In Case You Missed It: July

How is it already the end of July? I don't know about you all but my July was slam packed with activities so I am actually looking forward to a little rest and relaxation come August! I am a bridesmaid this weekend in a dear friends wedding and then after this hopefully things will calm down a little bit around here. Earlier this month my aunt and uncle came to visit and I took them hiking through San Francisco's Presidio and that was one of the picture's I took. Pretty nice, huh? It's called Lover's Lane. My boyfriend was out of town but you gotta take in the scenery when you can find it!

Anywho, in case you missed it, here's what I've been up to here at Amused headquarters:

• Considering how much I had going on, I actually managed to read quite a few books this month (for me, anyway!). They included: Falling for You, Were You Raised by Wolves?, The Way Things Look to Me, A Hopeless Romantic, Olive Kitteridge, and The Man From Saigon. I didn't have any Grade A reads for me this month so I am going to have to find some books to ooh and aah over next month but if I had to pick a favorite for July, I'd probably pick Falling for You by Jill Mansell. What was your favorite read in July?
• We had some fun discussions here. One was about what we wanted to read this summer (I loved hearing your suggestions!) and the other was about which audio book download site is the best to use. I got some great advice here (read the comments for tips). I'll be posting in August with my decision!
• I found the time to watch a couple of great movie adaptations of books: 'Lost in Austen' and 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. I'd recommend them both!
• Have you guys bought one of these cute literary t-shirts yet? I think I've worn mine once a week since I got mine - I love it so much!
• Ever wondered what it looks like where I blog? Check out my guest post Scene of the Blog!

Phew, that was quite the month! August is shaping up to be lots of fun as well! I hope you all have a great weekend!
