Yes, I'd like to know as well!


message 14: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Five Survive was a fun ride! It threw some twists at me that I didn't see coming!

Prison Healer was also so so good! It gave off those earlier 2000's fantasy/dystopian type vibes. I loved it! Ended on a cliffhanger so anxiously waiting to be able to get book 2.

Inheritance Games was definitely my favorite of March! The Wayward short stories were decent! Never enough when they're that short lol

Oh no 😬 I am also really behind on my Goodreads challenge. I don't even want to look, but I'm pretty sure I'm over 10 books behind schedule. Lol.

Good luck with your reading this month!

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Reading Wrap Up for June/July:

June: Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune We Are All So Good at Smiling by Amber McBride A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

ADSOM was a re-read and still loved every moment of it! All four reads were 5 stars for me!

July: Saving Noah by Lucinda Berry Delilah Green Doesn't Care (Bright Falls, #1) by Ashley Herring Blake Galatea by Madeline Miller Mysteries of Thorn Manor (Sorcery of Thorns, #1.5) by Margaret Rogerson Summer Rental by Rektok Ross See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood Happy Place by Emily Henry

This was my best reading month this year!! So many (and all good) books! Saving Noah was hard to read and heartbreaking on so many levels. Summer Rental was my only let down - I went in expecting to love it and it was pretty meh. RW&RB was a re-read and worth every moment! Excited to see the movie this month!

Wow heather! So many good reads for you. And what an excellent month of July


message 31: by Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover (new)

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2893 comments Mod
Oooh some solid reads in there! I also read Galatea last month and really enjoyed it! And I read See You Yesterday last year, I think, and I remember liking it too! I loved the premise of that one!


message 32: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments I love the whole "Groundhog Day" time loop trope so so much! July was for sure a great month, school starts back up in a couple of weeks so it'll slow down again.


message 33: by Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover (new)

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2893 comments Mod
Me too! Have you read The Do-Over by Lynn Painter ? Same concept but I think I liked it more than See You Yesterday! It was very cute!


message 34: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments I haven't! I'll have to check it out asap lol!


message 35: by HeatherH (new)
