Where is the summer going?! I actually found a lot of time to read in July and managed to not only get back on track for my year reading goal but I think I'm 4 books AHEAD. Woo-hoo! Thanks to everyone who recommended me books, I might not always end up liking the picks but I cherish the opportunity to see what you all like and to veer away from my usual sub-genres. August is a Kindle Freebie month, oh the varied ways this can go off track, hahah. Hopeful I can find some hidden gems and pass them along to you!
Links are to my review or the book page if I didn't write one and the Recommended picks are in italics.

Almost made the goal of 20 books. Looks like a little bit more of a mediocre month for me with 8 - 2 stars (ok) rated. Having a 4.5 one though, is always a good feeling, especially if you're a rating Grinch like me ;)
