How many books did you read in July? I read twelve books this month! Pictured are the ones I own copies of! There's only two books (The Hero of Ages + Aurora Burning) I didn't read from my "official" July TBR at the beginning of the month - but I am listening to one of those now (The Hero of Ages) and I read a few more that weren't in that stack. Here's my wrap up: ⇥ Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi (audio): ★★★★☆ // chilling, eye opening, a must read ⇥ A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown (audio/physical): ★★★★★ // loved, a beautiful, immersive fantasy ⇥ Divine Blood by Beck Michaels (ebook): ★★★★☆ // fun, action packed with a slow burn romance ⇥ Fable by Adrienne Young (eARC): ★★★★★ // super atmospheric + gripping, loved ⇥ From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout (ebook/physical): ★★★★★ // my fave of the month + new favorite! epic fantasy with super steamy, angsty romance ⇥ The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson (audio/physical): ★★★★☆ // a little slow in the middle but the ending was worth it ⇥ The Rivals by Vi Keeland (ebook): ★★★★☆ // fun + spicy rivals to lovers romance ⇥ Imagine Me by Tahereh Mafi (audio/physical): ★★☆☆☆ // a disappointing end with some uncomfortable elements ⇥ The Kinder Poison by Natalie Mae (audio/physical): ★★★★☆ // fast paced + exciting, read for mysterious, broody princes ⇥ The Betrothed by Kiera Cass (audio/physical): ★★☆☆☆ // bland, too much tell + not enough show, characters fell flat ⇥ Nightfall by Penelope Douglas (ebook): ★★★★☆ // steamy, dark + exciting end to this series, i'm going to miss this series a lot ⇥ The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young: ★★★☆☆ // missed its full potential, wish the world + romance were fleshed out more C H A L L E N G E S // #tumblesoverbooks / perfect ending #bookscoasttocoastjuly20 / favorite july read #cozyascanbee #bookstababesjuly20 #allthebooksjuly20 #gothandliterature #wildadventuresjuly20 #31flavorsofjuly / wrap up #booknerd #bibliophile #bookaholic #bookhoarder #bookworm #bookstack #bookishpost #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booklove #bookaddict #bookish #bookaesthetic #booksbooksbooks #myfavoritethings #julywrapup #shelfie https://www.instagram.com/p/CDU7NsNA0V7/?igshid=1mlpsgfq32vub
