July 2017 Wrap Up

Jen

I had such a fantastic reading month in July! I finished up so many books and cleared out my currently reading shelf as well as managing to complete two series!! There were also a few books that I hadn’t planned on reading at all, but for a while, all I was in the mood for was to read books and then watch their adaptations!

I did fall off the rails in the last week of July and neglected my reading in favour of catching up on months of unwatched TV. But I’m still so happy with what I read. However I think that the bigger accomplishment was the fact that I added only one new book to my physical TBR pile while reading 10 of my unread books! That means I decreased my TBR pile by 9 books, and that hasn’t happened once in the past three years! Feeling so proud of myself!

I kept picking up books, reading a little bit, then moving onto something else. I just couldn't stick to the one book! I did manage to finish one at least.
