My Slowest Reading Month Ever? | June Wrap Up

I don’t know what exactly happened to me this month, but I didn’t really read at all. I only read – books in June and it has to be one of my slowest months in a long time. Even December where I’m normally super busy and barely have time to read.

But now that I’m thinking about it – it makes sense. Normally around June/July every year I go into a reading slump – never as bad as this one, but it does happen. Anyway, let’s get into what I read this month.

Hard as It Gets (Hard Ink #1) by Laura Kaye: I didn’t read my first book of the month until a week in. This was the first week of lockdown and I was just writing posts and binge-watching tv shows. So I decided to re-read a series I know I’ve enjoyed. It’s okay, was trying to get out of my slump – didn’t help too much | 3 Stars

Hard as You Can (Hard Ink #2) by Laura Kaye: I moved onto book two to see if that would help, but from the start, it was looking to be one of my slowest reading months. This series is entertaining but nothing special | 3 Stars

Lore by Alexandra Bracken: Next I picked up mine and Ely’s recent buddy read and had such a good time. I really loved Lore – you can check out our discussion on Earl Grey Books in a few days. But this is a 4 star read for me | 4 Stars

Undercover Duke (Duke Dynasty #4) by Sabrina Jeffries: This is the most recent Sarina Jeffries and gosh did I love it. It’s a fantastic addition to the series, the romance was great and I could not put it down. You can check out my full review now as well | 4 stars

For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks: I really wanted to love this one, but I didn’t fall in love with as much as I thought I would. I still had a great time reading it, but it was just missing something for me. The romance was adorable though and Blake and Jubilee were so good together | 3.5 Stars

Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas: This is another re-read that I did this month. I felt reading something a little different than I normally do, but didn’t feel like picking something new up. It was still as great as the first time I read it and if you want something a little taboo and has an age gap romance – this is for you | 3 Stars.

Punderworld, Volume 1 by Linda Šejić: I received an earc of this graphic novel and gosh I’m in love. Hades and Persephone and adorable and made my heart melt. I need to read the rest like now. Because the cuteness cannot be contained | 4 Stars.

Without You by Marley Valentine: This has been on my tbr for some time now and I just felt like something that would make me cry but was also feel good. I didn’t love this one as much as I thought I would. It just lacked a lot of things. I kept on waiting for something more – but nothing really | 2.5 Stars

Madison Kate #1 – #4 by Tate James: This series has been on my tbr for a little while now. It’s one that I have been very hesitant about because it’s not usually what I read, but with June being just such a slow reading month, I needed something to get me out of it – and this one did. I read the whole series in less than a week and now I can’t wait to read more books from Tate James. My series review is coming soon.

So while the start of the month did start out being the slowest I have had in a long time. I did finish the month on a high note. What did you read in June? Have you read anything that I did this month? Let’s Chat!
