#RushAThon #4in20 #readathon

Finished for #SundayBuddyRead & while I‘m glad I finally read it (after picking it up in high school & then putting it back down unread) I didn‘t enjoy it. I found Lawrence‘s writing overwrought & all over the place & while I admire his social commentary & daring to write this book in his era, no character is likable & the sex scenes it was banned for are not sexy. The best part of the book was the weekly discussion.

AmyG The sex scenes are cringeworthy. 😬 1y

#JuneWrapUp

I‘m happy with my June Stats! I think the #readathons & #buddyreads this month helped push me along to completing 13 books (some finished/others started & finished) with 3 books still in process at about 40% complete.

I read 2 audio or part audio books, 6 e-books & 5-print. 4 were library books, 1 for book tour review, 1 NetGalley #ARC 4 #buddyreads with #PemberLittens #SundayBuddyRead & #SummerHeat

I also completed my ⬇️

DebinHawaii …library‘s #2022SummerReading Program, Kindle‘s Spring Reading Program & took part in #JoysOfJune & #4in20 readathons & #BigJuneReadathon

The Verifiers, The Catch Me If You Can, Unlikely Animals & My Fair Fellow were my top 4 favorites. Ironically, the tagged book is the only one I didn‘t like.🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you to all the tagged readathon & buddyread hosts!🤗

It Takes a Villa | Kilby Blades

Pickpick

Finished this #ARC for review next week. Sweet story set on the Amalfi Coast where an American woman joins a program to buy & renovate a villa in a small town in 6 months. Loved the setting & descriptions of the lemon groves, food, scenery & details of the renovations & enjoyed the characters & romance. A really abrupt ending that had me checking to see if my #ARC was missing pages.🤷🏻‍♀️But overall, a good escape read for an Italian staycation.
