Hello Kittens! June has come to an end and it ended for me with a wicked case of food poisoning which dragged my stats for the last week way down. It’s a bummer, but it happens. I’m still reading more than I did this time last year and I’m really excited for the books I’ve got planned for July. Without further ado, here’s how June went:
Total Books Read: 15
(links here are to my reviews for these titles)
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin, Rated: 4 stars
Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson, Rated: 3 stars
Haze by Rebecca Crunden, Rated: 3 stars
Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames, Rated: 4 stars
Giant Days, Vol.3 by John Allison, Rated: 3 stars
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, Rated: 3 stars
Furyborn by Claire Legrand, Rated: 4 stars
Home Before Dark by Riley Sager, Rated: 5 stars
Forensics by Val McDermid, Rated: 3 stars
Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells, Rated: 4 stars
The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson, Rated: 4 stars
Followers by Megan Angelo, Rated: 3 stars
The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai, Rated: 2 stars
The Hand on the Wall by Maureen Johnson, Rated: 4 stars
The Return by Rachel Harrison, Rated: 1 star
If you’re keeping track, you’ll notice that only 6 of these are from my June TBR post that contained a total of 14 books. I’m giving myself partial completion points for that TBR, since I did exceed the total number of books read…they just weren’t the books I originally planned on. The joke’s really on me, since some of those books were on that list because they are ARCs with upcoming publishing dates and now I’m in a mad dash to finish 2 ARCs and get them reviewed in the next 5 days while still not feeling great. Will I ever learn?
