My July TBR was pretty long, but a few readathons during the month helped me get a lot of reading in. Not all of my reading actually followed my TBR between readathons and the return of library checkouts, so a couple of books from July's TBR will return in August. Still this was a fantastic… Continue reading A Look Back at July…

Rating: 4.5 / 5 THE DEEP by Rivers Solomon has been on my list since it first came out, but I only recently ordered a copy.

WHERE THE LOST WANDER by Amy Harmon
Rating: 4 / 5 I have not read too many books that focus on the point in history where wagon trains were making their dangerous way across the Oregon Trail to California.

THE ANOMALY by Michael Rutger
Rating: 4 / 5 THE ANOMALY by Michael Rutger is a book that I picked up after seeing a few bookstagrammers discussing it last year. The main character was described as Indiana Jones meets X-Files so I was instantly intrigued. When I asked for suggestions for lesser known books that deserve more attention, this one… Continue reading THE ANOMALY by Michael Rutger
