Rowena: I didn’t get as much reading done as I had hoped in July but I can’t say that I was too mad about that. It was the summer and I was out in playing in the sun…at least I think I was. =)
Here’s what I read back in July.
- Negotiating Point by Adrienne Giordano (3 out of 5)
- That Thing Called Love by Susan Andersen (3.5 out of 5)
- Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols (4.75 out of 5)
- The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Phillips (3 out of 5)
- My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick (4.75 out of 5)
- Call Me Wild by Robin Kaye (3 out of 5)
- Moonglass by Jessi Kirby (4 out of 5)
- Burn by Heath Gibson (2 out of 5)
- A Midsummer’s Nightmare by Kody Keplinger (4 out of 5)
- Double Standards by Judith McNaught (4.75 out of 5)
- Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh (4.75 out of 5)
My favorite read for the month of July has to be Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols, My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick and my re-read of Double Standards by Judith McNaught. The first two are YA/New Adult books that I enjoyed a great deal and the last book is a book that almost nobody that I know likes but I love enough for all of us. My least favorite book from July is without doubt Burn by Heath Gibson. It took me so long to read that book because I just couldn’t get into it. I kept hoping that it’d get better and it never did. Oh well.
Holly: July was a slow reading month for me, too. I read 10 books.
- Riveted by Mejlean Brook
- Starlight by Carrie Lofty
- Serpent’s Kiss by Thea Harrison (re-read)
- That Thing called Love by Susan Andersen
- The Darkest Day by Britt Bury
- A Girl Named Summer by Julie Garwood
- Within Sight by Sarah Mayberry
- Eight Arms to Hold You With by Ally Blue (DNF)
Even though I had a slow month, I had another good month quality wise. I adored Lord’s Fall and Riveted. Both are continuations of series I love. I also really enjoyed the Mayberry and the Garwood. My least favorite read was Eight Arms to Hold You With. It’s an octopus shifter book, so I expected something kind of freaky and dirty. What I got was boring and slow. And not the good kind of slow. Total disappointment. I ended up stopping about halfway through.
How was your July in reading?
