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

Top 10 Favorite Books of 2025 (So Far)

Continuing with this year's trend of being late with posts, today I'm talking about my favorite books of the first half of 2025 😂 This was oddly diffcult and easy to do this year because as I've mentioned many times before, I feel like I've had a terrible reading year so I haven't actually read that many full-length novels. I feel like most of these are 4-star reads, which isn't a bad thing, but it does make me sad that I've read so few 5-star reads this year 😢 I'll let you know which books below were 5-stars for me though.
