June Recap

 Happy July! June was a slower reading month for me as far as number of books finished but I still read 18 books, down from May's 20 and April's 21. How many books did you read in Junes? Let me know in the comments. 

Reading Recap:

My Daring Texan by Dakota LaCoy | 3 Stars - I felt like the love story in this got the short end of the stick as the book was too busy introducing us to the small town and it's quirky cast of characters.

Rare Vigilance by M.A. Grant | Whitethorn Agency Book 1  | 4 Stars - I loved this slow burn vampire bodyguard romance!

A Requiem For Fallen Stars by Hazel S Wilkes | 3 Stars - While wonderful for a debut, this book didn't stick the landing when it came to the end.

Crooked Shadows by M.A. Grant | Whitethorn Agency Book 2 | 3.5 Stars - While I didn't enjoy it as much as book 1, I am still really liking this series and I can't wait to read the final book soon.

The Girl From The Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag | 4 Stars - This is a lovely graphic novel! Wish I had read it sooner.

Plan To Stay by CG Murray | 2 Stars - The MMC in this novel is the biggest most immature manchild...

My Orc Next Door by Veronika Kane | 3 Stars - a fun orc romance to start the summer

Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood | 3 Stars - If you had told me last year that Ali Hazelwood was going to be my most read author of 2025, I would have laughed.

The New Deputy In Town by B.J. Daniels | 2.5 Stars - There was too much going on for me to enjoy this.

Mine by Clio Evans | 3 Stars - Will probably end up being one of my smuttiest reads of the year

The Orc's Fated Mate by Elizabeth Austin | 2 Stars - No Comment

First Time Caller by BK Borison | 3.5 Stars - I put this off for a while due to all the hype but I did end up really enjoying it and I am glad I finally picked it up

A Treachery of Swans by AB Poranek | 4 Stars - One of my most anticipated reads of the year!

Clara by Dahlia | 2.5 Stars | Judging myself for this one honestly - it was stuff your kindle day and curiosity got the cat

What Happens In Amsterdam by Rachel Lynn Solomon | 4 Stars - my favorite read of the month. I related a lot to the FMC as a woman in her late 20s that has no clue what she's doing with her life

More Than a Friend by Daisy Wren | 3 Stars - this novella had a lot going on

Love Beyond The Veil by Emerie Spark | 3 Stars - a love letter to online gaming and streaming

Bear With Me by Nicole Blanchard | 3 Stars - a fun shifter romance

      I don't know what it is about them, but I have been on a big Orc kick this year

Tell Me Something Tuesday: Choosing your next read

   That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 17th: How do you choose what to read next? I am a big mood reader, and my mood is always changing so I typically don't follow any kind of schedule for reading - I just kind of look around at what I own and grab what sounds best. My library holds usually end up choosing for me as once I get a book up from the library, I usually want to jump right into it. I have gotten super into applying for and reading ARCs lately so deadlines for the reviews have been choosing for me lately. The time of year is also a big factor in how I choose because once September rolls around, I kick into a gear where I only wanna read horror & mystery and that won't stop until Halloween and by then I am ready for Winter and Christmas themed reads.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: How Do You Read?

That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 3rd: Paper, electronic, audio… How do you read? Has it changed in recent years? This year I sit at 75% of the books I read being physical copies and 25% being electronic which is slightly higher than normal for me - my all time stats have ebooks making up only 18% of my total reading, I think I have been on the rise this year because I have gotten into applying for and reading ARCs. I have tried multiple times to get into audiobooks but I get distracted too easily for them. Last year I got back into going to the library and 35% of the books I have read this year have come from there instead of from my own collection of unread books.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: New To Me Authors

  That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 10th: New to me authors: who have you discovered in the past year? I have discovered so many authors that I love in the past year! I made myself pick my top five though to keep this post from ending up too long. 1. Rebecca Ross - After ages of putting it off because I was worried it would be overhyped, I read Divine Rivals in July of last year and I immediately fell in love with her writing. She has a way with words that is so whimsical. I love the worlds and characters that she creates. I have read two more of her books since Divine Rivals and have loved every single one. I really need to focus on catching up on her backlist. 2.A.B. Poranek - I discovered this author through their debut novel, Where the Dark Stands Still. Their writing is also whimsical - the world in this book was beaut...
