July 2012: Month in Review + Book of the Month Giveaway

Hey everyone!

It's been a slow month at A Reader of Fictions. I'm still behind on my book challenge and I haven't had quite as many reviews going up either, both because I'm behind and because some of my reviews are waiting to go up for Dystopian August. Look forward to that. There's going to be an epic giveaway associated with it, and that's going live in just a couple of hours.

Make sure you scroll through the whole post, or you'll miss a fabulous giveaway!

Only 18 books! That's pretty wimpy. Next month, though, will not be wimpy. It will be BRAWNY. Be prepared, guys!

Book of the Month Announcement & Giveaway:

Every month, I select one book that I read and loved over the past month to feature and giveaway. These giveaways are always international (yeah!) and come with easy entries. I read several amazing books this month, so choosing which one to feature was tough. I'm going with one I received a physical review copy of (because I like to give back to the publisher) and one I just finished reading, so I'm still kind of obsessed with it. This month's book is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas!

Throne of Glass is a marvelous fantasy novel in the same vein as Tamora Pierce, Kristin Cashore or Robin LaFevers. I loved it and I think you guys will too!
