August book subscription books...which one to start first 🤔

Warrior Princess Assassin-Brigid Kemmerer

Immortal Consequences- I V Marie
Voidwalker- S A MacLean

When you were stuck at work all day so you use the time to find books to help you complete your kindle/Goodreads challenges.

I have so much that needs to be done before I head back to work tomorrow but...Rainy days were made for reading!

Happy release day!!! Now the only question is do I pause my other 3 current reads to start this one or wait until I finish at least 1? 😬🤔📚

I must say I am loving these illustrations that accompany each question.

I did pretty well last month and read all.of my picks but school starts back up in a week so I know my reading will drop drastically. Fingers crossed though because I am excited about these.

July started off slow but turned into another great reading month. I am not ready to go back to work full time in a little over 1 week.

Least Favorite: the Listeners & Witches Steeped in Gold

Favorites: Dungeon Crawler Carl

It's time!!! I am not sure I am ready for the end though!!

Thought this sounded interesting so I figured I would give it a try.

This sounds fun 😸👀💀😸

Book mail really is the best mail. Probably 3 of my most anticipated books for the last half of the year. Now which to start first...🤔😜

Hey, thats only about 30miles away from me 😱😜

Chicago is usually the closest town to me I have found in books I read (you say Illinois, most people automatically think Chicago).

Then again, I do read a lot of fantasy books with made up towns so that could be part of my problem lol.

Book club meets next week...guess I best get cracking.

I keep telling myself I need to stop waiting until the last minute to start but do I ever change...no! 🤦‍♀️😂😜

When you are on vacation and all of your book subscriptions come in while you were gone...definitely nice to come home to.

Ok I got my #readyourkindle #readyourebooks ready @CBee

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.

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.

Happy release day! I can't wait to start these!

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!!!

@CBee #readyourkindle #readyourebooks

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.

One of these days I will finally finish this dang puzzle until then at least it is a great excuse to listen to my audiobook 🤔😜

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).

My May TBR

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 🤞

#readyourkindle #readyourebooks @CBee

April Wrap Up. Not to shabby especially since 2 of these are 600+ pages.

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

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

My spring break for work is coming up soon so ?? I can knock these out.

Man life has been hitting me hard lately & I still haven't been wanting to read. I need spring break tom come so I can finally decompress.

Already not off to a great reading month (I didn't read at all this past week) but things can on get better right? Here is my March TBR

Not to shabby when it comes to this years reading goals.

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.

Life has been hectic lately but it is nice to finally be able to dive into a book again and just escape for awhile.
