2025 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges

I am honestly afraid to be checking in. This is probably one of the worst reading years I have had. Ideally, I would like to be at the 50% mark, but yeah, I don't think so. Lol. Let's see how bad I'm doing! 😃

Monthly Wrap-Up: June 2025

This was another rough reading month. Though not as bad as last month 😅 This month, I read a total of 4 books, which was about 916 pages. That's about 237 MORE pages than last month! So not too bad, but still pretty bad 😂

• 1 was a full-length novel, and 3 were manga
• 3 were part of a series, and 1 was a standalone
• No series were started or finished this month lol
• All 4 were finished copies
• All 4 were physical books
• All 4 were 4-star reads
• All 4 were traditionally published
• All 4 were by authors I've previously read
• 1 was an adult book, 3 were YA
• 1 was a mystery thriller, and 3 were action

Synopsis: Strep throat! Hay fever! Influenza! The world is a dangerous place for a red blood cell just trying to get her deliveries finished. Fortunately, she’s not alone... she’s got a whole human body’s worth of cells ready to help out! The mysterious white blood cell, the buff and brash killer T cell, the nerdy neuron, even the cute little platelets — everyone’s got to come together if they want to keep you healthy!

My rating: ★★★★★

In this volume of Cells at Work!, we looked at the circulatory system, the common cold, and acquired immunity. As someone who loves medical science, I love this series and the way it describes things!
