KelliLeave a comment

I feel like I blinked, the first of June, and now it is already the 30th. This past month has been challenging, but also fun too. Between working in the cafe and working in the garden, I have been so exhausted. Despite that, I had time to read, watch tv and have fun! Below is more on that.

Favorite book I read:

Give Me More by Sara Cate

This book is S P I C Y, and I LOVED IT. Personally, I would never want to be in a poly relationship, but I did love reading about it. This is the third book of this series, and Sara Cate has written another good one. She makes you love the characters. I am ready for the next one.

Other books I read:

  • Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You: Poems by Misha Collins
  • Falling By T.J. Newman
  • Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies: And Other Rituals to Fix Your Life, from Someone Who’s Been There by Tara Schuster
  • The Tenant by Freida McFadden
  • Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley

All of these were so good!

Some other favorites I had this month:

  • Favorite new place I ate: A1 Pizza
  • Favorite TV show: Love Island (USA)
  • Favorite purchase: Sandels
  • Favorite past time: Reading & gaming
  • Favorite song: Vienna by Billy Joel
  • Favorite YouTube Channel: Carly Incontro

Surprisingly, I finished 6 books in August.

Wild Wolf Claiming by Rhyannon Byrd

4 stars. I am a sucker for these supernatural romances. I got a big bag full of these and I am going to slowly read through them. They can be cringe sometimes, but I am a sucker for them.

Beyond the Wand by Tom Felton

5 stars. I love Tom Felton. I loved reading about how his life was before, during and after Harry Potter. I was very shocked to read some of it. Especially with things that he went through after Harry Potter. Bless him.

Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr

5 stars. I have been enjoying the virgin river series so far. I have been listening to the audiobooks for these and I’m not sure who narrates them or if even the same person narrates them all, but for the first 2 I have really enjoyed who has narrated the books. I didn’t know how I would feel about listening to a different persons story every book, but in at least the first 2 books I’ve read, you still get the story of the other peoples as well. I really like that.

I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5 stars. This book was a tough read. If you get triggered by eating disorder stuff – DO NOT READ. It was rough to read about the things that went on in her life, and I bet it barely scratched the surface. I found myself mad the entire book, but I am so glad I read it and learned about her life.

Merged with Him by Kylie Kent

3 stars. It was a quick read, but everything went too fast. Kinda cringe.

The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

4 stars. I really enjoyed this book! The post-apocalyptic world was different that what I have read before. It made it interesting. That’s all I’m going to say about that because I don’t want to give any spoilers. The ending of the book was kind of shocking, but honestly, it made the book more real.
