This has been me lately.  I honestly, have had the motivation to do absolutely NOTHING most of the time except stick my nose in the ABSOLUTELY wonderful books that I've taken out from the library, gotten from friends, and the one that I've purchased for myself in the last month.  So, here is this month in review!  **Some edits will come later.  I know some links are missing.**

  1. Eighth Grade Bites - Heather Brewer
  2. Wizard of Time - G.L. Breedon
  3. The Moon Dwellers - David Estes (Audio review - given by the Publisher)
I did participate in a Book Photo Challenge, but only made it through I believe the 14th due to the fact that my motivation simply flew away and I spent the rest of the month having the urge to do nothing more than sit on my behind and read.  However, if I attempt another one in August, hopefully it will be more successful!  You can find the link to the photos that I did complete in the sidebar to your right!
