I am so far behind in my wrap-ups and reviews. It's not that I haven't been reading, but I just never took the time to get back here to post about what I have been reading. Since I am behind I am just going to list without thumbnails, what I read in June and July, with my rating.
June 2016
1. Used and Rare: Travels in the Book World by Lawrence Goldstone. June 5
This is a book about books, which is something I love! 4 stars.
2. Diary of a Fat Girl by Moira Mugweni June 12
This one was okay. I probably would have loved it if I were a teen. 3 stars
3. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer June 14
I really loved this one, not only because it was about reading, but so much
more about an occupied island during World War 2. 5 stars
4. I Murdered My Library by Linda Grant. June 15
I loved this one and it made me think about owning books. 4 stars
5. Split Second by Douglas E. Richards June 15
I really loved this book. It was scientific but not above my understanding. It was
fast paced and not a boring moment in it. 5 stars
6. The Pulse: An EMP Prepper Survival Tale by Richard Hayden. June 16
This one was interesting but just okay. 3 stars
7. Mail Order Bride Leah (Montana Mail Order Brides #1) June 17
This one was okay, but probably won't continue with the series. 3 stars
8. The Lost Art of Reading: Why Books Matter in a Distracted Time by David L. Ulin
June 21
I really had a hard time finishing this one. I found it quite boring. 2 stars
9. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes June 28
I really did not like this one at all. The main character was a total idiot and I couldn't
wait to get it finished. 2 stars.
10. The Vegetarian by Han Kang June 30
I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. It really has nothing to do
with being a vegetarian. 4 stars
July 2016
1. When I'm Gone by Emily Bleeker July 7
I liked this one a lot and I really didn't see the twist coming. 4 stars
2. Plague by Victor Methos July 13
I liked this one but I think I was too generous in the rating. 4 stars
3. Innocence by Dean Koontz June 17
This was not one of the better Koontz I've read but it was ok. 3 stars
4. Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan July 23
I really liked this one even though it was not what I expected. 4 stars
5. The Museum of Literary Souls by John Connolly July 26
I really loved this one and wished it were longer. 5 stars
6. Q's Legacy by Helene Hanff July 27
I like Ms. Hanff's writing and this was interesting. 4 stars
7. Why Read by Mark Edmundson July 30
This one had boring parts, but overall it was pretty good 3 stars
8. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gillman July 30
I really loved this one. The way the author slowly showed
her characters descent into madness was inspired. 5 stars.
