This Month Overall:

June has been an amazing reading month! I not only have been receiving amazing books form goodreads giveaways but I discovered Netgally! Can we just take a moment to adore this beautiful resource... I also discovered that the Kindle app was free on my new phone so I can actually read ebooks! What!?!?! I took my first trip to the town library this summer, the first trip I brought home three books as not to look odd... Yea I went last week and got like twelve. I have a serious reading addiction.

What's Coming in July:

July is my birthday month so a haul is coming. Birthdays are the best excuse to buy books hands down. As I am just about half way done with my reading challenge of fifty books for the summer I may slow down my pace a bit. I am now also challenging myself to finally write one of the many ideas I have for my own novel. So the goal is at least five thousand words a day.

For the Awards!

Adult Fiction winner is...

The Benefits of Line Dancing by Edward Shull!

If you like character driven plot look no further. A young Hollywood heartthrob, a sexy and smart defence lawyer, and a contract lawyer all stuck in a small Alabama town because an old friend blew up the gas station/ grocery store.


YA Fiction winner is....


Forevermore by Cindy Miles

A creepy old Scottish castle with a ghost who can actually leave the grounds, so much folk lore.... It was so much fun to read. And the first ghost paranormal romance type I have read.



And for Series....

I couldn't decide so both win!

 Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Oh my god I need to get my hands on Scarlet now so I might know what happens! I was unsure about starting the Lunar Chronicles but my god I love it already. Yet another series I am now addicted to!




The Selection by Kiera Cass

I mean this book has everything, the US is now a monarchy bit, this secret lovers bit, the reality TV, the handsome prince.... Its just wow. I still have yet to get my hands on a copy of The Elite, but with my bday in eleven days I am sure someone will get me a gift card so I can grab a copy.



And that is it! My Best of the Bunch for June! Hopefully July has some interesting reads as well! Happy Reading Everyone!
