Overall Reflection:
Well, I haven't been successful at reading a large number of books. This kind of sucks since it puts me behind in my yearly reading goal. However, I did some necessary work on the blog, much thanks to Rachel from Parajunkee's View. I also got caught up on posting reviews (which I was sorely behind on). I reconnected with some of my blogging friends. Unfortunately, I'm in a really tough class right now which has detracted from reading for pleasure. I hope that things quiet down soon, but I think life is going to be busy for the next few months. I was pleasantly surprised by The Duff: Designated Ugly Fat Friend by Kody Keplinger. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while. I finally picked it up because I needed a lighter read and devoured it quickly. I will definitely be checking out Keplinger's other works in the future. Endlessly (Paranormalcy #3) by Kiersten White was a bit of a disappointment. I just couldn't get into it. I really liked the first book in the series, but haven't really enjoyed the rest of the series as much. The Goddess Legacy (Goddess Test #2.5) by Aimee Carter was another pleasant surprise. It renewed my hope for the next book in the series. Fever (The Chemical Garden #2) by Lauren DeStefano was a sad, but engrossing read. I'm eager to read the next book in the series. Overall, not a great month, but not too shabby either.
