June wasn’t the best reading month for me. I don’t know what it was but most of the books I read were just okay. At least I had one 5 star read!
—
Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare — 3/5★
The Bond by Robin Kirk — 2/5★
Mindscaping: A Practical Guide For How To Be Happier by Donovon Jenson — 4/5★ (my review)
Lying with Lions by Annabel Fielding — 3/5★ (my review)
Like a Love Song by Gabriela Martins — 2/5★ (review to come)
Screaming Whispers by Shreya Vijay — 5/5★ (my review)
FAVORITE BOOK OF THE MONTH:
‘Screaming Whispers’ encompasses a plethora of poems that are the creation of a young woman’s mind. With each stroke of the pen, the ink stained the paper and these poems were birthed.
The underlying theme of the book is based on how writing serves as therapy for the author. She seeks to awaken the souls of her readers to a wide spectrum of emotions that are otherwise, often taken for granted. Most of the themes of her poems are borrowed from something she has felt deeply or has witnessed from the sidelines.
Via the medium of her poems, she wishes to instigate lasting impact on her readers and make them appreciate the subtle art of poetry. All the poems in this book are not mere literary pieces. They are the pieces of her soul. Now that they are with you, please keep them safe.
? What was your favorite read of June?
Sorry you didn’t like The Bond! But reading at least one 5 star book a month is always a good thing?
I’m sorry too because I know you loved it 🙁
At least you had one really good book!! Happy July!
Happy July to you too!
Aw, the cover for Like a Love Song looks so pretty — I’m sorry it wasn’t very good 🙁
And I was so excited for it too 🙁
Just one great read can kind of make up for a bunch of meh ones! Happy reading in July!
For sure! 😀
June was a terrible reading month for me as well. So many misses/ DNFs, I don’t know whether it was me or the books. I remember your reviews of Mindscaping and Screaming Whispers, at least the month was a complete dud for you!
Yes, those 2 books saved it a bit!
I love Cassandra Clare! Though, I admit I haven’t read too many of her books. Sorry this wasn’t the best reading month for you 🙁 At least you found one 5 star!
I didn’t love Queen of Air and Darkness. It was very long and I wanted it over with, still a good book but it kept going on forever lol
My June wasn’t a good reading month but I will say you did better than me! 🙂
I hope this coming month is filled with awesome book!
I’ve been enjoying July a lot better already than the whole of June ?
Aw I’m sorry it was such a meh reading month overall. I was looking forward to Like A Love Song too, so sorry you didn’t enjoy it as much. Hope your July will have many 5-star reads 🙂
You had quite the mixed bag!
Yes not the best month apart from the 4 and 5 star one
At least you had the one 5 star 🙂 Ouch, though, two 2 star reads. I feel like most are 3 – 4 stars for me, so that’s normal. But when I’m hitting 2 stars, it’s rough. Hope this month’s reading is better!
It’s still early in the month but I’m already happier about my reading than June’s!
