My June books

Once again it’s time for my stats. I use Story Graph for my data but I plan to start using google sheets to add songs that match the books. Here’s what I will say about my stats; I need more consistency with my reading, also I am getting better at spreading out genres. But I will always take suggestions for more books. I think my goal for this month will be a historical fiction or historical non fiction. That used to be my favorite genre but I have started leaning heavily towards contemporary.

Please give me your book suggestions and I will add them to my list. Honestly I’m looking for good audiobooks to cook and clean with so please give me your recommendations and why.

2025/7/1 Edited to

As I reflect on my June reading stats, it's clear that I'm on a journey of exploring different genres. While contemporary books have taken center stage recently, I've always had a soft spot for historical fiction and non-fiction. Historical fiction captivates readers by weaving narratives grounded in real historical events, allowing us to travel through time within the pages of a book. This month, I hope to rediscover that passion and invite your recommendations to enrich my reading list. Audiobooks have also become a part of my reading journey, especially while I cook and clean. They offer flexibility and entertainment simultaneously, transforming mundane tasks into enjoyable experiences. The versatility of genres available in audiobook formats enhances the experience, making it easier for readers to absorb information while multitasking. Among the notable reads this month are engaging titles that juxtapose various genres, ensuring a well-rounded reading experience. The books I choose can spark conversations and broaden perspectives, so I encourage fellow readers to connect and share why they love specific titles. Let's build a community around our shared enthusiasm for literature and help each other expand our literary horizons. Share your thoughts, and together we can navigate the diverse world of books!

Generally it depends on the genre. I tab a lot for romances whenever I do tab. - I base it off of the emotions I tend to feel when reading. 🎧 I don’t bother using a ruler or anything because it helps me to view the book as a work of art, rather than something that has to be super perfect with no
