July Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam here.
It’s my birthday!! I’ll be working today, but tomorrow after work, David and I will be heading to Gen Con, so that’s like my birthday present to myself: four days of tabletop games and geeking out with other awesome people. I look forward to this every single year. But first, let’s talk about today’s post topic, which is books read in the month of July.
Okay, so July was actually a pretty darn good month for reading, and I’m really happy about that. How good, you ask….Well, I did complete 24 books this month, which honestly feels amazing. As with all other monthly wrap-up posts, if I already have the review posted then I will include the link, and if the review is just scheduled for a specific upcoming date, then I’ll include that after my rating. Anything else and I’ll either have to wait for an opening in the possibly distant future, or I’ll have to just write up and schedule bonus posts.
Anyway, we have a lot to talk about, so we might as well get started now.

There you have it…all the books I finished reading in the month of July. I’m already in the middle of some other books, and should be finishing them very soon, so hopefully August will also be a productive reading month.
Goodreads is telling me that I only need to read like 1.5 books per month for the rest of the year to complete my reading challenge goal…which probably means that I need to increase my goal, since I’ll definitely be passing the original goal number in August.
What books did you read last month? Anything I should be picking up?
Well, that’s all from me for now. David and I will be back later with our regularly scheduled Tabletop Tuesday post. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
