This week, we welcomed July. I sent out tour kits for next week’s release for one of my authors and on Saturday it rained all day, allowing me to prep posts and write reviews before vacation. In June, I completed 19 books through reading or listening. I am still 8 books behind for my goal of 200 books. I reached 62/150 audiobooks, and 7/12 library books. I took the Royals shopping for back to school clothes, since they go back August 8th and we will be away the last two weeks of July. Stay Caffeinated.

Sounds like you had a good week! I hope you enjoy your upcoming vacation! I am taking some time off the first week in August, right before my daughter starts back to school. I didn’t know Deborah Harkness had a new book coming out! That cover is so pretty! Have a great week, Kimberly!
Rolé @ Hooked By That Book
You had a good reading month in June. I’ve missed out on my weekly recap for a couple of weeks now. I need to plan this better. Hope you have a great week!
vidya
love all the covers of the books pictured today.. and with my younger one off to college as well this fall, back to school shopping is definitely different from this year for us with both kids in college now
Nas
Eight books behind is not bad at all. I think you are doing good! Good luck with your goals!
Lydia C. Lee
Wow – 62 audio books. That’s more than 2 a week! I’m about 1 a fortnight. So I’m impressed!
Jan farnworth
Is black bird oracle an arc if so i am jealous i would loved to have scored that- i did pre order it as i doubted i was getting a copy. The withering storm cover is very eye catching i might have to look that one up. Hope you have a great vacation.
Kimberly
Yes, it’s an audio arc. Like you I have pre-ordered the Hardcover and Audible copy.
Laurie
Wow, schools start early where you are! I mean, August 8… That’s the middle of summer. Our country is devided in 3 regions regarding holidays and our final region will get their summer leave on July 20 and then school starts on September 2 there. The first region got summer holidays this weekend and will start on August 19, and then there’s just one region in between
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
That’s a really early return-to-school date! I hope the Royals enjoyed their back-to-school shopping with you. You got some wonderful books this week! I can’t wait to read The Black Bird Oracle.
Kimberly
They’ve been out of school since May 23rd…lol Yeah, we are from the East coast and had to adjust to their schedule.
Lisa R. Howeler
Whew! You do have a lot going on! August 8?? That seems sooo early! Do they get out earlier?
Anyhow, hope you have a great reading week this week.
I like that you are reading some Christmas in July too.
Kimberly

Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Even the East Coast schools have been adjusting their schedules. When R was growing up, school let out around the first or second week of June, and didn’t start until after Labor Day. Now they let out in mid- to late May and go back in mid-August… but usually after the 15th. Not having a child in the school system anymore, I didn’t have to adjust to the new schedule lol.
Meezan
Looks like a fun selection of books. I always enjoyed back-to-school shopping…as a student and then as a teacher. Have a great week. 🙂

You’re on top of it, handling it all. Nice you got some rain, we’ve had almost none, but I know many have too much.
A Voracious Reader
It seems like summer vacation for the kiddos gets shorter and shorter. I think I’m 6 behind on my goal. I stopped paying attention. lol I hope you have a great week!
sjhigbee
We’ve hit a rather cool, rainy spell too. It’s also very windy – in fact July is pretending to be April… I hope you have a good week, Kimberly:).
Sophia Rose
You had a big reading month in June and way to go getting your reviews and posts done. Sounds like you’re getting lots done as you prep for vacation and back to school.
Have a good week, Kimberly!
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
I’ve got to see how you felt about Finding Mr. Write! You got some books that look good this week! And wow, they go back to school on August 8th? I think that’s about the time our teachers come back? I am not ready!
Jody
Eight books behind is not bad at all. I think you are doing good! Good luck with your goals, Kimberly. 😊
Jodie
It always feels good to be prepared in advance of vacations because back to school time comes quickly. Have a great week!
Cindy's Book Corner
Doesn’t it feel like summer gets shorter and shorter?! I like the cover of The Astrology House. I hope you enjoy all of these. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
SJ
Ugh I don’t even want to think about back to school yet. Thankfully it’s not till Sept. 19 Books in June is great. I had a lot of DNFs, but found some really good ones too. Hope you enjoy your vacation.

Enjoy your vacation!
Bookworm
You’re doing great with reading goals. Your new books all look good especially The Astrology House. Happy reading!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Wow! August 8th seems so early. I feel like we were always mid-late August back in the day.
Lots of new reads this week! These are all new to me ones too! I hope you enjoy them all once you get to read them!
Here’s my StS

My son breaks up for the summer holidays on 23 July then goes back the first week of September.
I’m a bit behind on my 20 Books of Summer Challenge. Hopefully I can catch up!

I’m in awe of your reading goal – 200 – and all your blogging achievements!!
Lori
It was a hard week up here and the rain played a part.
I can’t believe how early your grands go back to school. End of August and early September up here.
Have a fun week!
Taylor @ Taylor Fenner’s Bookish World
19 books is great! I started 17 in June but DNF’d a couple. Wow, back to school seems to get earlier and earlier every year!
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
19 books is great! I need to continue the Chris Tullbane series. I read the first 2 or 3 books and enjoyed them. I’m eyeing Astrology House. Have a wonderful week, Kimberly!
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
Sounds like June was a great reading month for you. I hope you have a great July and a great week!
