July Wrap Up 2014

 

 Monthly Wrap up 

 

 July

 

It has been a pretty slow month for me, as much as I try to get back in the swing of things, something else happens to throw me off.  Any way not a lot of reading this month but what I have read have been great. Don’t forget to enter the Col Elliott Competition to win a copy of his book In between the laughter.

May Wrap Up 2014

 

 

 

well may has been slow and problematic with my children and their special needs. I am looking forward to slowing down on my requesting and adding books to my TBR piles.  I have so many to read that it is becoming a chore instead of love.

On the plus side i will have some time to read books that I have really been wanting to read for a while, So I am dedicating June to doing just that. Plus Last Season of True Blood starts this month a bitter sweet time considering i have been obsessed with it for the last few years.

So Here is what I did achieve last month.

March Wrap Up 2014

 

 

 

April has been a bit of a pain for my family, everyone has had the flu since it is changing seasons finally here, plus hubby has broken a rib falling off his motorbike, with all the drama and sickness going around I havn’t had too much of a chance to read.  I am really hoping to get stuck into the books since I have some very exciting looking ones to read.
