The Little Things
August 3, 2016

July was a great reading month for me, and I’m excited to share some of my favorite reads with you. I read 13 books this month, bringing my total for the year to 69! So, here’s my book list for last month:

Book List July

 

Mindset: I wrote an entire blog post on the book Mindset a few weeks ago. It was excellent, and I think everyone would benefit from reading it. I definitely intend to read it again.

The Nightingale: I have a blog post coming soon about this book. It was most excellent, and probably one of my favorite books of the month! This is a book set in WWII France.

Daring Greatly: This book, written by Brene Brown (check out her TED talks!), is a must read for everyone as well! It’s all about shame and vulnerability, and I loved it!

The Homecoming, One Wish, and A New Hope: Books number 6, 7, and 8 of the Thunder Point Series. One book to go. The series is fun and lighthearted.

Amish Grace: A book written by three professors on the grace and forgiveness expressed by the Amish community and families involved in the shooting at the school house several years ago. It was an incredibly quick read.

Primates of Park Avenue: This book bored me at first, but the end got really real and raw, and I enjoyed it quite a bit! This is one woman’s story of life in New York City.

99 Days: A story about a teen stuck in a love triangle, and is at home for 99 days. The book was written with each “Chapter” as a day. I enjoyed the format and the book.

The Never List: If you like thrillers/suspense, then this book is for you! Melissa had read it and decided that I needed to read it, so I plowed through it one weekend at her house. It was definitely a bit scary, but it held my attention the entire time.

Storm Front: This is book one of The Dresden Files. I’ve heard that the series gets better as it goes along, so I’ll definitely keep reading.

The Vacationers: A Novel: Meh. I just didn’t care for this book. I didn’t feel connected to the characters, and felt the story drag most of the time.

Conviction: The Untold Story of Putting Jodi Arias Behind Bars: I hadn’t heard anything about this book, but randomly found it on my library’s website and decided to give it a go. I found the book fascinating, and loved finding out more about the process of prepping for a huge trial such as this one.

Now it’s your turn to share! What was your favorite read this past month? What should I read next?
