I have done a wrap up in FOREVER! Mostly because I’ve been reading WAY too many books that it just felt overwhelming, but also because I wasn’t sure how I wanted to set this up. But no time like the present – not like I can’t tweak it right? So let’s get started.

Here are the books I read this month organized by Star Rating. If I have reviewed it I will like the review.

Summary

You may find that the genres don’t match up – that’s because I read two verse books with one of them being contemporary and the other being nonfiction. Also, I listened to a lot of books while following along with the physical – it’s always hard for me to decide how I want to track those.

I also read 8 books that I owned, 5 eARCs (2 listened to via audiobook, 1 was a graphic novel, and 2 read on kindle), and 8 were borrowed from the library.

My favourite book this month was The Black Flamingo and I hope everyone goes out and reads it soon!

Overall, I am happy with the amount I read this month. This was my 2nd best reading month so far this year (May being the best). I read a fair amount of books with LGBTQIA+ rep and some LGBTQIA+ authors. Hopefully, next month my reading pace continues like this – I may possibly get some of my psychical books done lol.

Let me know what you read this month. What was your favourite book? What do you think of this set up? Any tips/tricks/suggestions? Let me know below.

Until next time… keep reading
