Monthly Wrap-Up: July 2025


How is it the end of July already? I don't even know how we got here. Lol. Anyway, this month I had a much better reading month. I read 6 books and a total of 1643 pages, which is about 700 pages MORE than last month! Two things that really helped this month: short books and a readathon.
  • 4 were full-length novels (2 of those were re-reads), and 2 were manga
  • % were part of a series, and 1 was a standalone
  • No series were started or finished this month lol. I did catch up on 1 though.
  • 4 were finished copies and 2 were ARCs
  • 4 were physical books and 2 ebooks
  • 1 was a 5-star read, 2 were 4.5 stars, and 3 were 4-star reads
  • 4 were traditionally published and 2 indie published
  • All 6 were by authors I've previously read
  • 2 were adult books, and 4 were YA
  • 2 were action, 2 horror, 1 cozy fantasy, and 1 urban fantasy

Books read this month:

  

So one thing that really helped my reading this month is starting a re-read of some Fear Street book. And I have really been enjoying myself! These are just so fun! A Dragon Rider's Guide to Retirement was a fun cozy fantasy. I am completely obsessed with the setting of this one!

  

And I, of course, am still reading Sakamoto Days. I am really enjoying this manga. I love the current arc and all the cool action sequences! And then A Touch of Treachery... it is a book in my favorite genre (urban fantasy) by my favorite author (Jennifer Estep), and I loved it (to no one's surprise 😆)! It had action and spies and SO much treachery... it was amazing! Plus, there's something about books set in ski resorts that I just love. Lol.

Favorite book of the month:


This one, obviously 😆

Least favorite book of the month:

None! I enjoyed all the books I read!
