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.
