June Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here.
Well….it feels like June was a bit of a failure when it comes to reading. During the first half of the month it seemed like things were looking great, like I was going to match my reading for May (or possibly even exceed it), but then the second half of the month I struggled so much to find the time to just sit back and read.
So instead of finishing 16 books, I only completed 8 (well, 9, but that one doesn’t fully count, because it was an alpha read of a fall release by an author friend)…and the other 8 are still in varying degrees of progress/completion.
Don’t get me wrong, eight books is still a good number to finish in a month. I’ve just been struggling the past couple of years with not reading as much as I want to, or as much as I used to, and that struggle is weighing quite heavily on me. Yes, I know I’m beating myself up a bit much when it comes to something that isn’t all that serious.
Anyway, I’ll just run down the eight books I managed to complete really quickly for you. I have reviews up for three of them already, and the other four have reviews planned; I just need to finish writing them and get them posted…so hopefully I can do that relatively soon.
Let’s get started.
The Last Available by Sean R. Frazier — 4 stars
Manga Classics: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Crystal S. Chan, Julien Choy, Akanovas, and Jeannie Lee — 4 stars
First Test Graphic Novel by Tamora Pierce, Devin Grayson, and Becca Farrow — 5 stars
An Outbreak of Witchcraft: A Graphic Novel of the Salem Witch Trials by Deborah Noyes and M. Duffy — 4 stars
Taking Initiative by Elle M Stewart — 5 stars
Ace Notes Tips and Tricks on Existing in an Allo World by Michele Kirichanskaya — 4.5 stars
Novel Problem by Elizabeth Luly — 4 stars
Love Across the Tabletop by Kait Disney-Leugers — 4.5 stars
See? Not a bad reading month. Everything was 4-5 stars, which is great. And the books that I have started reading but not finished have also been good so far. I just kept getting distracted and ran out of time. I guess it just means that I have the potential to finish up a bunch of reads pretty quickly in July. We’ll just see what happens.
What did your reading month look like in June? Read anything you would recommend? Let me know in the comments, because you know I’m always looking to add more books to my never-ending TBR.
All right, well that is all from me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
