Purchased/Acquired in June:
These are all free audio books from this website. There are about six weeks left to get these free audio books.
And here are the two Kindle books. One I bought on sale and the other free. (So do kindle and audio books count as purchases? And if so have I totally screwed up my #ReadMyOwndDamnBookschallenge?)
My Quickie Book Reviews:
Across the Web:
I’m a huge fan of Tom and Lorenzo Fabulous and Opinionated It’s a dedicated to fashion and read carpets, but they also do some wonderful analysis and critiques of tv shows and movies based on the costuming. If you are a fan of Mad Men, read their analysis of it via the costumes. Its amazing. They also do a smaller version of this for American Gods the TV show based on the Neil Gaiman novel. Click here, here, and here to read their wrap up costume posts for the season.
In the Blogisphere:
