July has been a pretty mellow month. I’ve been able to do a lot of relaxing, which was really nice after the hectic nature of the school year. I have been taking an online course so I haven’t done as much reading as I wanted, but I have managed to read quite a few books, which is nice nonetheless. I also got to read some fun books! I was so excited when I got my two five star reads this month. I also hauled some fun books that I’m really excited about. Below the cut you’ll find all of the books that I read and hauled in July.

June was a busy and hectic month. I read a lot of things and did a lot of things. Most of what I read were graphic novels, which are typically fast reads for me. I lost track of my hauling of books in the last little while, so I’m just going to list all the books that I hauled in May and June below.
I am definitely behind on times when it comes to wrapping up my May reading month. Life got pretty dang hectic for a while there, but things are mellowing out a little bit now so I’m going to try and do some catch up. I read a lot in June, so I think we should probably just jump right into it. You’ll find them all below the cut.
