Updates: July 2015 Wrap-Up!

01 August 5 Comments
It is the first of August and that means time for a July wrap-up! I started school again after a nice relaxing week where I read like crazy and I had TONS of blog tours this month. Hopefully you guys enjoyed that and seeing these amazing books! 

 As Darkness Gathers by Emma Elliot. After a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness, Finch believes her life will go back to normal. When she realizes that someone is deliberately trying to kill her, she turns to Clay, one of the men who survived the plane crash. Will they catch the person before they strike again?

Faking Perfect by Rebecca Phillips

Faking Perfect by Rebecca Phillips

Goodreads Synopsis
When Lexi Shaw seduced Oakfield High's resident bad boy Tyler Flynn at the beginning of senior year, he seemed perfectly okay with her rules:

1. Avoid her at school.
2. Keep his mouth shut about what they do together.
3. Never tease her about her friend (and unrequited crush) Ben.

Because with his integrity and values and golden boy looks, Ben can never find out about what she’s been doing behind closed doors with Tyler. Or that her mom’s too busy drinking and chasing losers to pay the bills. Or that Lexi’s dad hasn’t been a part of her life for the last thirteen years. But with Tyler suddenly breaking the rules, Ben asking her out, and her dad back in the picture, how long will she be able to go on faking perfect?

Tomorrow is the start of June (and the #TBRTakedown) and I am more than happy to start a new month of reading! I have a lot of books to get through and I am hoping to clear off another 20-25 of my TBR pile! I do have exams at the end of the month though, so I will probably slow down then and pick up after I finish them. Luckily it is only three days but still. Anyway, I have posted my list for the #TBRTakedown, but I will still be including those books in my list here.

 So I have a total of 24 books that I am planning on reading this month, but who knows how many I will actually read. I think in May I read 29? That post will be up tomorrow with links to all my reviews and a book to read that is similar to the one I did read. Check that one out tomorrow! Hopefully you guys all got through your May TBR piles and have more to read this month as well!

#TBRTakedown Book List!

June 1-7, 2015: Reading List
Hey guys I'm going to be participating in the #TBRTakedown hosted by Shannon from June 1-7! (As much as possible with my school schedule, at least) There are five categories and I have five books lined up, so without further ado, here are my choices for next week!
"Out of my Comfort Zone"
I am a fan of dystopia novels, but not typically a fan of the older ones that are looking at our society now, so this one should be an interesting read for me!
 
In Most Recent Haul...ish
This is one I had been searching for for a while. I had volumes 2 and 3 but couldn't find volume 1 and then the BookOutlet got one in store and I scooped it up really quickly! 
Note: I changed the challenge name of this one because I had another book haul today but I felt as though this one was the most appropriate for the challenge title.
