June was a pretty good reading month, although I didn’t have any runaway five-star hits this month. If I had to pick a favorite book of June, it would probably be The Seven Year Slip, and I can’t believe I’m saying that since it’s not one of my usual genres! I’m also pleased that I was able to review eight books, because Gods of the Wyrdwood is 640 pages, so technically I read nine books, lol. Here are the books I read and reviewed in June, and my reviews are linked below if you missed them:
The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
Maeve Fly by C.J. Leede
Gods of the Wyrdwood by R.J. Barker
Mothtown by Caroline Hardaker
Night’s Edge by Liz Kerin
Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini
Graveyard of Lost Children by Katrina Monroe
Open Throat by Henry Hoke

I haven’t included this feature for months, but I thought I’d bring it back. Ever since I posted my review of Fourth Wing, it’s been far and away one of my most viewed posts ever. I expect it to hold the number one spot for quite a while. I don’t normally show stats, but I have to share the ridiculous views Fourth Wing had this month, compared to my other reviews! LOL
You may not have had any 5 star reads but what you read was still weighted to the higher side, which is always nice. And I can’t stop smiling that you got so much enjoyment out of something outside your typically genres with The Seven Year Slip. I love seeing that! 🙂 My favorite read of the month was an older book, Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
It was definitely a good month overall:-)
Holy moly! Those Fourth Wing stats are awesome! I’m terribly amused that my most viewed post was a negative review for Queen of Myth and Monsters by Scarlett St. Clair
I have an older review of a book I didn’t like at all that always gets lots of views, so funny.
Wow – that is an incredible stat for Fourth Wing! Well done 🙂
Thanks, I think the timing of posting my review was good:-)
I can’t wait to start The Seven-Year Slip!!
I hope you love it too!
I love that your favorite of the month is the one that’s not of your usual genres. What are the odds! I hope you have an equally great month in July.
I was so surprised about The Seven Year Slip! Maybe I need to try more contemporary romances…
I haven’t read these yet but there are some I want to read.
It’s hard to read everything, that’s for sure. Or should I say “impossible.” 🙂
Fourth Wing is crazy popular. I’m waiting for my turn with the library and I hope I like it . . .
Maeve Fly was so good! Ahhh, I loved that book.
I loved Maeve Fly too, the book and the character:-)
Nice! For some reason, I hadn’t seen your top book, so on my way now.
I had 2 favorites this month: https://wordsandpeace.com/2023/06/29/2023-june-wrap-up/
Happy July reading!
Thanks Emma, you too:-)
You had a good month!!
It was pretty good:-)
Look s like a good reading month. That Fourth Wing stat is pretty amazing 😀
It’s definitely the most popular book I’ve ever reviewed:-)
I haven’t read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini. It on my tbr.
Have a great July reading month.
Thank you!
The people love Fourth Wing!
Ha ha so true:-)
Um, wow. That’s a huge amount of views for ONE month, but compared to everything else…
It is crazy, it’s such a hyped book!
Fourth Wing is a social media sensation but so worth it!
It’s nice when the hype is real:-)
I finally was able to order a copy of Fourth Wing. Can’t wait till it gets delivered…to put it on my shelf until I get time to read it, lol. You had some good books this past month, and we both enjoyed the Ashley Poston one!
