July Wrap-Up

Another month has come and gone.  It's time once again to take a look at all that happened on Starting the Next Chapter in the past four weeks.  July marked more new milestones for my blog, including its 5 month blogiversary and reaching 400 followers (welcome to all of my new followers and a big hello to all of my old ones!).  I've gotten some great books for review, won something from a giveaway for the first time.  I've read 8 books this month and written 10 reviews (if you'll remember, I was behind at the end of last month due to computer issues).  My last big bit of news for July is the book signing I will attend today (in fact, as you read this I am most likely already there), which you can read further details about HERE.  I'll have a post about that ready for tomorrow afternoon.   

I hope you all will join me for a fun-packed August.  Starting August 29 I will be starting my fall classes, so I hope to get a lot done during the month of August.  Here are some of the things you can look forward to:

•  My first ever giveaway
• Starting Saturday, August 6, I will be running What's Your Status? for the entire month of August
• My post covering the Maggie Stiefvater signing
• My post covering the Ash 2 Nash tour Nashville stop
• Reviews of forth-coming titles such as
• Dark Parties by Sara Grant
• Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto
• The Lantern by Deborah Lawrenson
• This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel
• Fury by Elizabeth Miles
• Witchlanders by Lena Coakley
• The Unwanteds by Lisa McCann
• Vanish by Sophie Jordan
• Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
• Also, other reviews in between

I'll be away all day, so I hope to see you all tomorrow!
