July was a weird reading month. I read every day but only a little bit, almost all days under 50 pages which is really not like me. I read 5 books and read a good amount of my current reread but just never got good momentum going. I'm hoping the Trope-ical Readathon in August helps… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – July 2022

Despite my best efforts, I have finally made the mistake of many NetGalley users and ended up with an ARC for a second book in a series. I was annoyed at first but my library had the first book and I enjoyed it so reading them both back to back was actually a really good… Continue reading ARC Review – Eclipse the Moon
Well, after only reading two books in May, I managed 8 in June. It wasn't as many as I was hoping for Whateverthon but it met my goal and was a pretty standard reading month for me. I started reading slower when I hit a streak of middle-of-the-road reads and just wasn't excited to pick… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – June 2022
Upgrade by Blake Crouch is a sci-fi thriller set to be published July 12, 2022.

Defy the Night is the newish YA fantasy series from Brigid Kemmerer, the author of the A Curse so Dark and Lonely series. Although this first book came of in September 2021, I've heard relatively little about it. I think some of this has to do with it being somewhat about a pandemic and people… Continue reading Book Review – Defy the Night
After my best reading month ever in April, I had a terrible month in May. I was partly in a bit of an after-Realmathon slump but also spent a week in Disney, did a lot of knitting, and read one very long book. June is already looking better with one book already done and another… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – May 2022
