JUNE WRAPUP (aka the month of eventful things)

Hi,

Feels like it's been forever since I last posted a wrapup. June felt long for me. I'm not sure if it's because of the things that went on around us or if it's because I tried being extra productive. But either way, I'm glad that's done. But while some countries are somewhat recovering, mine isn't. We've been doing this thing badly.

The past month, I tried reading books I borrowed from my best friend. I really stuck up to that tbr and it really worked so well for me. For the month of June I read 3 of them and as of today (July 2), I finished another one which makes it 4 out of the 9 books I have from him. I have 5 left from his books. I'll probably get to that another time :)

I've set up another themed TBR which is scheduled to go up tomorrow :)

books read

Bookishly Ever After (Ever After #1) by Isabel Bandeira | The Radium Girls by Kate Moore | He Will Be My Ruin by K.A. Tucker | If We Were Vilains by M.L. Rio | This Love Story Will Self-Destruct by Leslie Cohen

quick thoughts right here with their respective Popsugar prompts👇

Bookishly Ever After (book on the cover) - this turned out a bit cringe-y for me but still quite an adorable romance. See my review here!

The Radium Girls (subject you know nothing about) - this is one of those books that I think is an important read. I've written a few thoughts about this here.

He Will Be My Ruin (main character in their 20s) - this actually turned out as I expected it to be (although I got one surprised twist). I liked the thriller aspect and I got fully engaged with this thriller.

If We Were Villains - I still have no idea which prompt this can fit but I'm leaving this empty for now. But I liked this book. I like how it presented its characters in relation to Shakespeare's works and how acting as a whole kind of made an impact in their life. I also like the psychological aspect of the death of one of their classmates to each of them.

This Love Story Will Self-Destruct (past Popsugar Reading Challenge - Debut Novel) - I really liked this one more than I expected. I like how it explored the growth of the characters individually and together as a couple.
