Sounds like you had a good reading month, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Sarah recently posted…Grave of Angels
Yeah I did. I’m so happy about that, especially since that happens VERY rarely.

Omg, you read so many books this month! I think I had a really bad reading month — especially compared to you lol. I see no 5-stars though, so I guess you didn’t find a super favorite. I have yet to read a singe Ellen Hopkins book. I think I need to change that :D

I’ve read SO many books and I just gave 2 of them 5 stars. I’m a REALLY picky rater/grader ha ha. :P
You definitely MUST change that Becca! Ellen Hopkins’ books are soo good! :D

Oh, I didn’t know you were in Vegas! That’s where I live! I hope you enjoyed yourself :D Was it your first visit? I hope you weren’t here when we were getting a torrential downpour of rain that we pretty much NEVER get…

Ahh, that’s where you live?! We could have maybe met each other and you could have showed me the awesome Las Vegas bookstores! o:
I left right before the huge downpour of rain, thank goodness.

Oh, when I see how many books you read in a month, I immediately feel very small! I only read seven books in August :S
Thank you for another amazing giveaway Kelly and good luck with your school :)

Don’t feel bad! We all get busy. In fact, I think I read only 6 books last month. :P
Thanks! :D
