally Published: 1949 My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 Synopsis: The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell’s prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great… Read More
February was the first month that I participated in The Pretty Books’ 2016 Classics Challenge, which is where each month you read at least one classic book of your choice. February’s Book: Originally Published: 1678 My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Synopsis: Often rated as important as the Bible as a Christian document, this famous story of man’s progress through life in search of salvation remains one of the most entertaining allegories of faith ever written.
