Disappointing. First woman in an all-men's team? The premise had so much potential!
What we got instead was constant reminders of how perfect the mmc was. Checked out after the 3rd time his charity work was mentioned - we get it.

🌶️📚💙

Definitely move it up your list

📚One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Againt This
✒️Omar El Akkad
⭐?/5

Not sure how to rate this.
It's such an important topic, and I understand El Akkad's frustrations, but I couldn't get past the flowery language and analogies.
This is definitely a "It's not you, it's me"

Wish I didn't waste my time.
First half dragged, second half felt rushed.
Nothing really happened and there was nothing to differentiate the MMCs - they all could have been one person...

📚Rogue Protocol
✒️Martha Wells
⭐4/5

Another fun installment in the Murderbot series!
Loved Miki and the interactions between the two robots. Murderbot's sarcasm is really refreshing and Kevin R. Free is doing a tremendous job bringing these characters to life.

Wish it was longer!

Thanks for cleaning up! Very considerate

📚Jagged Lies

🌶️1/5

In a Why Choose sort of mood. This was a short one so didn't take long to read, but also didn't have enough character dev (problem with 200pg books)
Got hooked on the story tho so I am continuing with the second book.

⭐4/5
🌶️2/5

A fun slow burn RH. Loved the premise and the world building. The FMC was great. Some MMCs were stronger than others.
This book actually got me in the feels a bit there at the end.
And the cliffhanger?? Didn't realise the second book wasn't out yet. 😭

I See You've Called in Dead sounds fun - I've added it to my TBR. Thanks!

I've listened to Crying in H Mart last year and really liked it as well

Reading wrap up for July!

Went from my slowest month to my best month this year so far.

July ftw. 💪🎂

Some good books this month but also some DNFs here and there.

Any recs from july?

📚Broken Country
✒️Clare Leslie Hall
⭐3/5

This book had me hooked - the storytelling was wonderful, but I couldn't get behind some of the characters' choices. It was messy in a way I wasn't a fan of. It's me, not you.
Frank deserved better.

I would recommend it though.

📚Little Fires Everywhere
✒️Celeste Ng

This was just okay. Story was interesting enough but didn't care for any of the characters.

Not sure why it won a choice award back in the day...

📚Shield of Shadows
✒️Devney Perry
⭐3/5
🌶️2/5

Had a lot of potential, but missed the mark imo.
The pacing was off.
Spent a lot of time with different characters but feel like I don't know anything about them still

I was interested in the story tho

Maybe my expectations were too high?

🌶️📚🪐📚💙

Happy reading negative reviews! Keeps it real

James is actually one of the few books on this list that I've read. It deserves the acclaim.

I'm currently waiting for book 3 from the library! Getting there

📚The Ghostwriter
✒️Julie Clark
⭐3/5

A good mystery, kept me guessing until the end, but ultimately left me just a tad dissatisfied.
Didn't care much for the characters other than Poppy.
Yet still had a good time.

📚Listen For The Lie
✒️Amy Tintera
⭐4/5

A fun little mystery, an excellent audiobook.
FMC was great - funny, sarcastic and unapologetic. Loved that for her.
Couldn've done with more tension and higher stakes, but all in all a very enjoyable book.
Would recommend the audiobook version.

Also felt like an Adam Sandler movie but not in a good way. Not something I want in a book with spice.

📚Till Summer Do Us Part
✒️Meghan Quinn
⭐2/5
🌶️2/5

Started off fine, even got a few LOLs out of me but got old really quickly.
Tried too hard to be funny.
Felt very preachy - there is such a thing as TOO MUCH communication. Real people don't talk like that.
MMC gave me the ick in the end.

📚Shadow of the Gods
✒️John Gwynne
⭐2/5

Gods this was a slog to get through.
Too many characters, too many new terms. Didn't know wtf was going on half the time.
Only reason I finished it was because I had no other audiobooks available.

This was just simply not for me.

🪐📚💙

More New Adult than YA but Meghan Quinn has some decent ones!

That's too long! 😭

Delicious, give me 14 of them right now.
What a delightful slowburn. Can't believe I have to wait for the rest of the trilogy.
Couldn't get enough of Toven - the yearning was 👌👌
It is a little dark, so check TWs.

📚Problematic Summer Romance
✒️Ali Hazelwood
⭐4/5
🌶️2/5

Take a shot every time they say the word "problematic" and complain about the age gap.
Love the premise. Love Maya. Conor - not sure about.
All in all, a good summer rom-com.
Could've been a bit more fleshed out, but still enjoyed it

📚The Wedding People
✒️Alison Espach
⭐5/5

Bit late to the party but I'm glad I finally read this. I can see why this book was so popular last year.
This was messy but in the best way - the story felt very real and honest.
Loved all the characters and their growth.
