Random Musings of a Bibliophile

I have been participating in this fun event for July and have been able to read so much. I'm all ahead on my blog posts and everything. Rereads: The Chocolate Rose by Laura Florand Shelf Sweeper: Major Crush  by Jennifer Echols The Celestial Globe  and The Jewel of Kalderash  by Marie Rutkoski Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass  by Meg Medina

I'm on a roll with this challenge this year! I've been reading lots of books that have been on my TBR AND rereading. This is the perfect motivator! I would like to be doing even more in both categories, but I unfortunately didn't get as far ahead in my ARC reading by the start of July as I had hoped. Shelf Sweeper Reads: The City in the Lake  by Rachel Neumeier The Lost Conspiracy  by Frances Hardinge Something Real  by Heather Demetrios The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley Rereads: The King of Attolia  by Megan Whalen Turner A Conspiracy of Kings  by Megan Whalen Turner The Chocolate Thief  by Laura Florand The Chocolate Kiss  by Laura Floored I'm rereading Laura Florand's books for ANOTHER event starting on Monday at Chachic's Book Nook :

My friend Shae at Shae Has Left the Room is co-hosting, along with   Beauty and the Bookshel f, a Rereading AND Shelf Sweeper event for the month of July. I participated in the Rereadathon last year and was unable to get as much in as I wanted. I'm hoping to do better this year, and love that it is combined with the Shelf Sweeper concept-reading backlist books that have been on your shelf for too long. Yay! If you want to participate, you can sign up here anytime during the month of July. So what are my goals? Well, they are really not any more specific than to read as many books that fall into these two categories as I can. There are SO MANY books I want to reread. I need to go with whatever I'm in the mood for with that. As for the Shelf Sweeper category: City in the Lake  by Rachel Neumeier and The Lost Conspiracy by Frances Hardinge are my top priorities. Then I have a lot of e-books I bought on special that need to be read.
