I can’t believe we’re already in the second week of July – where has this month gone? I’m actually glad July is passing quickly though. My final for my (horrible) class is July 27, but before then, I have to write a ridiculously long paper (it’s taken me 3 days just to gather data for it) and put together a presentation. I also have to do at least 2-3 more rounds of editing on my thesis. I’m going to be finished with my Master’s degree at the end of July and am going to take a much-needed break from work and school in August. I’m going to be traveling quite a bit again in August, which I feel ambivalent about. I’m excited to be going the places I’m going, but at the same time, I just want to stay home and catch up on reading and blogging.
I haven’t been reading much at all because I’ve been consumed by school, and was in Houston last weekend. We went to visit some of my husband’s family. My husband’s uncle is an astronaut, so we got a behind-the-scenes tour of Johnson Space Center, which was really amazing. I’ll put together a post at some point, though it may be after this crazy month is over!
I’m currently running two giveaways. The first is for 4 books by Thrity Umrigar, and the second is for 2 books by Lynne Griffin. Please use the forms to enter, as comments on the posts won’t count!

You may be busy but you are still posting lots of reviews...I'm impressed! I really want to read Rampant myself so I'll have to check out your review of that one. Have a great week of reading!
You should be proud that you've managed to do any additional reading given your school schedule!
I'm sure you'll feel a great sense of relief and accomplishment once this month is over.
I also can't wait for this month to be over. My birthday is in August!
It sounds like you've got a crazy amount of work on your plate, so I can imagine it will be a relief to have it all done at the end of July! I hope that when it's all done you get a chance to hole up with a few great reads!
I can't wait to hear about your trip to the space center.
Good luck and hang in there with the schoolwork.
Welcome home! Sounds like you've had an enjoyable, and busy summer so far with more to come. Just think about how great it will be in the fall when you don't have school work to think about!
Looking forward to hear more about your travels. :)
