You are reading some great stuff I really enjoyed.
You had a great reading month! So many 4 and 5 star books! You are doing very well with your challenges too.
Looks like you had a great July! I really want to read Fourth Wing. I also enjoyed The Iron Druid Chronicles and Murder at Haven’s Rock.
Wow! You read some great authors. I love seeing Yarros, Adams, Bennett and Locke on here.
And I love finding other readers who like the same authors/books. That’s great!
I like the monthly reading challenge where you read a different type of romance each month. Maybe I’ll try that next year! I still need to read Fourth Wing now that I finally got my hands on a physical copy. I just started listening to the first Bromance book. Hoping I end up really enjoying it like everyone else has.
I hope you like it too. And I hope you like Fourth Wing just as much.
