Deux Lectrices - a book blog by heather and kaniesha: July 2015

Didn't get any reading done at all this month, much to the surprise of no one. I don't know what it is about summers but I just can't focus on anything. Might have to do with me gaining a love interest and being a bit preoccupied.... nevertheless, I just got back from a mini vacation last night that I really enjoyed. I needed the break from work and the sun on my skin! I'm basically golden now. I love it! Will hopefully get back to books soon, but I don't promise anything!

Summary:

June was kind of a slow month! I was going through some things mentally (another depression relapse, yay!), so I'm just kind of behind and dizzy. From the looks of it, I think I'm going to go ahead and guess that July is going to be a lot better. Fingers crossed! Also definitely check out The Girls of the Kingfisher Club if you like retellings! It's incredible. I need to get more serious about all the challenges I joined in January - I've only hit the half mark on a few even though I've read over 30 books! I can't wait until some more anticipated releases go out this year, ahhhh!!

Monthly Releases: July 2015

As of August 2014, Monthly Releases is a way for Heather and Kaniesha to spotlight their anticipated books for the upcoming month instead of the weekly Waiting on Wednesdays.

Kaniesha's:

Just two for July, both of which I am immensely waiting for! I think I'll go out and get The Heart of Betrayal as soon as it releases!

Heather's:

Three again! I've only just started both the Laundry Files and Newsflesh series, but I'm enjoying them so far. I read Ready Player One last year, I believe, and liked it enough to await Armada's publication.
