Monthly Rundown: July 2013

So, can someone please tell me where July went? For that matter, where is 2013 going? I feel like the year is flying by.

Anywho, on a bookish note, my reading wasn’t all that impressive for July. I had planned to read about a dozen books for the month and ended up reading only half that. So.. yeah. I had gorged myself on a few Pride and Prejudice variations in June and for some reason, after finishing one in the beginning of July I found myself not really reading for a while. Then, out of nowhere I had a burning desire to finally get caught up with a series that I had started back in 2011, so I bought the first ten books in the series and have been reading those non-stop since.

That being said, my reads for July are:

1. Memory, Volume 2 by Linda Wells
2. Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed #1) by Lara Adrian
3. Kiss of Crimson (Midnight Breed #2) by Lara Adrian
4. Midnight Awakening (Midnight Breed #3) by Lara Adrian
5. Midnight Rising (Midnight Breed #4) by Lara Adrian
6. Veil of Midnight (Midnight Breed #5) by Lara Adrian

Those first five books of the Midnight Breed series were all re-reads for me, but well… vampires. What can I say? I’ve been reading the rest of the books non-stop since. I’m actually about to start the tenth book in the series and have ordered the eleventh so I can be instantly caught up when I finish. Then I just have to wait until NEXT YEAR for the newest release. I hate waiting, but again… vampires. Gotta love ’em.

My reading plans for August are pretty straightforward. I’ve read 5 books so far this month, and the other definite reads are the last two books of the series I mentioned above. I’d also like to finish reading A Game of Thrones. I’ve barely scratched the surface since starting it in July, but what I’ve read thus far I have loved. Cannot wait to see what happens there.

I have a few other books I started back in June, but put down for some reason so I’m planning to finish those as well. Bloodlines among them which, considering my love for the Vampire Academy series I can’t believe I haven’t finished yet. I also have a HUGE pile of new books to dig into since, even though I haven’t really been reading a whole lot, my ability to spend tons of money on books hasn’t decreased on iota. So many books, so little time.

Until next time, Happy Reading!!!
