Summer Library Challenge : Final Update
I really enjoyed this challenge! I completed 20 books. I was doing a lot of other events in June and July so I didn't get to participate as much as I wanted but I was happy to get some books read. Hope you all met your reading goals.
Reviewing Library Books
Hello Everyone! I cant believe how fast this challenge is passing by. This weeks topic is reviewing Library books. I recently started using the library again in the past 9 months because of financial reasons. My reviewing of them depends on my time and if I’m participating in a readathon or other event.
For Example right now I’m running an event called Fangirl Summer:
So I've been getting a lot of graphic novels and geeky themed middle grade and young adult reads to review for posts. I also make sure to put upcoming releases on hold at the library so I can do timely reviews. I also go long periods of time not reviewing library books but I will showcase them on twitter or my weekly update Sunday Share.
