July 2016


July is always a special month for me. It’s true I’m not much fond of summer but July is my birthday month so I can’t help but love him. This July I turned 25 and since then I’m trying not to panic a little bit – I think it is inevitable though. I enjoyed time with friends and family and I stayed most weekends in my grandma’s village. It’s a very peaceful place and I got a lot of reading done because sadly I couldn’t enjoy much time outdoors since hay fever there was (and still is) horrible and everything was covered in pollen, like a blanket of snow. Oh and I also went to the movies and watched Me Before You and Finding Dory. The former was nice and I enjoyed it as I enjoyed the book, but I’m well aware of its problems; Finding Dory was perfect.

I read 7 books in July and all of them were great; more than great actually since the lowest rating I gave was 3 and I had two 5 star-rating books hand to hand. Of the seven books the one I enjoyed less (and I still thought it was a nice read) was A Song for Summer. It was a fast read but full of flat characters. The two best novels I read in July were Fairytales for Wilde Girls, which I’ve been raving about non-stop since I finished it; and The Hero of Ages, the last instalment in the Mistborn trilogy.

Remember at the end of June when I said I was on a book buying ban? Well, that went out of the window. I got a few books for my birthday but I also bought some before that. I hate my lack of will power. I've shared all my new books in my Instagram so I don't see the point in a bookhaul post, but if by any chance you would like to see that, tell me below and I'll get on with it.

I have no much planned for August. I’m going to my grandma’s village as well this month and in terms of my reading I want to finish my Harry Potter re-read as well as get my hands on The Cursed Child which is coming in the mail in the next 10 days or so. I hope I don’t get spoiled. Besides that, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi is also on my TBR for August.

How was your July? What are your plans for August? Any exciting reads planned?

The Gif Tag!

Jess over at My Reading Dress – seriously, go follow her! – tagged me a while ago to do the Gif Tag and I haven’t been able to post it earlier because I have no clue about technology and I couldn’t make the gifs work so I had to investigate a bit. Also, I haven’t read most of the books of the list. I really hope this works out alright so without further ado, let’s get started! Oh, I might have used more than one gif for some of the books...
