June #wrapup

Total read = 4
2 audio
2 print (both novellas)

My pick for June is Murder By Memory. I wish the next one was available. Also, Who Will Save Your Soul? was crazy fun and gross. I picked up The Stand again and that is most of what I read in June. Still not finished, lol.

Reggie I want to read The Stand again real soon because the anthology of stories set in the Stand universe is coming out in a month or two. 2w

Bookzombie I didn‘t know about the anthology! I still want to continue reading in order of publication. My reading in general has been slower and especially of The Stand. It‘s not because I don‘t like it though. 2w

Starter Villain | John Scalzi

June turned out to be a reasonably good month for reading after all. I had my doubts a few times! Starter Villain was my favorite, though there were some other contenders.

I finished Cocaine Blues in the wee hours of the morning and enjoyed it. Entertaining and compelling, while also addressing some serious issues that unfortunately persist today.

Can't Get Enough | Kennedy Ryan

pick

May reading #wrapup

Favorites:
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng &
Can‘t Get Enough (tagged) which is book 3 in the Skyland series. I just love this series so much. Kennedy Ryan gives us strong, very real women who take no shit and find partners who love them for the strong women they are without fear. 🥰

Also read:
Madam by Cari Lynn & Kellie Martin for #roll100
Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs for my #mercyreread
Both 4⭐️

Worst read ⬇️⬇️

MeganAnn Worst was Abducting Abby by S.E. Smith. Poorly written, the sexy scenes were cringey & the plot was all over the place. My mom wanted my opinion. She saw a bunch of good reviews online & others talking about how good it was… then couldn‘t believe how bad the writing was. She wanted to know if I felt the same (I do). To get the bad taste out of my brain I did a reread of Ice Planet Barbarians then gave it her as a well written example of the genre

I returned to several series I had paused on and started a couple of new ones. My pick for May is Sandstorm, because it reminded me that I can get through a #chunkster. I gobbled up the almost 600 pages while on vacation.

Hollywood's Eve: Eve Babitz and the Secret History of L.A. | Lili Anolik

May #wrapup

A few good ones this month. James was well done and I loved learning more about Eve. Boots on The Ground was also good, I liked reading about veteran‘s experiences and it gave good insight.
