Poor health continued to derail my plans this month, but lots of good things happened too, including two blog takeovers.
My horror story, No Place Like Home (free to members of my Super Review Team), received a mention on Priscilla Bettis’s 2nd quarter review round up.

An almost book a day might not keep the doctor away but it’s certainly stunningly impressive!

Sorry to hear you have been sick a lot, but I am impressed by how book reviews you got done in that time! Congratulations on the award for 7 Days in Hell. I also enjoyed no place like home although it’s pretty dark! Hope August sees you in better health!
