July 2025 TBR

Update for last month:  June was actually a fairly okay month but I didn't read for a lot of it and instead spent a lot of it binging Drag Race with my daughter after her tonsillectomy. I've also done a lot of training at work so I'm so exhausted that I've been falling asleep super quick at night and also not listening to audiobooks at work.

Goals for this month: In July, I'm going way back to the beginning of the year to try and start getting the oldest of this year's TBR read. I should at this point just stop making TBRs because I'm so bad at sticking to them LOL

 
My TBR for July:

• Wicked by Gregory Maguire (Physical/Reread)
• Cat Daddy by Jackson Galaxy (Kindle)
• Swept Away by Beth O'Leary (Kindle/Netgalley) 
• Hot Vampire Next Door by Nikki St. Crowe (Kindle/Netgalley) 

What are you planning on reading in July?

May 2025 Book Haul

May was low for finishing books but it was also lower for hauling books. I hauled a total of 8 books. I spent $25.95 (a preorder + Audible sub) and saved $89.50 by using my local library. At the end of May, I have read 2 of the books and have 6 more to go! Because I didn't read as many books, my ratio of read to hauled has lowered from 84% down to 78%. 

Hoping to read more and haul fewer in June :)

June 2025 TBR

Update for last month: May was super packed with so much stuff and I was tired. Not much reading happened. I did finish 4 books (only 1 from my TBR) so I'm just going to keep recycling my TBR books for the most part. I'm still reading more Kindle books than I have in a long time and would like to continue that trend going forward.

Goals for this month: In June, I'm recycling most of my May TBR and adding a hockey romance that I have an ARC of to the list. Let's see what happens :)

 
My TBR for June:

• First Time Caller by B.K. Borrison (Physical)
• The Bro Code by Elizabeth A. Siebert (Kindle)
• Rebel in the Deep by Katee Robert (Kindle)
• Pucking Strong by Emily Rath (Kindle)
