20 Books of Summer-How I Did

Well, this summer reading plan did not work out how I had planned! Anyone else? 😂

Books I completed for this challenge (click on the cover if you want to read my review):

 

June Reading Wrap-up

Happy July, my bookish friends!!! I can't believe the year is half over! How was your reading this month? I had a pretty good month of reading.

I actually did something I never do=I RE-read 3 books this month!!! They were all 5 stars the first time and again the second 😉 I read 17 books this month and dnf 1. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review. (I do not put the books on these posts there were under 3 stars).

Re-Reads:

Elysium Tide

Title: Elysium Tide

Author: James R. Hannibal

Genre: Thriller, Suspense, Contemporary Fiction

Publisher: Revell

Source:  Revell

My review:

I wouldn't exactly call the first lines gripping as Elysium Tide starts in the middle of a surgery, but I was fascinated (even though I am squeamish). I found Elysium Tide fast-paced, unpredictable, and hard to put down.

Stacking the Shelves #26, Sunday Post #23, Sunday Salon #18

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? Not much going on here, still not feeling wonderful. I am going to take advantage of not having any plans and work on reading and
blogging this weekend 😁

First Line Friday #53-Elysium Tide

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? Not much going on here.

Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link).  This week I am reading Elysium Tide by James R. Hannibal.

20 Books of Summer

It's no secret that I have been trying to whittle down my physical TBR shelves, as well as my Goodreads shelf (although I am continually adding to that one 😂).

2021 New-to-me Authors

Today I am participating in the Top 10 of 2021 hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads. Today's topic is new or new-to-me authors. Well, hang on to your hats because this is going to be a long list. I made it a point to try new authors this year and I can guarantee you that I have NEVER read so many new-to-me authors in a year. I was trying to do the 2021 challenge by Cara Novack Lynch that had 75 topics, which helped to increase my new-to-me authors. Plus, I follow the Avid Readers of Christian Fiction Facebook group and they ALWAYS have great recommendations. I honestly had no idea there were SO many Christian authors that write in a wide variety of genres before joining this group. Of course, once I started this book blog I was introduced to even more authors (thank you!!).
