July #WrapUp.

Wow! July was a really bad reading month for me. I dnf‘d The Cake House and best of the month was The Other Side of Tomorrow. Sheesh, hope August is a better reading month.

June #wrapup

Total read = 4
2 audio
2 print (both novellas)

My pick for June is Murder By Memory. I wish the next one was available. Also, Who Will Save Your Soul? was crazy fun and gross. I picked up The Stand again and that is most of what I read in June. Still not finished, lol.

June turned out to be a reasonably good month for reading after all. I had my doubts a few times! Starter Villain was my favorite, though there were some other contenders.

I finished Cocaine Blues in the wee hours of the morning and enjoyed it. Entertaining and compelling, while also addressing some serious issues that unfortunately persist today.

May reading #wrapup

Favorites:
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng &
Can‘t Get Enough (tagged) which is book 3 in the Skyland series. I just love this series so much. Kennedy Ryan gives us strong, very real women who take no shit and find partners who love them for the strong women they are without fear. 🥰

Also read:
Madam by Cari Lynn & Kellie Martin for #roll100
Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs for my #mercyreread
Both 4⭐️

I returned to several series I had paused on and started a couple of new ones. My pick for May is Sandstorm, because it reminded me that I can get through a #chunkster. I gobbled up the almost 600 pages while on vacation.
