July 2014 Wrap Up
Another month gone! This month was busy at work, busy at home, but also quite full of reading. I’m so close to my reading goal for the year already, and it’s only just now August! This was a month of really great books, and some not so great ones. Let’s see where they fell.

Favorite book of the month?
It’s a tie between The Naturals and Fiancee for Hire! They’re in two totally different genres, so I think it’s safe to say I loved them both equally :). I also want to give a shout out to Blackout. It’s deliciously creepy.
That’s it for me. How was you reading month?
