July Wrap Up

Hello!

July has been a sunny and really hot month and that has impacted my reading schedule... normally we have at max 25°C but we had weeks above... and up to 38°C so i got a little lazy when i couldn't breath properly^^;;

Now it has been a good month  because i did try to take some times for myself and i will do the same in august to enjoy it while i can but i did manage what i wanted and i did get some books... i can only hope August will be as good!

None.... it was the sales i hoped to find some books for me but with the weather i had to stay inside and when i went everything was sold already or nearly.

   Gifted:

Birgit from The Book Garden made my day by sending me a box of books from her shelves, if you remember she was the one who helped me discover chick lit romance last year thanks to a contest. Now i got a genre i'm fond of YA!! Some complete discovery ( books and authort) and some i really hoped to discover so thank you once again a lot!! ( she even added some earrings so i'm in paradise!!) I hope she will enjoy her package as much as i did when she will receive it.

Challenges:

 Half year is done so where i'm in my goals for the divers challenge i've entered so far:

 For the sport Romance challenge i've entered 8/12 books so since i got several other books that qualify for this one i'm moving to level 2

For the TBR reading Pile 2013 challenge i've entered 39 books already so i guess i will aim for level 4: 40books

I've read 7/10books so i will try to finish this one even if it had been suspended ( perhaps cancelled)

i aimed for 3 books and entered 5 so success

In this challenge we must read a book with a specific kind of creatures which change each month and until now it's a success, topic for July was witch/wizard, interesting topic i had several books that fit this category but i only read 5 this month ( +2 others topics). So a good month but August's Theme is less apalling to me

RAK: 

None received 

Send: two but you will see that on the specific wrap up

Did you have a good July month? Lot of Sun? Full of books?
