July 2018 Blogging Recap!

July was a great summer month for us, where we accomplished a lot of reading goals while also enjoying the lovely weather! So without further ado, it's time for our recap!

In July...

....We did more guest reviews!

We started featuring guest reviews from other readers and bloggers on The Book Bratz (2 or 3 each month) earlier this year, and SO many awesome people seemed interested that we opened it up for the rest of the year! If you're interested in guest reviewing for us, head over to the Contact Us tab and shoot us an email! :-)

This month, our guests reviewed Summer of Salt, Summer Bird Blue, and The Library of Fates!

....We reviewed tons of great books!

This month, we reviewed What If It's Us, Save the Date, The Darkest Legacy, All Your Perfects, That's Not What Happened, Seafire, Always Forever Maybe, Wrong in All the Right Ways, The Impossibility of Us, Lovely, Dark, and Deep, and Shadow and Bone!

....We did another subscription box unboxing!

Scribbler is a writer-oriented subscription box that we recently got a subscription to, and we've been loving it! We unboxed the third box ever (the theme was Setting!), and you check check out all of the lovely goodies it came with by clicking here.

....We launched our Blogging 101 feature!

Amber officially launched our Blogging 101 feature, which covers all of the ways to successfully run a book blog based on the tips and tricks we've learned throughout our own practice. Our inaugural post covered starting a blog, and you can check it out by clicking here!

....We posted another College Diaries installment!

The College Diaries is a series we're working on, in which we talk about how we balance blogging and being college students. This month, Amber's post was Summer is in Full Swing and Here is What I Plan to Read!

....We read/reviewed our first-ever graphic novel!

Having never read one before, this was a big step for us. You can check out Jessica's Review of My Boyfriend is a Bear by clicking here! (Thanks to Margot and the lovely Oni Press team for sending it to us!!)

....We completed our Camp NaNo goals!

And that's definitely something to celebrate!

....We launched the 2018 Summer Blogger Promo Tour!

All of the posts we've seen have been so incredible and we're so glad that everyone is enjoying meeting/collabing with their new blogger friends!

Now it's time for August -- and going back to college!
