July's Books Read
Everneath by Brodi Ashton was a great book I can't wait for the next one in the series to come out.
The Selection By Kiera Cass was an awesome book about a Prince looking for love. I can't wait to read the next book.
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia was a book write were the main charcter is a guy and he deals with his Girlfriend becoming a witch.

I think my favorite book I read this month was The Selection.

June's Read Books
This month I read If I stay and Where she went by Gayle Forman. This two books made up a great series. I had If I stay on my bookshelf for almost a year but one I started it I could not put it down. I had to wait for the second book to come to my library from another library. I thought the ending of the series was good.
I also read Breathless by Jessica Warman. I had read another book written by her before and the book did not disappoint me in any way.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth was different from some book I have read before because it takes place over 5 or 6 years. I enjoyed this book very much.
The final book I read this month and my favorite also Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard. I believe this is a great summer read for traveling.I felt the book was ended in a way that maybe there could be a sequel. The book got me pumped for my travel later this summer.
At the end of the month I had read 29 books for the whole year.

Car Show
So today was the South Haven Car show I went to it with my Dad. We had a great time looking at all the cars. When I was younger I disliked going to car shows because i thought they were boring. Now I love going to them because I know how happy my Dad is when he can see so many awesome cars and I love being able to spend time with my Dad doing things he likes to do. Every time I go to a car show I think of the times we went to car shows to see my Grandpa's Old car. I keep looking for his at the car shows but I know it is not going to be there. Because my Grandpa is gone and the car now lives at one of my Uncle's house. I remember how my Grandpa loved talking to people about his car.
When I was at the car show i saw a young men pushing an older men in a wheelchair showing him all the diffrent cars. It made me think of the last car show my Grandpa went to one of my uncle's had to drive the car to and from the show. He was so unwell but still wanted to go. I hope there are car shows in heaven. So my Grandpa can spend time working on a new car and showing it off to other people.

Books I read in April
Sweetly, Anna and the french kiss, Love and leftovers,Hunk and The Iron King.
The first four books are one's I own and the last one is from the library. I have read my goal of 15 books plus one I own I am so proud of this. The Iron King is the first book in the Iron Fey Series. I have the last book in the series on my bookshelf. I thought it would be good to get the series started and to be up to date with the series for future books. At the end of April I have read 17 books this year. Hope everyone is having a good day.
