Whoa, June is gone, July is here, and summer is halfway over!
June was a pretty good month reading-wise. I'm averaging about 1 book a week, which was actually my school-year average. Between going home, youth trips, and summer classes, 1 book a week doesn't seem so bad!June was an especially good month due to all the AMAZING, A+ books I read in a row. Here are some stats:
Number of books: 6
Favorite Read: Wondrous Strange
Least Favorite Read: Forgive My Fins (sorry, but it's true!)
Succeeds in Originality: Sabriel (it's part high fantasy, part alternate history, all creative!)
Succeeds in Imitation: The Iron King (just not enough originality to outweigh all the cliches)
Best Narrator/MC: Grace Divine, The Dark Divine (a girl who is smart, compassionate, not whiny and learns from her mistakes)
Worst Narrator/MC: Lily Sanderson, Forgive My Fins
Best Love Interest: tie between Sonny, Wondrous Strange & Touchstone, Sabriel
Best Wisecracking Sidekick Character: Mogget the talking cat in Sabriel
Author (out of this group) I'd love to hang out with: Lesley Livingston (author of Wondrous Strange)

8 shout-outs!:
i'm kind of jelous i've wanted to read and review Dark Devine, The Iron King, Wonderous Strange and Forgive my fins pretty badly-
I have not read the dark divine yet too!So jealous with you!
I love this whole sum up! I hope you continue doing them. I completely agree - Sabriel blew my expectations and was completely amazing!
Oh, thank you for not making me think I'm the only one who can't read, like, dozens and dozens of book per month, Amelia! LOL. You've read a few awesome books, by the way. :)
I've read The Iron King and The Dark Divine, but I gotta say I enjoyed TIK a lot more! TDD was okay and I do plan on reading the series. (:
Sounds like I need to put Wondrous Strange at the top of my to read list. I have it (and have had it for awhile).
I liked the second half of Iron King more than the first. Dark Divine was interesting.
I haven't read anything by Garth Nix.
Awesome reads! You're lucky to have read all pretty good books with good ratings.
I am about to start reading Wondrous Strange in a few days. Hope you have a great July!
