July has been a very interesting month for me. I finally served my 2 month notice period at work and was a free bird again. I also went on a trip to Dubai, which was a very hot trip but it was super fun nonetheless! I am also going to be moving into my hostel/dorm at Uni by the 15th of August. It feels really strange, going back to being a student after almost a year and a half. Yet, I have come to realise that after these two years I will have to work for the rest of my life!! That is enough to give me nightmares. I also completed one year as a book blogger!
As for my life as a reader, I have read 12 books this month! That is a lot of books all things considered (read: travelling, uni shopping, etc). The reviews for all the books won’t be published this month, but I am hoping by mid-week of August all the reviews for the books I read this month should be up.

You’ve read lots of books this month! I’ve read Rebel of the Sands, This Savage Song, My Lady Jane, School of Good and Evil, and the Harry Potter ones. Which one did you enjoy the most, and which one did you enjoy the least? 🙂
Thanks for sharing my post! ❤

I loved them all!!! But if I had to choose I would say I loved This Savage Song the most and least liked Rebel Of The Sands. I am not even considering Harry Potter in the list, that surpasses every book I have read so far ❤️
What about you? Which one did you like the best and the least?
I love your posts and HAD to share at least one! 😁

Hmm, I really liked My Lady Jane and This Savage Song! They’re very different books, but while I gave 3.5 stars to TSS and 4 stars to My Lady Jane, I think I actually prefer TSS… it’s just objectively a more serious book and (I assume) harder to write because of all the world-building going on. Rebel of the Sands would be my least favourite too from this list of three books. 😛
Haha, thanks! You’re too sweet. ❤

Yes I agree! TSS would be more harder to write as compared to My Lady Jane. Rebel Of The Sands was a good book, but it could have been much better!
