June-July Reads 📚

Two audio, one read 🤓📚

7/9 Edited to

... Read moreThis summer reading list caught my attention, especially because it combines two audiobooks with one traditional read, which is a perfect mix for anyone who loves both formats. I recently listened to an audiobook by Heather Aimee O'Neil, whose storytelling really brought the Irish setting to life. The narration made every character feel vivid, which added so much to my listening experience while commuting. Another highlight was an engaging read by Emily Henry, known for her witty and heartfelt novels. Her book, often topping the New York Times bestseller list, offers a refreshing take on contemporary romance and complex relationships. It’s a perfect companion for relaxed summer afternoons. What I found particularly appealing about these picks is the variety they offer—whether you prefer to immerse yourself in a story through audio during activities or enjoy the quiet focus of reading, these choices balance both wonderfully. Also, the recommendation from big names like Amy Daws promises great storytelling. Adding audiobooks to your reading list can transform your usual routine. For instance, during long drives or workouts, I find that audiobooks keep me company without the need to hold a physical book. Plus, hearing different narrators brings additional personality to the story. Overall, mixing formats and exploring authors who are recognized for their quality writing enhances the pleasure of summer reading. Whether you’re new to audiobooks or a seasoned reader, the June-July picks are well worth exploring.

• Reckless - 5 ⭐️ - 1 🌶️ - I know this is a YA book but the tension was too fucking good. I have never been so in love with a book yet so fucking frustrated. The ending absolutely insane and I can’t believe I have to wait a year for the next book. • The Serpent and the Wings of the Night - 4

July is here and these are the books I’m most excited about! I have been taking it easier in the reading department because I feel like lately I push myself to read even if I don’t want to and that’s not ok. I’m letting June and July be chill months where I read a big book and follow it with so

Read 9 books in June. I was aiming for 10, but some days I just couldn’t pick up a book. Laike, Restore Me, and I Got You were my top 3. I will read them again. Set was good, but only 100 pages. I wish it was longer. I would love some book recommendations. Black Romance, Urban, and Psy

I’m counting down the days until I can dive into A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle L. Jensen! This Norse-inspired fantasy romance is the highly anticipated sequel to A Fate Inked in Blood, which I absolutely adored. Freya’s journey continues as she grapples with betrayal and the weight of prophecy
