Somehow, it's July! I am not sure where June went, but it sure breezed by this year! I finally decided to start doing these monthly wrap-up things, since they looked like so much fun. ;) I hope you'll bear with me as I figure out how to do them. And I apologize that this is a day late!
HIGHLIGHTS
// I actually read 16 books this month! That's a record, even for a speed-reader like me. Of course, it helps when you get to go to a bookstore and use all your saved money to but more books :P
// My family picked lots and lots of blueberries! I love blueberries, though, so it was fun.
// I was able to do a bunch of my little "to-do's" that I really needed to get done... not too exciting for you, but it was for me, anyway!
// I have 39 followers! Thank you so much for taking the time to read, comment, and/or follow. I never thought that I would have 39 followers in just 5 months of blogging, so thank you!!
BOOKISH THINGS
As I mentioned above, I read 16 books this month:
I especially liked the Janette Oke books, Do Hard Things and its sequel, The Old River Road, and The Sparrow Found a House. The rest of them were pretty good too, except that I didn't really like The Room with The Tassels. It was a weird mystery book that was rather, er, not to my liking.

WRITING
At the moment, I am not actively working on a novel or anything, so I don't have any updates for you. Don't worry, I do have some ideas floating around that will probably appear soon. :D I have been writing a few other things, however, and I added a writings page to my blog also.
COMING UP
// I am participating a blog tour this July, and that will be exciting!
// I am hoping to really get a start with an idea that I've finally come up with for a short novella/story, so...... ;)

Aw, you're so sweet! It was a record, even for me, so don't worry! I am a total bookworm anyway, so it wasn't too hard. ;)

That's great that you like Janette Oke's books too! I've enjoyed all the ones that I've read so far. Thank you for commenting, Katie! :)
DeleteSounds like a delightful month!! :) Wow, you read 16 books?!? That's awesome! I also read Julia's Last Hope & Old River Road this month. :) Ans I've previously read They Called Her Mrs. Doc & The Sparrow Found a House. :) Great books and I enjoyed the post! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faith! That's awesome that you read some of the same books. I have a hard time deciding what's my favorite!
DeleteThanks for your comment! =)
Wonderful post, Emily! 16 books is great! I'm *trying* to read like crazy this month because I have a ton of books that have to go back to the library before our trip. =) Eeek. ;D
ReplyDeleteFun post!! I'm glad you're joining the ranks of the monthly highlighters! =D
Aw, thanks, Hannah! 16 was definitely a lot, so I understand about "reading like crazy". ;) Lol, thank you, I'm glad to have finally "joined" too!
DeleteThanks for your comment! =)
I love Janette Oak when it comes to her Canadian West Saga which I first read as a young tween quite a few years ago. It's so beautiful and the TV show When Calls the Heart is almost as good!
ReplyDeleteHave you read that series before?
Blessings,
Kara
I have not yet read the "When Calls the Heart" series, although that is definitely next on my list! I've heard so much about the TV show, but I haven't seen it either. Does it follow the books pretty well? I'm rather picky about that. ;)
DeleteThank you so much for your comments! <3
acccccccccccckkkkkkkkk. 16 stinking books. NO FAIR. ;) I think I got 4 done..but one was The Giver. Have you read it?? You really should. :D
ReplyDeleteNow everyone's making me feel really guilty that I read 16 books!xD 4 is still really good. ;) I haven't read The Giver yet, but I keep hearing about it, so I probably need to read it soon.
DeleteThanks for your comment! =)

ReplyDeleteLOL! I surprised even myself this month, so what I really need is for someone to help me slow down a bit! I'll make you a deal, OK? xD
DeleteThanks for your comment, Grace Anne! =)

ReplyDeleteWow, you were able to read quite a few books! :D I have also read "They Called Her Mrs. Doc" and "Julia's Last Hope". I hope to read "The Old River Road" sometime soon. :)
Thank you, Rebekah! I did have a good month. :)
DeleteThat's great that you've read those Janette Oke books too! I loved both of them. Oh, you definitely need to read The Old River Road soon. It is fantastic! ;)
