Classic move - go three months without updating my reading on the blog! I actually kind of like this cadence of reading wrap ups, though. It's far enough apart that I'm not scrambling to post something every month, and it kind of takes the pressure off of reading! It does take me a while to pull these posts together (I've been calculating and writing for hours!) but I think it's worth it if I only have to do this once every three months. 😂 We'll see if this sticks!
The summer months have been busier at work than I had anticipated (though I am still working from home and will be for the forseeable future), but my reading pace has really picked up from the end of 2019/beginning of 2020, so that's exciting! I've also been reading some pretty incredible books lately. I don't think I've rated anything below 3 stars in the last 3 months which is fantastic, and I still have yet to come across a 1 star book (though I rarely rate things 1 star anyway). I might be just really great at knowing which books I'll like and which ones I won't! Keep reading for all of the stats on the books that I read in May, June, and July!
