Orange July

2012 is going by so fast! It feels like just the other day I was gushing about all the fabulous books I had on tap for Orange January. And now, here I am declaring my Orange July reading list! Unlike the books I read in January, which were all nominated 2011, the novels that made my Orange July reading list were nominated throughout the Orange Prize's almost 20-year history. I chose my Orange July books much like I choose other books - I read the synopses and pick the ones that peaked my interest.

About the Orange Prize
The Orange Prize for Fiction is a prestigious U.K. based award that celebrates full-length works of fiction written in English by female authors.

Below are the books I plan on reading this month, as always I invite you to read along and share your thoughts via the comment field.

Happy reading!
