Monthly Wrap-up: July 2012 + In A Nutshell: August 2012


This is my first month of really consistent blogging, guys! Woohoo! I have really fallen in love with the book blogging community, I'm looking forward to the many more years to come. As for July, I haven't really gotten into business with my review requests and summer reading because, if you haven't seen my recent posts, then I'm in kind of a reading slump. A bad one, in fact but I still managed to read couple of books over the month and I did love some of it!

Books I reviewed:
1. Storm by Brigid Kemmerer on July 2nd
2. Love's Rhythm by Lexxi Couper on July 4th, this is an Adult book.
3. Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake on July 6th, and I'm looking forward to Girl of Nightmares!
4. Gaia's Secret by Barbara Kloss on July 7th, which I received from the author through Goodreads giveaways and loved! I still have to read it's sequel, The Keeper's Flame.
6. Born At Midnight by C.C. Hunter on July 12th which I also loved!
7. Risking It All by Jennifer Schmidt on July 15th as an early review and this is an Adult book as well.
8. Glitch by Heather Anastasiu on July 17th and this is an early review. The book is coming out this upcoming month of August!
9. Defiance by C.J. Redwine on July 21st which is also an early review. The book is coming out this August as well.
10. Awake At Dawn by C.C. Hunter on July 25th, this is the sequel of Born At Midnight.
11. Halfway To The Grave by Jeanine Frost on July 27th which is an 1 book of the Night Huntress, an Adult series. Loved this one!

Movies I reviewed:
1. Step Up 3D Revolution on July 31st

Stuff I got in the mail:
1. From My Mailbox #2 which is Gaia's Secret by Barbara Kloss
2. Spy Mom: The Adventures of Sally Sin by Beth McMullen. It's a bind-up of Original Sin and To Sin Again. Won this also through Goodreads giveaways, she autographed my copy and gave me some book swag.

Teaser Tuesdays:
2. Through To You by Emily Hainsworth which I still have to finish
4. Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff, I still have to continue on August!

Waiting on Wednesdays:

Small Update on July 5th
Well, classes are starting soon so I can't say much. I am participating on Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-thon, Review Copy Clean-up & The Ultimate Review Challenges though! I'll be adding 2 new additional features in our usual routine here in Everything A-TO-C. Hopefully, I can organize a giveaway for you guys soon.

These are my Young Adult review requests or personal book lists. I do read Adult books from time to time but usually the idea of reading them just pop out of nowhere so I figured I'd come up blank listing them.
