July 2019 Wrap-Up

For the month of July I read a total of 14 books! I devoured the Legend series and participated in The Reading Rush, so that mostly contributed to this month's high number.

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert - Really enjoyed this one! ★★★★
The Legend series by Marie Lu - Overall, the series is entertaining and fun. Legend: ★★★★, Prodigy: ★★★, Champion: ★★★★
Normal People by Sally Rooney - I was really surprised by Normal People. It's a depressing love story that shows the importance of hope. ★★★★★

No Exit by Taylor Adams - I liked the premise but didn't care for the characters. ★★★
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell - Then She Was Gone was another read in which I enjoyed the story line, but I felt like it started to fall apart in the middle and I got bored. ★★★
Wilder Girls by Rory Power - A fantastic read! Creepy, suspenseful and addicting. Wilder Girls definitely lives up to the hype. ★★★★★
The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas - I wasn't a fan of this one. I kept feeling bored while reading. ★★

 
Miracle Creek by Kim Angie - Miracle Creek is a great read that combines family drama, murder and a thrilling courtroom aspect! ★★★★★
Descendant of the Crane by Joan He - I checked out the ebook from my library because I've seen good reviews on it, but the Descendant of the Crane was not my cup of tea. ★★
City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab - This book is a really enjoyable middle grade read. I especially liked the plot. ★★★★

As part of The Reading Rush:

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black - I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! An excellent read. ★★★★★
Carrie by Stephen King - I finally read the book for the first time. I really liked this a lot more than the movies; the book provides additional background on Carrie and what happens after the prom incident. ★★★★★
Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli - I liked the book in general but I'm not a fan of Leah as a character. ★★★
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur - After reading this, I don't understand the hype surrounding the book. I'm not a big poetry reader, but I don't see how the majority of the pieces are considered poems. ★★
