July Wrap-Up and August TBR

So July has come to a close, and I am satisfied with how it went.

I successfully completed Camp NaNoWriMo for the first time, we were on vacation the last few days of the month, and while Disney World in July is hot and miserable, it's also quite magical.

I read 4 books this month, which is quite a good amount compared to last month... with just 1 book... pfft. I didn't quite finish BoO, which is a bit disappointing, but NEXT MONTH *raises fist*

Let's get into this, shall we?



Books I finished this month:

The Throne of Fire - Rick Riordan

Rating: 5/5
Overview: In the Kane siblings second adventure, they travel deep into the Duat to revive the sun god Ra.

The Serpent's Shadow - Rick Riordan

Rating: 5/5
Overview: The conclusion to the trilogy. Apophis, the Chaos snake, is rising. The Kanes must save the world.

Demigods and Magicians - Rick Riordan
(so many Rick Riordan books pfffft)

Rating: 5/5
Overview: Three novellas ('The Son of Sobek', 'The Staff of Serapis', and 'The Crown of Ptolemy') where Percy and Annabeth team up with Carter and Sadie. The boys are confused and the girls kick butt. As I expected.

How to Train Your Dragon - Cressida Cowell

Rating: 3.5/5
Overview: It's not the movie. But it's okay.



And now, because August is upon me...

Books I plan to read next month:

The Blood of Olympus - Rick Riordan
Book 5 of the Heroes of Olympus series, I'm sO CLOSE TO FINISHING

Keeper of the Lost Cities - Shannon Messenger
A series that a few friends have recommended, and I'm so excited to read it ^.^

How to be a Pirate - Cressida Cowell
Book 2 of HTTYD

How to Speak Dragonese - Cressida Cowell
Book 3 of HTTYD



Color me excited!
