So Ramadan started in July which put a stop to my other activities because you know, 18 hours a day without food and water tend to make you less than agreeable to summer activities. So I read. And I read a lot. Okay fine, I usually read a lot but this time, I read even more than that.

Coming in August on Bibliophilic Monologues
At least two movie reviews.
On My Radar
Lots of books reviews.
Quite a number of Bibliophilic Monologues that I promised people.
How was your July in books?
Wow, you really got through a LOT of books! Were they TBR books or new stuff?
14 of them were review novels so I figured I’d get through them now rather than wait till school starts. The rest were from the library and some on my TBR pile. I went crazy. :D
No water? We havn’t had a dry 18 seconds since March! Sorry, Irish joke. it would be a difficult time for me if I was to go through that. Is Eed (?) the celebration at the end? If so I hope you enjoy it. The list is impressive! Its near 1am here so I have to sign off (and do a last little bit of reading), but I will come back to the list. It warrants a second, decent comment. How did you select the reading (apart from reviews)?
Eid, and yes! It’s the celebration at the end where we eat and drink (though no alcohol :P) for um two weeks after. Some of the books I was sent (and requested) for review but I usually don’t read reviews where books are concerned until I’m done reading them. I read the synopses and if that doesn’t impress me, I don’t read it. I give everything the first 100 pages to reel me in.
That’s a tonne of books! Crazy reading!! So happy to see the first three Obernewtyn books there, hope you get around to reviewing them too (if you do, you should leave links for me on mine!).
I will most certainly do!
