July Notes
* San Diego Comic Con was fantastic!
* The Summer Reading Diversity Spotlight continues! Every other day this summer, I’m bringing you a book review of a diverse read! So far, I’ve posted 20 reviews though it should be 21 but I’m allowing myself 3 late days in the challenge, so I am not at all sad about being one book behind. I’m sick and my health is more important. Anyway, I’ll be caught up tomorrow. Stay tuned!
* Buy Indie Press continues! This month, I put the spotlight on Adaptive Books, Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing, Entangled Teen, and Bold Strokes Books. Check it out here!
* My latest Loot Crate haul is here!
* I participated in Top Ten Tuesday, detailing the Top Ten Books I’ve Enjoyed That Have Under 2000 Ratings On Goodreads!
* I’m participating in the Virtual Adult Summer Reading Program (#VASRP)! Click for Post One, Post Two, and Post Three!
