Silly me, I kept waiting for the end of July to do my semi-annual wrap up of the books I've read. Then I just realized the 6 month mark actually hit a month ago. OKAY... School's about to start next month and my book reading will have to diminish greatly again.
So, here's the books I've read so far this year, and the rating system:
1 star: Didn't like it at all
2 stars: It was ok
3 stars: Liked it
4 stars: Really liked it
5 stars: It was amazing
The 5 star books will be in color.
