Summer is finally here so I thought I would go through my giant TBR pile and try to find a lighter read, maybe one involving a warm climate or vacation vibes to fit the summer theme. Then I checked my Goodreads page…
At the beginning of the year, I picked 22 titles that I really wanted to read for 2022. As of today, I’ve only read eight!! What the hell is wrong with me?!!! So, for the month of July, I decided to pick up the pace a bit and challenge myself to finish three of my 2022 must-reads. I can’t really say which ones I’ll grab this month as I am a total mood reader (which probably explains why my reading habits have been all over the place this year), but I will keep track of them in my weekly mash-up. The heat is on!!
June Wrap-up
There’s something to be said for just letting things go and going with the flow. My June theme was “Just Because” so I counted any book that wasn’t a NetGalley title or personal challenge choice. Of the fourteen books I completed in June, eleven were “Just Because,” and I have to say it felt really good to just pick up random books and enjoy them without worrying about self-imposed deadlines. My top five favorite reads for June were: Betty by Tiffany McDaniel, The Color of Water by James McBride, Beautiful Atrocities by Ross Jeffery, Penance by Kanae Minato, and The Devil in the Red Dirt by Michael P. Smith. Be sure to check them out!
