The Listeners: A Novel | Maggie Stiefvater
Panpan

Maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset for this right now but this took me way to long to read and I don't think I can tell you one thing that happened.

Reading Wrap Up.

June was a pretty good reading month. Trying to complete some challenges I got to read some books I normally wouldn't.

My backseat road trip buddy & I...vacation here I come!!

There is just something about King that must scream "summer reads" to me because for the last 10ish years (with the exception of 2020 & 2023) I have read at least 1 (usually more) book of his somewhere between June & August. I am sure books of his were read other months those years as well.

Now, I did read 4 of his books in 2020 & 4 again in 2023 they just didn't make the summer months cut.

Current Read: the Sun Dog
Never Flinch up next

I did it!! I think this is the first month I actually read all (well almost, I plan to finish The Last Animal tonight) #readyourkindle #readyourebooks picks.

Side note: I also finished the Seasonal Challenge on Goodreads (which I had forgotten about until last week & still needed 4 achievements) & the Spring Kindle Challenge.

Summer Break is always good for my reading goals.

CoverToCoverGirl I completed this too! It had me reading books that I might not have otherwise looked at. I especially enjoyed (edited) 1w

Ummm...one of these books doesn't belong here?! ???

I can not, for the life of me, figure out why this shows up when I look up Stephen King on my "books I've read" section of Goodreads.

Pickpick

I have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt & it's mythology and when I saw that this book was heavily inspired by/based on this I knew I had to pick this book up (plus just look at it 😍).

I was not disappointed. I devoured this book and after that ending....I need book 2 ASAP!!!

I forgot to post my official list but here are my options for this month's challenge. I am feeling pretty good about the possibility of me actually reading all for this month but I guess only time will tell.

Would that be a Charley Davidson reference I spy 🤔

I love when authors include little easter eggs of their other other works.

May Wrap up.

Not to shabby especially considering there was basically a whole week and a half I didn't read much because I was fighting a sinus infection.

I enjoyed all except for: The Guest & Such Quiet Girls (which coincidentally were both book club books).

It may be slightly ambitious (especially with how crazy things will get with the school year winding down) but I know a few of these should be quick reads so here's hoping 🤞

Apparently I was really feeling "purple books" this month. Sunrise on the Reaping (which comes out Tuesday!!!) even fits this theme.

My sister bought us tickets for Christmas/our birthday and this past weekend we finally had our twin date to go. It did not disappoint. My sister didn't read the stage play years ago like I did so she had no idea going in what was going to happen. We had a blast.

I don't have to work today so my only plans today are to see how far I can get on this. Probably one of my most anticipated books this year so fingers crossed it doesn't disappoint.

My main goal for 2025 is to not only continue to chip away at my back log of unread ebooks but to also tackle my back log on my physical TBR. I am continuing the #readyourkindle #readyourebooks challenge but adding in physical books as well this time. Fingers crossed I stick to it.

Tried to make a dent this year in my backlist of ebooks. Out of the 44 books I picked for my #readyourebooks #readyourkindle challenge (I started in Feb) I finished with 30 read & 14 unread. Not to bad. Thinking I may do a mash up of this with my physical TBR shelf for 2025.

CBee That‘s amazing!! 6mo
jackilynn @CBee thanks for setting this up this year. It definitely kept me motivated. I am thinking I will do it again for 2025 but instead of picking 20 ebooks for my list each month I am going to do half ebook half physical TBR. Hopefully I can still continue to knock books off of my backlist that way lol 6mo
CBee @jackilynn sounds like a super idea 👍🏻 6mo

It's here & just in time for my bookclub reread. Considered one of Time Magazine's 100 best fantasy books OF ALL TIME & definitely one of my favorites from the last several years. I can't wait to dive into this illustrated edition. Be warned, the book itself is definitely not for the faint of heart.

1 is technically a reread (I cheated & but book club books on my list since I do own them digitally) & 1 I put on there solely in hopes that I could finally remove it from my kindle. Definitely an odd mix this month. 🤔
