Whew! GOODBYE JULY! I love ticking off the awful summer months, because it means that the heat is close to ending (…well, it at least 2 more months where I live), and HALLOWEEN WILL BE UPON US SOON! YES! I live for the fall and Halloween (remember my Halloween Bonanza last year?). I had a pretty awesome July, because I got to go to Disneyland!! YAY! When I’m there, I absorb enough magic to get me through for another month. I’ll be headed back there again in August to recharge (I’m also doing a national park tour of the Southwest!). Anyway, here’s my July wrap-up. Tell me what’s new with you!

One Classic and One ARC Per Month

It’s a personal goal to read a classic and advanced readers copy each month. This month I did even better than I expected!

Classic: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain,  Cannery Row by John Steinback, and Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne

ARC: The Crowns of Croswald by DE Night and Retribution Rails by Erin Bowman
