How is it almost August? I am in shock. This was the summer I was supposed to accomplish ALL THE BLOGGING THINGS and…well…I haven’t. Eeep. Plus, this month wasn’t a great month for reading either because I only read 8 books. Funny fact- 4/8 were Sunday Street Team books!

The Thousandth Floor (The Thousandth Floor, #1)

*~In the Blogosphere~*
I was recently inspired by Shannon Miz @ It Starts at Midnight to start keeping track of some of the awesome posts in the blogosphere that I’ve noticed throughout the month! Here are a couple that I specifically wanted to mention.
- The NUMBER ONE post goes to Aentee over at Read at Midnight because she created something called the Pokemon Indigo League #ReadThemAllThon and it is INCREDIBLE.
- I loved Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight’s post on Not Judging a Book by its Title
- I also loved Shannon’s post about turning Blogging Lemons into Lemonade! You need to give this post a read.
- Holly @ The Fox’s Hideaway wrote about unconventional ways (aka not reviews) to promote books!
So, how was your July? Did you read a lot of great books? Let me know in the comments below!
Your July was way more productive than mine, that is for sure. Haha. But yay for challenges in August! Good luck, Nori!
Awesome reading month! I’m dying to read Nevernight. I’m so excited for that book!! Hope you liked it! 😀
It looks like you read some really awesome books this month! And wow you completely rocked the Debut Author Challenge. 🙂
