June Month in Review / July Preview


This past month was heavy on features and thinner on reviews. I didn't have a lot of free time to sit down for a length review. There will be a ton in July to make up for it, though, and at least there were a lot of features to keep you occupied, right?

I also launched a brand-new feature, A Twist in the Tail, which spotlights fairy tales, mythology, classic novel retelling, and more!

I've been doing a lot of prep work for the upcoming event Splash into Summer, which I hope you're as excited about as I am!


ONGOING GIVEAWAYS:

*Win 1 of 3 autographed, personalized copies of WHEN YOU WERE HERE by Daisy Whitney!
**Ends tonight!**
*Win 1 copy of THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL by Soman Chainani 
**Ends July 7th**

*Going to start re-read LOST VOICES by Sarah Porter today, then moving on to WAKING STORMS and THE TWICE LOST to complete the series for Splash!

PLANNING TO READ IN JULY:

*All sorts of mermaidy things...but I don't want to commit to titles because my stack is still being narrowed down!

When Splash is winding down, I hope to have time to read these review copies:
