I had a very good month! I had enjoyed all of my books this month and all of them but one was a 4 star! I didn't really stick to my TBR that much this month because I forgot to add in the books I was bringing on vacation. So most of my TBR from July has shifted to August.

I realize this a very ambitious TBR for August but I'm really excited to get all of these reads in before school starts. I do start my job regularly this month and I have to finish up my summer homework. I also have driving lessons because I can get my license this month. I am going to my grandparents house for a few days and I can easily finish so many books there because it's so peaceful at their house. I do realize that some of these books are quite large (aka It) but I want to get through the chunkier books before school but it all depends if my local library has some of these because I don't own all of these books so I'm going to try my hardest to finish all of these!
Update 8/2/17: I have already DNF'd 2 books this month. I just couldn't get into either of them even though they are both highly praised books. I think I might be turning into a mood reader which kinda sucks because I like sticking to a TBR. I think it was also a combination that I didn't like the writing style of either one. Friday Night Lights is very detailed and in depth of things I didn't even really care about so I got very bored. And Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has a MC that is a 10 year old boy who keeps jumping from one thought to another. I might watch the movie though I haven't decided yet.
Update 8/13/17: Hello! My computer is finally fixed! My uploads are all out of whack, but at least they uploaded while I was computer-less. I have had a terrible time trying to read. Nothing is really doing anything for me at the moment and it sucks because I was looking forward to a lot of books but I just haven't liked them. Like I've already DNF'd 3 books and I usually finish books. I think I'm just in a funk right now. I couldn't get through Hidden Figures because the writing just bored me to death. Anyway, I'm currently reading Dragonfly in Amber and it's good but I can already tell it's not as good as Outlander was. I'm also listening to Confess on audiobook and I have mixed feelings on it right now.
