Monthly Round-up! August 2016

Monthly Round-up, linking everything that has happened in the last month, posted on the last day of said month. This Round-up August 2016. Currently reading: Reviews:   Blog Tours:   Pastime Pleasures:   Challenges: A new year and a new challenge. This year I am participating in the movie musical challenge hosted by Bookish Whimsy. This month I have watch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and it was my favourite musical of the year so far. As per usual I’m participating in the Goodreads Challenge. I’ve pledged to read 100 books! And so far have managed to read 64 books. I’m 4 behind but it is an improvement on last month when I was five behind. At this rate I will make up for it by the end of the year So what do you think of my round-up August 2016? What have you read this month?
