Monthly Wrap Up (October 2012)

At the end of each month I write a post containing all the books that I have read in that month. The Gem of the Month is the best book that I read. If, for whatever reason, I read a book but did not post a review, you can find them posted here along with my rating.

I didn't really get through many books this month. Too much uni work.

Monthly Wrap Up (September 2012)

I can't believe the summer is over. It was long and yet it flew by. I am currently back at Uni, without the Internet at home. That is really annoying. I am having to do all of my blogging from the comfort of the university library. If I can get a computer. I don't like lugging my laptop here but iPads do not like Blogger.

Anyway enough moping. Onto what books that I read in the lovely month of September.

Monthly Wrap Up (August 2012)

It has been a month already? Oh boy where has the time gone?

At the end of each month I write a post containing all the books that I have read in that month. The Gem of the Month is the best book that I read. If, for whatever reason, I read a book but did not post a review, you can find them posted here along with my rating.

Well, this month we had the Olympics. If you were living in the UK at the time it was hard not to get swept up in the games fever. Let's say not a lot of reading was done in that time. That was followed by a reading slump. It was probably connected with the games fever. So I got through fewer books than I meant to at the beginning of the month. However, this month ended with a somewhat spontaneous holiday to Spain. The Internet was broken when we arrived so that was six days of lounging around and just reading. I got through 5 books which definitely help bring my count up. As I got through them in a relatively short space of time, they haven't got reviews yet.

Anyway, I am wittering on. Here are the books that I read this month.
I hit my average of nine books in a month, although one I didn't finish so that probably doesn't count.

I got through 9 books this month. Two of them received two stars so it wasn't the best of reading months for me. Hopefully I can have some more enjoyable books in August. Some of these books I plan to review but they haven't been posted yet. This post will be updated when they do.
