I wanted to read at last 10 books, but to be fair, I am in a middle of a lot so combined it would equal well over 10! I am very proud of my reading month and hope to carry that energy into July!
Did you read any of these books? What was your favourite June read?

July TBR
I think I managed to fit my whole tbr into the readathon prompts! I am really impressed with myself. I think there are only 3 that didn’t quite make it.
- The Mismatch by Sara Jafari
- Adorable by Ida Marie Hede
- Conversations on Love by Natasha Lunn
As always, I have an ambitious tbr. I am actually quite hopeful because I am finally out of my slump! Who knows though, because Love Island is now back and that cuts a bit into my reading time as well as the Euros. BUT I AM HOPEFUL.
What are you most excited to read this month?
we are all stardust and stories…

Looks like you had a good reading month! I’m excited to read People we Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry and The Guest List by Lucy Foley. I’m also really excited for Love Island too haha. Happy July reading!
