July seems like a million years ago. I'm so busy with school that I haven't read a single book this month. :( I have a ton of assignments and I am trying to stay on top of them, so I'm not sure I'll even read anything this month. So sad, because I really wanted to read 50 books this year. Ok, let's just get on with the books I did read (in July): 


I read The Woman Warrior years ago and didn't really like it. A few months ago, I was cleaning out my desk and found a list of 100 books to read (or something like that) by Jane magazine (remember Jane mag? I totally loved it). Of course, I decided to give it another go and, of course, I still don't really like it. Oh, well. At least I tried.
Another book I didn't love was The Diary of Darcy J. Rhone. I know it's a prequel to Something Borrowed and Something Blue, both books I have not read; which may be the reason why I didn't enjoy it. Idk, it was just not my fav book.
I read Unenchanted on my phone (for free!) and was pleasantly surprised. If you like modern adaptations on fairy tales, then this book is for you. I'm actually looking forward to reading the second book in this series.
And now, for my favorite books this month: The Memory Keeper's Daughter was SO good. I experienced so many emotions while reading this. There were even times when I had to set it aside just to process all these feelings. Yeah, it was pretty deep. If you haven't read it yet, do it!
And, The Thirteenth Tale. This book completely surprised me. Right when I thought I knew what was going on, BAM! Ok, maybe I'm being a tad dramatic, but I definitely was not expecting it to end that way. So, yeah, read it!
