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!

I can't believe how fast July went! I had hoped to get so much more read when I was on my cruise, having a room to myself and then sitting on a beach. Neither really helped sadly. Here's hoping August is a good reading month for us both!

Oh girl, that always happens to me 😂 I always make these plans to read while on vacation, take all these books with me... and then nothing 😂 I'm going on vacation in like a week and I'm already planning on what books to take even though I know I probably wont be reading much. Lol.
