Shelly

June was a great month, with the beginning of it being BEA! I had so much fun in New York that it was a bit hard to get back to reality for the rest of the month. We also came back from hiatus in June so it was time to get some serious blogging done, which I hope is a habit that we can continue in July!

Books Read

June was pride month which means I exclusively read queer books (with the exception of some comics and a blog tour book). I had a whole TBR set up but as usual, I just gravitated towards whatever romances twitter told me to read and whatever my library has. I also missed a few review copies because they weren’t LGBT+ books so I’ll have to go back and read them. So let’s hope that my July reading is more productive!

The Paths We Choose by M. Hollis   4/5 stars
Mature Content by Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell 4.5/5 stars
Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee 5/5 stars
Fast Connection by Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell (re-read) 5/5 stars
Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali  5/5 stars
Signal Boost by Alyssa Cole 3.5/5 stars
The Backstagers vol. 1  5/5 stars
Illegal Contact by Santino Hassell 5/5 stars
The Tiger’s Daughter by K Arsenault Rivera 5/5 stars
Summer Stock by Vanessa North 4/5 stars
Wires and Nerve by Marissa Meyer 4/5 stars
Sensational Comics featuring Wonder Woman vol. 1 3/5 stars
Teen Dog by Jake Lawrence 5/5 stars
Anything Could Happen by Will Walton 4.5/5 stars
Tied to Trouble by Megan Erickson 4/5 stars

I read twenty one books this month which isn’t bad at all! I’m quite proud of myself.
