I didn’t get as much reading done in July as I had planned, so I didn’t make as much progress on my reading goals as hoped. Though, I did finish the Popsugar reading challenge. I’ve been wanting to finish the Nancy Drew books this summer, but haven’t had much time to read them. For August, I hope to finally finish them. Below are the books I read in July.
