June Wrap-Up

This is my monthly post where I talk about how the month went for me when it came to reading and some events that maybe sparked me to read more (or stopped me from reading as much as I wanted to). I also link all the reviews I did in the month, update any reading challenges I've signed up for, discuss my plans for the following month, non-book things I've enjoyed, and give updates of my life. This year I have decided that I am not making a big deal on how many books I read or letting myself feel any guilt for the amount I didn't read. I am just going to read what sounds good in the moment without any guilt or pressure. I hope everyone has had a fantastic reading month and that next month goes even better! I cannot believe we are already passed the half way mark of 2018. Let's jump into how June went for me!

[Book Review] The Gentleman's Guide To Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

Henry “Monty” Montague was born and bred to be a gentleman, but he was never one to be tamed. The finest boarding schools in England and the constant disapproval of his father haven’t been able to curb any of his roguish passions—not for gambling halls, late nights spent with a bottle of spirits, or waking up in the arms of women or men.

But as Monty embarks on his Grand Tour of Europe, his quest for a life filled with pleasure and vice is in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family’s estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy.

Still it isn’t in Monty’s nature to give up. Even with his younger sister, Felicity, in tow, he vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty’s reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt that spans across Europe, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.

January Wrap-Up

This is my end of the month post where I will be giving a small run down on my reading progress for the previous month. I plan on doing these at the end of each month so I can assess how I have been doing with my yearly reading plans, so I can have all my reviews from the month in one spot, and so I can discuss any books I ended up DNFing this month. DNF stands for "Did Not Finish" which means I didn't read the book cover to cover, I gave up partially through the book because I was unhappy with it for whatever reason.

When it comes to my reading goals, I am pretty pleased with how January turned out. I read the books I wanted to read, without putting them off. I reviewed every book I read and made sure those reviews were longer and more detailed than the ones from previous years. I obviously started a book blog, which is something I have been keeping up with and I have also been keeping up with Books Amino more than I had in late 2016. I definitely read more diverse books, out of the eleven books I read five of them are considered diverse. I read them because I was excited about them and I believe I loved all of them.
