July Recap

Time to reflect on my month! 

Okay, July was not my most eventful month! I hung out with my friends quite a bit--going swimming, to the movies, out to eat, etc. I also went to Silver Dollar City (which is a theme park near me), and I saw Kian Lawley & Jc Caylen (famous YouTubers) on tour. 

Thanks to BookTube-A-Thon, I did much more reading than usual, which is wonderful! However, there was a point that I slipped into a blogging slump and had a lot of trouble finding the motivation to blog. I've conquered that, though, and I've come back with lots of fun stuff planned for August! 

ANYWAY.

And I Darken by Kiersten White

This is a re-read, but I don't care. It was still incredible! 

Last month's TBR: 

I read 3/4 books I'd planned to read in July, so I did a pretty good job!

This month's TBR:

The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler | The Reader by Traci Chee | Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver | Live and Let Psi by D.R. Rosensteel

School starts back up this month so I honestly have no clue how much reading I'll get done, but hopefully I'll get through all of these!

Here is my most popular video this month! I'll be (ideally) posting twice a week. Make sure to subscribe to me if you want to stay updated on when and what I post! If you have a YouTube channel, send me your link because I wanna see whatchya got!

Music: So I'm probably a little late to the party on these, but here are two of my favorite songs that I discovered this month!  Lost Boy - Ruth B Cecelia and the Satellite - Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness  TV: I have been all about Glee this month! I'm so addicted to this show. It was getting a bit out of hand (I watched 3 seasons in less than a week) so I had to force myself to take a break, but now I'm back at it. I'm on season 5 now and even though it's kind of a mess right now, I don't want it to be over!  Movies: There have been so many wonderful movies released lately, and though I haven't seen all the ones I want to (Finding Dory, I'm looking at you), I have seen a few that were amazing!  The Shallows, which is basically about a shark attack, is SO. TENSE. I kind of expected it to be really stupid, but it kept me on the edge of my seat.  I also saw the new Purge movie and holy crap is it twisted! The previous Purge movies were child's play in comparison. It's about election year, so there's politics and just so much crazy shit going down. 

What has your month looked like?
