This July has been a great month! Firstly I went and watched the conclusion to the Harry Potter film series and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. I just can't believe it's finished now :( Secondly I finally graduated from university with a degree in Chemistry with Forensic Analysis. It was a long and hard five years but I learnt so much; not just academically but about myself and what's important to me.

Now on to the books! I finally finished Middlemarch and I really liked it and it was worth the 1000+ pages. I also surprisingly liked reading Slaughterhouse 5 and Fight Club. After coming back from the cinema I just knew I had to reread the series and Philosopher's Stone was just as good as when I first read it over ten years ago. The Name of the Wind was a fantastic read and I can't believe I've had it on my shelf for years unread. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy Starcrossed or Whisper. I really wanted to because they had such great premises but you can't win them all. Miss Peregrine's was a fantastically creepy read but it ended on such a cliffhanger, so I can't wait for the sequel. Along for the Ride and The Summer I Turned Pretty were great beach reads and highly enjoyable and both invoked nostalgic memories. Finally, Angel was a great addition to the trend of angels in YA fiction. I really starting to like angels as much as werewolves!

Thirdly, the blog I've been enjoying the most this month is Musings of A Bookshop Girl. She had a fantastic theme this month called 'Page to Screen'. I really enjoyed reading all the posts and it gave me many new books and films to look out for. So, overall a fantastic month :)

Congrats on your graduation! Great list of books with lots of variety in genre. I bought a copy of Fight Club from the book depository the other month but accidentally bought a german version - whoops! I was so annoyed at myself I'm dying to read it :-)
Hey thanks for entering my giveaway! Thought I'd pop by the blogs I hadn't heard of and subscribe to a few and I see you have a very similar reading taste to me! I adore Patrick Rothfuss and you're definitely in for a treat with Wise Man's Fear when you get around to that :)
