June has been a successful reading month for me, compared to May where I only read 2 books the entire month. Not only was I able to get out of my book hangover through my discovery of new and very interesting books, but June has also been the month where I bought A LOT OF BOOKS! So I’ll be featuring both my June Wrap-Up and Book Haul, together with my July TBR.

JUNE WRAP-UP

I read a total of 6 books, comprised of 4 novels, 1 reread book, and 1 novella. I’m going to post the book reviews of those I haven’t written yet sometime soon.

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare – ★★★★★
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab – ★★★★★
Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan (reread) – ★★★★★
Royally Raised by Emma Chase ★★★★.5
Ruthless People by J.J. McAvoy – ★★★★★
Damaged Like Us by Krista and Becca Ritchie – ★★★★★

JUNE BOOK HAUL

My June Book Haul is probably my biggest book haul so far in 2017. I got a total of 9 books, and I’m actually still waiting until now for my Book Depository orders and this other book I’ve just ordered yesterday from a local seller. I’ll just include those in the next month. My wallet is literally crying right now because of all the hoarding I’ve done this month. I bought most of these books from secondhand bookstores and local sellers, but the others are brand new and I got from bookstores – most of them were on SALE! I would never pass on the opportunity when books are on sale.

I have both City of Lost souls and City of Heavenly Fire on my list even though I’ve read them already. They’re the two books that I’ve been looking for years since I couldn’t find any of the old covers in bookstores.

Bookstore finds

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare (I got this on sale for only P245! and it’s hardbound!)
Seeker by (I also got this together with CoLS and it was only P199!)

JULY TBR

While I still have a lot of unread books in my bookshelves and my massive June Haul, I only bumped up 3 books for my TBR list on July! These stories are the ones I’ve been dying to read for a long time, so they are my top priority. So these are:

My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton (just started today)
The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
Assassin’s Heart by Sarah Ahiers
