BYE JULY, HELLO AUGUST!
We’ve never done a wrap-up post on the blog before since we normally give updates in our weekly feature The Week’s Entrée, but since we missed doing said post this week and we always host a monthly international book haul giveaway on Instagram, we figured it’s time to share a wrap-up & our overall monthly book haul! 😀
July was an epic month of bookmail! We finally got a few books that we have been dying to own since forever (yay!) but also received a number of awesome reads from publishers and authors who were generous to send to us in exchange of an honest review/feature.
With that said, here are all the books we received in physical format (click on the covers to learn more about them!):

As to reading, I only read 2 books and 2 manuscripts in July. But in August, I am DETERMINED to read more.
How did July go for you? What new books did you add to your shelves?
I got Children of Blood and Bone, and Strange the Dreamer this July! The covers of Shadow and Bone trilogy look amazing. I have my eye on those books 😀
Ohh, I’m so curious about Strange the Dreamer! Not only does it have a GORGEOUS cover, but everyone seems to love it! Definitely want to get a copy soon too! ♥ And yes! The Shadow and Bone series sound amazing, Leigh Bardugo is a fantastic writer!
