June Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam here.
I read 19 books in the month of June! That obviously doesn’t include the two or three books I’m in the middle of reading and will finish in the next couple of days, because those are technically considered July reads because that’s when I’m going to finish them. But, this certainly feels pretty darn good.
What is sad is that I only have reviews up for 8 of the 19 books, with 1 more review coming this weekend. The rest I’ll need to write up and schedule…probably as bonus posts through the next month or so. It’s a delightful problem to have. I mean, I did write up 14 book reviews in June, and I have roughly 14 planned already for July. Would an extra 11 book reviews be too much? Hmm…maybe not for you, but with it also being Camp NaNoWriMo, that many bonus posts might end up being too much for me. I guess we’ll just see what happens as the month progresses then.
I hope you all had a productive month of reading in June. Below I’ve listed everything I read, as well as my rating for each book. Then there is either a link to the review if it is already posted, or the planned date of review for the books I’ve already put in my blog schedule. The rest of them will be bonuses at some point or another.
All right, let’s get started.
The Grimoire of Grave Fates created by Hanna Alkaf and Margaret Owen — 5 stars
Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne — 5 stars
by Sophie Keetch — 4 stars
Rising Fire by Terri Brisbin — 3.5 stars
A Thousand Recipes for Revenge by Beth Cato — 4 stars
The Twice-Drowned Saint by C.S.E. Cooney — 4.5 stars
Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen — 4 stars
The Cardboard Kingdom #2: Roar of the Beast by Chad Sell – 5 stars
Pep Talks for Writers: 52 Insights and Actions to Boost Your Creative Mojo by Grant Faulkner — 5 stars (will probably be a bonus review for July since it is Camp NaNoWriMo, but I don’t know when in July)
Raven of the Inner Palace Volume 1 by Kouka Shirakawa — 4 stars
The Study of Poisons by Maria V Snyder — 5 stars
Garden of the Cursed by Katy Rose Pool — 4 stars (should probably schedule this as a bonus review for July because it is a NetGalley read)
This Doesn’t Mean Anything by Sarah Whalen — 3 stars
The Warden by Daniel M. Ford — 4.5 stars
Gods of the Wyrdwood by R.J. Barker — 4 stars (Also a NetGalley read, so it will probably be a bonus review in July as well)
The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen — 4.5 stars
Dark Water Daughter by H.M. Long — 5 stars (review coming July 2)
Unpainted by Dan Fitzgerald — 3.5 stars
Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: The Last Book on Novel-Writing You’ll Ever Need by Jessica Brody — 5 stars
Overall I’m really happy with everything I managed to read for the month…and I’m definitely excited to see what all I can read in July. I have a pretty hefty July TBR planned, so hopefully I can manage to complete most or all of it.
All right, well that is all from me for now. There’s a book review coming later today. Let me know in the comments what all you read in the month of June. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
