I usually don't write my thoughts down when I finish a book, but looking back at this month I really should have. I had to look back at the synopsis on a couple to remind myself of the story. That's a bad thing, isn't it? No reflection on the books, either. I'm losing my mind, or my memory, or both. (edit: also I originally named this Books I read: June. Ooops!)
29 Delirium - Lauren Oliver Oh, this was good. I liked it and I'm hooked on the end. It felt young to me but I still liked it a lot.
30 Indigo Spell - Richelle Mead Mead's characters are like old friends at this point. I care so deeply for all of them. I will be sad when I don't get to read them anymore.
31 Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception - Maggie Stiefvater They plot holes and the way that everyone just has no problems with magic and faeries just SHOWING UP one day ... didn't like. It was just very okay. I also read a couple pages of the next one and gave up. I just don't care about these characters.
32 Son - Lois Lowry This was a beautiful ending to the Giver series. Loved every page.
33 Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare Not nearly as good as her other series, but I'll read them. I'm intrigued.
34 The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater THIS is what the Faery series should have been. LOVED.
35 Days of Blood and Starlight - Laini Taylor I had a difficult time getting into this second book even though I re-read a synopsis but by the end I couldn't wait for now the third book to come out.
36 The Fault in our Stars - John Green I didn't expect to love this as much as everyone else did. I did.
37 Nemesis - Jo Nesbo I'm listening to this on audiobook as I have a bit of work driving lately. I did NOT realize that the main character's name was pronounced Huula. This is why audiobooks are a good idea. Also, I love it - but what's not to love? I have about 6 hours left but I'll knock those out on Thursday, plus some (sadly).

I'll definitely put Son on my next-to-read list.
Did you see Richelle Mead has a new series out? It's Gameboard of the Gods and I think I picked it up on a Kindle Deal of the Day. I'm looking forward to reading it. I wonder when the next (final?) Dark Swan book comes out.
I felt much the same way about Lament, but I did like the relationship between the two main characters. Still, just weird there. I thought about reading Ballad, but never did. I'll look into Raven Boys instead.
TFioS is awesome. There's a movie in casting. I think it'll be good, but I'm kind of nervous about it.
ok, I'm holding for the ebooks with the library on the Lauren Oliver series. Only heard good things. CAN'T WAIT!
