July Reading Wrap-up
It’s August (how did that happen?), which means it’s time for my July Reading Wrap-up. This month went surprisingly well, so I’m hoping I can keep the same energy in August.
In total, I read seventeen books in July, and five of them were client books. As mentioned in previous wrap-ups, the client books aren’t counted in the page count, ratings, or genre breakdown on StoryGraph. Five of the books I read were books on previous TBRs this year, and after the next month or two, I should have read every book that was on my TBR this year.
I had nine books on my July TBR, and I read five of them. Two of them (Guardian and This Kind of Trouble) I’m currently reading but didn’t finish before the month was up. One of them (Soulmatch) I have on hold at the library since I never downloaded the Netgalley widget. And another (A Mastery of Monsters) I decided not to read since it’s the first book in a trilogy, and I’m much more a person who rather have the whole series be out before I start.
I read three nonfiction books this month, which I’m proud of. I didn’t love them, but I’m currently reading one that I’m really enjoying and should finish soon. Principles of E(motion) and The Wedding Party I read as potential comps for my book, and I really liked them. The latter was also my first Jasmine Guillory book. Out There was a Netgalley ARC I’d had since 2021, so I’m so glad to have that out the way. Slowly going to be chipping away at my old ARCs for the rest of the year.
If you’d like to read the reviews for the books I read this month, you can check them out here: Call Your Boyfriend ; Amelia, If Only ; Love at Second Sight ; The Metamorphosis of Bunny Baxter ; This Could Be Forever. The rest are on my StoryGraph.
