July Summary

I hope to be back, as far as my reading is concerned. Let's see whether I can manage to "come back" where my reviews are concerned. I have already taken a good step towards preparing everything, now all I have to do is polish them up!

Now, I haven't been around much during the past two weeks or so. Besides wrapping up the semester, I was also kind of preoccupied with strep-throat. And my strep-throat didn't go away with just one round of antibiotics, no I had to go through two rounds. And if you've ever taken that many antibiotics, you probably know how tired I was for the past weeks. Now it seems as if I'm finally okay again, so all I have to do is get my energy levels back up. I still sleep 10 hours a day when I don't have to get up for something important in the morning.

In the mean time, I didn't get that much reading done, I think. I read Push by Sapphire, which was so hard to read. I am still shocked! But let's leave that for the review. After that one, I definitely needed some brain candy in form of romance. I've read one short story collection and am now on a novel. After that, my brain should be able to deal with other things again. Push really had a harsh effect on me!

blame game time (July 3)

It is time for another blame game! The blame game was first done by Chris from Stuff As Dreams Are Made On, but I have adapted his rules to fit my needs.

Wendy of Wendy's Minding Spot reviewed Pamela Callow's Damaged, a legal thriller starring a female attorney crossing paths with a serial killer who dismembers girls.

Shanyn of Chick Loves Lit reviewed The Candidates by Inara Scott

Beth of Beth Fish Reads only mentioned Emma Donoghue's Room, but it already has me in for this book!
