Books Read in July

July was a pretty good month for me in terms of reading, mostly due to the fact I was on holidays for the most part. 
Surprisingly, a lot of the books I read were fairly good, with quite a handful becoming my favourites--for example, the books by Ilona Andrews and Catherynne M. Valente. Sadly, I also read Fifty Shades of Grey, which, as you can probably tell from my last post, I did not enjoy at all.

  1. What did you think of GO ASK ALICE?? I am always curious to hear what people have to say.

    1. I thought it portrayed things in a really over-the-top manner. It was like, "drugs are bad, and here is why" x 100000000000. :-S
