 WELL that was a lot of classics! That was way more than I expected to read (that expectation being 0).

I only read 8 books this month, although I'm going to give myself some credit because some of those books were treacherously long. I hope to read more next month, though, and hopefully try to get rid of some of my to-read.

BOOK OF THE MONTH: Stone Cold Touch (and the third book is going well at this moment!)

WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON:
Every Last Breath
Emma
Lady Midnight
Queen of Shadows
Les Miserables
Room
Alex, Approximately (yes, again)
The Last Boy and Girl in the World
Obsidian
Oliver Twist

 MUSIC/TV SHOWS/MOVIES:
Um, obviously 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER
