July Round Up and Book of the Month

July's Book of the Month is Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne

So July's Book of the Month will come as no surprise to people who read my 5 star review for Am I Normal Yet? last month. This was a very special book for me covering themes close to my heart: OCD and Feminism. It was one of those books that I connected so deeply with that I felt like it had been written especially for me. If you'd like to find out more about the book or read more of my thoughts on it check out my review here.
