Books || July Book Haul/What I've Been Reading



Welcome to my monthly book post where I tell you what books I've purchased and what I've been reading this month:

This month I proudly stuck to working my way through my currently to be read list which is getting rather high and only purchased two new books (which I'd actually pre-ordered months ago, so technically this month I didn't buy any new books sadly for me, but happily for my ever overflowing bookshelves).


Purchased:
Go Set a Watchman - Harper Lee 

Life with a Sprinkle of Glitter - Louise Pentland (Sprinkle of Glitter) 


Review Copies from Netgalley:

Black-Eyed Susans - Julia Heaberlin

Concentr8 - William Sutcliffe


Read: 

Since You've Been Gone - Morgan Matson
Emily is left a list of things to do during the summer, pushing her comfort zone, when she mysteriously disappears Emily is left to complete the list with the hope that it will lead her back to her best friend. 

Geek Girl - Holly Smale 
Fitting in is hard, and sometimes we'll do anything to do it - but that doesn't necessarily mean that its the right thing. Take pride in who you are even if you are a 'geek'

The Sky is Everywhere - Jandy Nelson 
Beautiful story about dealing with grief, finding yourself and love. 

Fire Colour One - Jenny Valentine 


What Milo Saw - Virginia Macgregor
Heart-warming story of a young boy who sees more than everyone around him. I'd recommend for fans of Wonder 

Everyday - David Leviathan 
What would you do if you moved bodies everyday? I have to say I didn't really enjoy this book as much as I'd hoped, I just didn't get on with the main character at all and found the further the book went on the less empathy I had. The concept intrigued me but I wasn't a huge fan of the execution.

Another Day - David Leviathan 
I preferred this retelling to the original personally.

Go Set a Watchman - Harper Lee  
The much anticipated 'sequel' of To Kill a Mockingbird, I'd been waiting for this since its announcement as I am a HUGE fan of Mockingbird (I even had a poster on my wall at uni, full review coming soon. 

Life with a Sprinkle of Glitter - Louise Pentland (sprinkle of glitter) 
Full review coming soon.

Paper Towns - John Green 
What with the movie release coming soon, I HAD to reread the book, naturally. Upon first reading I have to say it was probably my least favourite John Green book, I just really hated Margo. Having seen the movie trailers etc. I thought maybe it was time to give her another chance. Full post on my thoughts whilst rereading coming soon (warning will include spoilers)

Alice's adventures in wonderland and through the looking glass - Lewis Caroll
