July Book Blowout Month in Review

When I first signed up for Blue Archipelago’s July Book Blowout, I challenged myself to read 8 books in July. After reviewing what I read during the month of June, I didn’t feel that 8 would be significantly challenging to me. I up-ed my goal to 10. When July hit, I was excited to get [...]
