Overall Reflection:
Though, I didn't quite reach 5 books this month, I made my monthly goal of 4. Overall, a great month of reading. Now, I know that it may be a little shocking that I put Mockingjay as my biggest disappointment this month, but it's the honest truth. I really was hoping for a little something different. It was very dark and not as enjoyable for me as the previous Hunger Games books. The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May and June and The Body Finder were both surprising reads for me. I was quite shocked at how much I actually enjoyed them! Blameless was by far my most favorite read this month. I just love Gail Carriger's witty voice! I look forward to another great month of reading in October. I have started Twenty Boy Summer in honor of Banned Books week, so keep an eye out for that review! ;) I hope everyone else had an interesting and productive month of reading! :)
