It’s already the end of June and I can’t believe it. Summer is flying away and I don’t want it to. Even though I spent most of June at my house, I really didn’t get a good reading month. I did manage to read a few books but it wasn’t as much as I had in the past few months. You know the drill already. Let’s jumps right into the wrap up.

The 100:
I started this show this month and I have the fourth season to get to. I love this show way too much. My parents started it before me and they kept telling me I needed to watch this show. I gave it a try and I love it. There are moments where I am happy and there are times I am in tears because someone is dying that I love too much. I find it a lot of fun to go and watch the show with my parents and talk about what we both watched. This show is action packed, adventurous, and exciting. If you liked Divergent or The Hunger Games you should watch this show because it is fantastic. You should prepare to sit all day and watch this show because it is great.
Team Edge:
I have talked about the fantastic Matthias before. I just never talked about his one channel called Team Edge. Team Edge is a channel where either Bryan, J-Fred, Matt, Connor, Gunner, etc go and participate in these challenges. They are hilarious videos that makes a person laugh, even if they don’t think anything is funny. I believe they post Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday so it is pretty often. If you ever feel down, you should go and check them out because they will bring a smile and maybe some laughs out of you.
Sarah Dessen Signing:
I got the chance to meet Sarah Dessen this month! I went back to my favorite bookstore, where I previously met Marie Lu. This trip was a lot easier than the first time because we actually knew where we were going and sort of what to expect. It was so much fun getting to meet her because I have been reading her books for so long! She was so interesting to listen to and she gave some very interesting pieces of advice to all sort of answers. Sarah Dessen was so sweet and she took as much time as she wanted with each person she signed books for. Plus, her daughter was there and she looks similar to what my sister did when she was her daughter’s age.
As I have said before, I really didn’t have a good reading month. I had a really good TV watching month since I reviewed so many more shows than books but I guess that is what I get for it being summer. I hope I can get a better reading month in July but who knows if that will really happen with all I have planned.
What books did you read this month? Did you read any good ones? What was your favorite book this month? Have you read any of the books or seen any of the movies I did this month? What did you think about them? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Happy Reading,
