Favorite Book Read This Month: Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy. It’s seriously amazing! Read it/pre-order it and you won’t regret it!
Least Favorite Book Read This Month: Made You Up by Francesca Zappia. I had such high hopes for this one, but it fell flat for me.
Book that Most Surprised Me This Month: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. What a plot twist! Look for my review in August.

Updates About My Life This Month:
I’m so pleased that I was able to read so many books and start two new features this month despite going on a week-long hiatus! I’ve had so much wonderful reading material to choose from thanks to ALA, and I’ve been enjoying reading outside as much as I can. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll see most of my reading has been done by the pool lately! Aside from going to Washington D.C., I’ve also been integrating more outdoor activities as the summer progresses, such as taking up hiking as a hobby and journeying to some lakes to enjoy swimming. In August I’m taking part in the ARC August challenge, so expect reviews of some exciting titles!
Looks like you had a wonderful month! I love the new features that youve introduced on your blog and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts for Everything, Everything! xoxo
Thank you so much, Josie! My review of Everything, Everything should be going up on the 17th of this month! It’s such a good book!
Ahhh you had a great month! Hope you enjoyed My Life Next Door because I really enjoyed that book. Currently reading Everything, Everything and loving it! Great recap, thanks Cristina. 😉

I adored MLND! (Review is coming next week!) Hope you enjoy Everything, Everything…it has quite a surprising ending!
I am looking forward to Everything, Everything (both the release and your review!) and I might have to stalk your goodreads to see what you thought of My Life Next Door because literally everyone loves it. Also, Dumplin’ . . . I cannot wait until this is released.

DIMPLIN’ IS EVERYTHING. Seriously, it’s one of the best contemporaries I’ve read all year! Everything Everything was pretty great too…I love when hyped books live up to the expectations we set for them! My Life Next Door was also really good, and I was simply expecting it to just be a fluffy beach read. While it does have its fluffy moments, it definitely has heavier plot points worked it that keep it balanced and kept me as a reader super invested in the outcome.
Woohoo! Look at you already surpassing your Re-Read Challenge Goal — that’s awesome!! And I’m happy to see you loved The Royal We because it’s one of my favorites 🙂 I love your Relationship Role Models post, and I can’t wait to see what couples you highlight in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Hannah! I actually first heard about The Royal We on your blog, and bought it after you sang it’s praises (sometimes it’s nice to take a break from YA and read some adult fiction!)
I am so jealous of all your reading and all of those awesome books that I want too want to read. I need to get my reading game back. Moving into my first house has become my life. hahah
Moving into your first house is so exciting though! Have you put up any bookshelves yet? 🙂
